Just before I popped these bad boys into the oven.  No, I didn’t eat all four.  I packed the rest away in my freezer, just waiting on me to pop in the oven on a rainy day.

 This is what happens when you’re a college girl.  You cook and cook and then cook some more.  Downside is, you have no one to share your creations with.  Oh well, thank goodness for freezers and the fact that I’ve become the awesome cooking college girl.

Here ya go.  Perfect shot of dinner and semi-cramming for finals this week.  I’m ready for this semester to be over with, I’m over it and ready to move on from this JV coding atmosphere.

One of the best pots of chili I’ve had in forever.  I took my usual recipe and just threw it in the pot to cook all night.  Turns out, this is even better than cooking in the stock pot, like I was raised to do.  Plus, if you turn it on low and leave it running all night all the flavors blend much better than they would normally.  Thinking I’ll be making this for Superbowl parties in the future.

A new recipe called Cream Cheese Chicken that I found online last week, it’s to die for and Gluten Free!  I’ll post the recipe under my Gluten Free section later on this week, but y’all will not be disappointed when making this.  I think it’s best compared to beef stroganoff, it has the “gravy” type texture and I’ve served it over rice AND pasta.  It’s very versatile and leaves you very filled.

I’m a pro at making some delicious goodies.  Some you wouldn’t have a clue they didn’t contain Gluten.  Just shows you how great of a cook I really am.

Any guesses what tasty thing I’m cooking up here?  I promise it’s going to be delicious actually I know it will be, the finished product is sitting in front of me and is nearly devoured.  This stuff is soooooo good.

Just another step after cooking rice.  Add a few cans of non-condensed cream of mushroom soup and a can of cream of chicken and you’ve got yourself somewhat of a meal.  Just have to chop some chicken to add to this creation and you’re all set for a hot and yummy meal.

Oma always has said charcoal is good for you.  So while cooking a delicious steak the other day I took her advice literally.  Well actually it wasn’t my intention of cooking my steak in an extra crispy sorta way, it just happened.  Pan frying steak is my way of cooking steak, especially when it’s just me.    So you can expect an extra crispy medium rare steak when you come to visit and want a pan fried steak.  Well, it’ll still be medium rare, but that’s the only way steaks are allowed to be cooked round these parts.

So Oma, thanks for teaching me that charcoal is a great thing for you & I didn’t need to give this one to the dogs!

I’m channeling Sponge Bob Square Pants and eating plenty of Salmon patties.  I {love} Salmon and it’s Gluten Free, so it’s the best of both worlds in my world.  Now if I could just find a decent recipe for a bun, then I’d be all set for a Salmon Burger and not just a patty.

*As of now I’m on the look out for a new bun recipe.
