Recipe Notes

Wow, these are powerful!  It is listed as I made it, but I think next time I will use 1/2 the Old Bay Seasoning, and probably 1/2 the salt.

Also, I didn't use lemon zest, I used ~1/2 tsp of lemon juice.  Might have made it a bit juicier then it should have been.  So I think net time I'll try a little more bread crumbs, too.  No parsley, either.  And I didn't serve with lemon wedges, but you're welcome to.  🙂

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut diagonally into the chicken breasts about 1/4 inch deep in an x shape to allow the bbq sauce to flavor more of the chicken. (like how a holiday ham has the top cut into an x shape).
  3. Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl and toss well together until mixed.
  4. Add the chicken to a sheet pan, then pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.
  5. Cook for 25 -30 minutes or until caramelized, browned and cooked through.
  6. Shred the chicken with the forks and serve in your favorite bun, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
  7. If the sauce didn't cook down enough (if you use a pan that's too small it may not), then add the sauce to a saucepan and cook on medium heat until thickened (likely 15-20 minutes).
Recipe Notes

Original Recipe:  https://dinnerthendessert.com/bbq-pulled-chicken/

I had a bit over 2 lb, so I think I should have had more sauce.  Also, we shredded the chicken, then mixed it together, covered the pan in foil, and put back in the oven for a few minutes, maybe 10-15 minutes.  Awesome!

I plan to do more work on the sauce - I think I can make it better!  🙂

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork, lamb, ground round, cheese, egg, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs. Using your hands, mix all ingredients until well incorporated. Use immediately or place in refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  3. Using a scale, weigh meatballs into 1-ounce portions and place on a wire rack set in a sheet pan. Using your hands, shape the meatballs into rounds, roll in the bread crumbs and place the meatballs in individual, miniature muffin tin cups. Bake for 17 minutes or until cooked through.
Recipe Notes

I changed from 1 1/2 to 1 oz meatballs, because they were kind of big.

Optional - original recipe called for the meatballs to be rolled in 1/4 C bread crumbs, but I don't think it's necessary, so I removed that.  But you're welcome to add it back!

Instructions
  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375°F. Cook the pasta and sauce while the oven is heating.
  2. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
  3. See Quick & Easy Marinara Sauce; can be cooked while the oven is heating and pasta is cooking.
  4. When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until just tender. While the pasta is cooking, make the ricotta filling.
  5. Stir the ricotta, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, and salt together in a small bowl; set aside.
  6. When the pasta is ready, drain it in a colander or strainer.
  7. Return the pasta to the now-empty pot. Add half of the sauce (about 3 cups) and stir until the pasta is well-coated. Add the meat, stirring to mix thoroughly. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Add the ricotta mixture to the pasta and fold it in, leaving big pockets of ricotta here and there.
  9. Transfer half of the pasta mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer. Evenly sprinkle with half of the mozzarella. Top with the remaining pasta in an even layer.
  10. Pour the remaining sauce over the pasta and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the surface evenly with the remaining mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  11. Bake uncovered until the edges are bubbling and the cheese is completely melted and browned in spots, about 30 minutes.
  12. Remove the baking dish to a wire rack and let cool 15 minutes before serving.

  1. Peel potatoes and cut into somewhat evenly sized chunks.
  2. Put in saucepan and cover with water with a 1/2" to spare. Add a good amount of iodized salt, maybe 1 Tbsp. Bring to a boil, watching to make sure they don't boil over.
  3. When taters are fork tender, about 10-15 minutes of boiling, drain water, then use a potato masher to make them creamy, but you can leave a few tender chunks as little surprises for later.
  4. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  5. Serve.

Instructions
  1. Heat a large paella pan (or large saute pan) over medium heat. Add the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until onion is softened and turning golden. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  2. Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until it is completely mixed in and the onions are rust colored, 2- 3 minutes.
  3. Add the salt, paprika, chili flakes, turmeric and saffron, stir to incorporate.
  4. Add the rice and stir fry until the rice is completely coated with the oil and spices.
  5. Stir in the stock. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Add in the sliced chorizo and cook for about 5 more minutes.
  8. Add cooked chicken. You may need to press the shrimp into the rice with a spoon so that they are almost covered with the remaining liquid. Cook for 5-10 more minutes or until liquid is evaporated.
  9. Sprinkle parsley on top and serve.
Recipe Notes

*If you cannot find bomba rice you can use arborio. Be sure to follow package instructions for the amount of liquid, defer to package instructions if they are different than what is listed here. *If you cannot find Spanish chorizo you can use andouille sausage or Kielbasa. Be sure you get the kind that is ready to eat and not one that is raw. *I always use kosher salt. If you do not have kosher salt and are using regular table salt, reduce salt to ½ teaspoon and adjust for taste. *The bottom of the paella can burn, be sure to reduce heat to low and watch carefully to avoid burning.

  1. Bring 12" sauté pan of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Prepare a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Remove ravioli using a slotted spoon and place in a single layer on the sheet pan, then discard water.
  2. Place the pan over medium heat. Add oil, butter, and garlic; sauté until butter begins to bubble, about 1 minute. Add red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; stir with a rubber spatula. Add half the ravioli and stir gently until well coated; immediately add balance of ravioli and repeat. Flip the ravioli gently as needed to prevent them from sticking. Cook ravioli until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. Toss in spinach gently, then garnish with parsley and Parmesan. Serve immediately.
