When I first started my little corner on the internet almost 4 years ago, I often shared easy dinners for families. To this date, a few of those are still the recipes that are heavily visited on this site. It's no wonder, no matter how many meals I make or how many recipes I've added to my arsenal, sometimes I'm still clueless of what to make for dinner. Even folks that don't cook at home have a hard time choosing where to eat dinner at, so of course figuring out what to make is always going … [Read more...]
Chicken and Cilantro Rice Salad Bowl
Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. and Pinnacle Foods Group LLC. All opinions are entirely my own. Lunchtime for me is a bit of an adventure. Since I technically work from home, I usually just heat something up from the night before and have that as my lunch. Sometimes I'll whip up something quick, or I might even head out for lunch somewhere local, although usually I just bring it back home with me. On the occasion that I do feel like preparing something, I like to … [Read more...]
Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt
A very special thank you to San Luis Sourdough® breads for sponsoring this recipe. As always, all opinions are my own! Sometimes I feel like I use the same ingredients over and over again, just in different forms. I guess it makes sense when you think about it, when grocery shopping we all tend to buy things we're familiar with week and and week out. I know one of my favorite snacks is some Italian Dry Salame with sliced pepper jack cheese. It's seriously the best. Now, my daughter RiRi … [Read more...]

Mama Harris’ Kitchen’s Top 15 Recipes from 2015!
Wow, guys! Another year has come and (almost) gone. I hope the holiday season was good to you, and you were warm, cozy and loved.

Thanksgiving for the Vegetarian – 12 Recipe Ideas
Thanksgiving is best known for Turkey. It's pretty synonymous and what most of us expect that celebrate a traditional Thanksgiving. Sometimes there's a ham thrown in too, and many family like to add other meats that might be their favorite too. Where does this leave the vegetarian, though? Sure, one would assume the vegetarian will eat one of the traditional sides like Macaroni and Cheese or Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. However, we have a tendency to add meats and broths to those as well. I see … [Read more...]
Mushroom, Zucchini and Carrot Saute
One of my favorite things, ever, is sautéed mushrooms. I'm a big mushroom lover as it is, but placing those babies in a pan with a bit of seasonings and some olive oil just makes them so incredibly tasty. I swear I could eat them like candy. All summer long I made different variations of sautéed mushrooms, sometimes with zucchini, maybe some tomatoes, and trying a variety of other veggies mixed in too. It's such an easy dish and you can serve it over rice, or with some pan fried fish that it … [Read more...]

Spicy Gazpacho
The very first time I tried gazpacho was a few years ago when I traveled to Texas during the hot summer months. It was early in the summer so the weather really wasn't much warmer than what I'm used to in the hotter parts of Northern California. My hair would tell you otherwise because it couldn't decide if it wanted to be frizzy and big or flat at the roots. I ended up fixing my hair about 5 times a day just to be prepared for any photo opps, but that's another story for another time. I had … [Read more...]
Garlic Butter Shrimp Over Cucumber Radish Salad
Lately I've been doing a lot of cooking outdoors. We've really been enjoying the weather and our backyard, but today I decided I wanted something quick and simple to eat. I had picked up some fresh shrimp from the deli at one of my favorite stores and I'd received some Pure Irish Butter and Blarney Castle Cheese from Kerrygold as a part of their Loyalty Program, so I figured I'd try my hand and combine everything to create the perfect salad for dinnertime. I used the salted butter with some … [Read more...]
