We love Thai food and one of the dishes my husband gets most often is Pad Thai. I don’t cook many Thai dishes but decided to give Shrimp Pad Thai a try and I’m so glad I did. It was so easy and we really love the sauce in this recipe. This is great for a busy week night dish as it comes together very fast once the noodles have soaked.
INGREDIENTS
- 8 Oz. Rice noodles
- 3 Tablespoons garlic infused olive oil
- 1 pound uncooked medium or large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon ground paprika
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
Soak the rice noodles in cold water for 40 minutes. The noodles will soften but will still be firm to the touch. They will continue to cook and soften when added to the hot skillet. After 30 minutes drain and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and shrimp. Stir fry for about 3 minutes, add noodles and bell pepper slices and continue to cook until noodles are translucent, about 5 more minutes.
Add fish sauce, sugar, vinegar and paprika. Stir until well mixed. Create a well by pushing the noodle mixture to the sides of the skillet. Add the beaten egg into the well and let cook until the egg just starts to set then stir the cooked egg into the rest of the noodle mixture. Add soy sauce, scallions and bean sprouts stir to mix. Serve warm.

This dish is so easy and so delicious. I put this in my slow cooker and let it go for the afternoon. Although I did make one change to the recipe. That was to add the pulled pork into an ovenproof dish and put it under the broiler for just a few minutes. Doing this tightens up the sauce and gets some nice crispy edges on the pork without drying it out.
I made this dish two ways. The first as it’s written on hamburger buns. The second way was making the pulled pork into BBQ quesadillas by adding some maple BBQ sauce to the pork, about a cup. Lay a buttered tortilla butter side down over a pan heated over medium heat. Add enough pork to cover the tortilla, top with sharp cheddar cheese and about 1/4 cup of your favorite coleslaw. Top with a second tortilla with it being butter side up. Cook until lightly browned on the bottom, flip and cook until the second side is lightly browned.
INGREDIENTS
- 4-6 pound pork shoulder (this will feed 6-8)
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cayenne/ divided
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- hamburger or slider buns for serving
DIRECTIONS
Combine spices, using only a 1/2 teaspoon of the cayenne and rub all over the pork shoulder. Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-6 hours, cook until it is fork tender and easily falls apart. When it’s done cooking, shred the pork and leave it in the slow cooker. Add the vinegar and maple syrup along the 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Mix everything well in the slow cooker coating all of the pork. Continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes.
This is the point I put the pork in an oven safe dish and under the broiler for just a few minutes to tighten the sauce and get some crispy bits on the pork. This step is optional. Serve warm on hamburger or slider buns. If you have leftovers as I did, go ahead and make those delicious quesadillas.

I made this dish for Robby so I used a gluten free pasta but this is great using regular pasta as well. This dish has all the components of a bacon cheeseburger without the bun. Easy to make and delicious. We can’t get to our grill with the snow and really cold weather, so this was a great way to get those flavors and staying warm inside! Nice and hearty to fill you up, Add a salad and dinner is done!

- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons yellow prepared mustard
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- pinch of salt
- pinch of pepper
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

We have had a crazy couple of weeks around here so I have some super simple recipes coming up for you this week. I was doing a lot of baking last week and looked in the fridge for a little something for the boys around here and saw kielbasa and Bacon and a trusty bottle of BBQ sauce. I knew exactly what I was going to do. You guessed it, this amazing little gem was born! I air fried them, but they could easily be baked or even grilled in the summer!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 fully cooked kielbasa ring
- 4-5 slices of thick cut bacon
- 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
DIRECTIONS
Cut the kielbasa link the same size as the width of the bacon. My kielbasa gave me 8-9 pieces. Cut the bacon slices large enough to wrap around the kielbasa pieces and secure the bacon with a toothpick. Do this for each of the kielbasa pieces. Slather the BBQ sauce all over the kielbasa, bacon pieces, and place in your air fryer.
Air fry at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until the bacon is done until your deisired crispness. Let cool for just a couple minutes, remove the toothpicks and serve warm.
Enjoy!
