KP Duty – Bacon Ranch Wings

wings

I made a lot of food for the boys while they were watching the Super Bowl and pre-game shows. I made cheese sticks, pizza rolls, pierogies, taco dip, and a favorite that we’ve missed since we moved – bacon ranch wings. This recipe is ridiculously easy. First I was so happy to find some nice… read more »

KP Duty: Chicken and Rice for Cuisinart Multi Cooker

chicken and rice

I’ve been in a food rut. Making a lot of the same types of meals night after night – meat and potatoes or low fat soup. I did try to change up my mashed potatoes by adding parsnips, but even that’s gotten old hat. So off to search Google for something new. Something that would… read more »

KP Duty: Gluten Free Cupcakes

GF-choc-cupcake

I know, I know, I’m on a cupcake kick. Cupcakes and cookies are what I bake. They’re what I’m good at baking. Deal with it. These are good. You may be wondering why I made gluten free cupcakes for my son’s birthday. The grandparents all decided to visit this weekend. It was a pleasant and… read more »

KP Duty: Troegs Javahead Cupcakes

KP Duty

OK, so this is sort of a collaboration between KP Duty and From the Class 6. I know a lot of chefs say to cook with beers and wines that you  like to drink. This is one case where a beer that my husband doesn’t like to drink is great for baking. My husband likes… read more »

KP Duty – Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients: 1 onion (I use sweet, use whatever you like) 1 package of mushrooms (white or baby bella) 1 16oz. package of bacon 1lb… read more »

KP Duty – Roasted Pork Loin and Potatoes

This was something new I tried, since we don’t generally use mustard in my house. It was tasty, but not very flavor full. I think this recipe would bode much better letting the pork loin marinade in the mustard mixture for a couple hours. Roasted Pork Loin Ingredients: 1lb boneless pork loin 1/2 c. lemon… read more »

KP Duty: The Basics

amandakp

I posted a picture of dinner on Twitter last night, and got an inquiry on if I do the grilling in my house. I in fact do. All of the cooking is my domain. I grew up watching and helping my grandma and aunt cook, and then working in restaurants as my first jobs (but… read more »

KP Duty – Cheeseburger Flatbreads

Cheeseburger flatbread

As promised last week, this week, I’m posting the recipe for cheeseburger flatbreads. As always, KP Duty is about getting in the kitchen and cooking for yourself. It doesn’t have to be fancy. I don’t always promise healthy either. Friday is what we call our “junk food” day in our house. Some of the recipes… read more »

KP Duty – Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips

IMG00119-20110303-1827

I’m going to start a new series called “KP Duty.” My husband insists this shows my age, and just how long we’ve been around the Army, but I’m OK with that. The purpose of this series is to show that cooking without a box doesn’t have to be complicated. Most meals I make are meals… read more »
