Homemade Chinese Wonton Soup recipe that’s authentic and easy to make! The wontons are made from scratch and the dumplings are filled with pork. It tastes just like your favorirte Chinese restaurant soup but much more healthy for you!
I met Matthew during my first few weeks at Art School in Pittsburgh in 2002. Months later, we were dating. Months after that, we moved in (with Essy!). 15 years later, we’ve changed locations, added a few furry and human children to the family, and are still doing out art together. What else do we do together? We cook in the kitchen.
Wonton Soup Recipe (That’s easy to make!)
I would say that I cook the majority of the meals that we eat for dinner, but once in a while Matthew cooks up dinner and it’s always delicious. One recipe he’s really into and made it his goal to perfect was homemade wonton soup.
Wonton soup is a favorite of ours and is one of the most popular things we order from Chinese takeout (besides chicken and broccoli!), but we wanted to make it ourselves, including making the wontons from scratch.
Matthew was on a wonton kick for a few weeks, where he spent many nights in the kitchen rolling dough and trying different filler contents to add to the wontons. I have to say this recipe is the real deal and it receives a 10/10 on the “I Love You!” scale.
Also, it tastes JUST LIKE the Chinese restaraunt – but so much more healthier because it’s homemade!

Look, I’m not saying all people from the Midwest love Slow Cooker meals filled with meat and vegetable (especially potatoes) but that’s totally what I’m saying. My husband, a man raised in good ol Ohio, raves about my Slow Cooker Kielbasa, Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes. I could give him the option of having a fancy schmancy French cuisine or Slow Cooker Kielbasa for dinner and there would be no discussion – it’s Slow Cooker Kielbasa, Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes all the way!

Over the weekend I was itching to make something with sweet potatoes so I decided to make a classic Fall recipe – Sweet Potato soup! We love sweet potatoes so much, we might have to start growing our own sweet potatoes soon!

One of the most popular Sunday meals were pork, mashed potatoes and a vegetable side – my brother loved this! Now fast forward 25 years and I still love making a classic dish for my family to enjoy. I made this for Matthew a few days ago and he fell in love with it!
EASY and HEALTHY Chinese Green Beans With Ham recipe! These taste just like the Chinese buffet! A soy sauce garlic sauce is added on top of the beans in this easy to make dish that only takes 15 minutes to make!
Chinese food is one of my favorites but I have to admit that usually after I eat takeout I feel guilty and awful. Over the years I’ve really been working hard to perfect some Chinese recipes to get them tasting like the restaurant but healthier by making them in my own kitchen. I even have a section of Chinese recipes favorites here, with a little push that the Chicken and Broccoli is a fan favorite on my blog.
Fresh Green Beans Recipe
Right now we have a bunch of green beans growing in the garden. I love rooting around in the bush beans trying to find the beans. I love my Slow Cooker Green Beans recipe, but I wanted to try something new!
With some freshly green beans just picked I knew what was on the menu: Chinese Green Beans, just like from the Chinese buffet! To make this a full all around meal ham is a great addition to Chinese Green Beans. You can used Cubed Ham or Diced Ham, depending on what you like. It’s also a perfect recipe for leftover ham.
What else do you need? I love adding green peppers to Chinese meals because they soak up the soy sauce and other sauces so nicely. Whenever I get broccoli and garlic sauce for takeout, they always add green peppers. I love it!
And 15 minutes later, your meal is done. That’s faster than calling the Chinese restaurant and waiting for it to be delivered! Not to mention it’s so much more healthy!
If you have sesame seeds in your pantry, sprinkle some on top. They make a nice little crunch on top.
Enjoy my Chinese Green Beans recipe! Now load up on beans and enjoy your meal!

These taste like FRENCH TOAST! EASY, YUMMY breakfast sandwich made in 2 MINUTES! This Maple Syrup, Egg, Ham and Cheese Sandwich recipe is great for a quick breakfast! You can freeze the sandwiches to make ahead too!
It’s almost September! Yipee! You see, I’m a Fall girl so I love everything about these next upcoming months. But with Fall, comes early mornings. Maybe it’s back to work (or maybe it’s regular go to work), getting your kids on the bus, making your loved one a on the go sandwich, or throwing together a quick dinner sandwich after basketball practice. This Maple Syrup Ham, Egg and Cheese Sandwich is crazy good, will fill you up and the best part, it’s made in seconds. I’m serious. You can literally have this made in under 2 minutes!
The sandwich is based on a popular fastfood sandwich, but homemade so you know what’s going into it and you can use the best ingredients. It hits the spot of being savory (ham, egg, cheese) but with a touch of sweetness (maple syrup). You can serve it up for breakfast, pack it for lunch (just put the syrup on the side) or make for dinner. I’m a fan of breakfast for dinner, so make these up and serve with some greens on the side and you’re set.
The garden season began months ago (officially with seeds) but when the hot and humid weather hits then it really seems like it’s garden time. That time is now! The garden is in full bloom right with all of our Spring and many of our Summer plants growing (cucumbers and cantaloupe seeds inside).
Every year we grow a few heads of bok choy. Do you remember the size of last year’s bok choy? This year is no exception. We decided to plant the bok choy in the long kale and onion box this year instead of the usual container. I was worried they wouldn’t grow as big, but they always like to show how great they are… and here they are:
These Cheesy Jalapeno Sausage Dogs are quickly becoming a Summertime favorite here! We had them a few nights ago and we’re still discussing how good they were. In fact, I’m planning to grill up a few more for dinner tonight!
Who doesn’t love a grilled sausage, covered in cheese? Throw on some Mexican taste of salsa verde, jalapenos and onions and you got a Sausage Dog bursting full of flavor!
FAMILY FAVORITE Slow Cooker Sausage and Sauerkraut served over mashed potatoes! This easy crockpot meal will become your family’s new favorite dinner! Use a good pork kielbasa for full flavor! It’s inspired by my Polish family!
A few weeks ago I was left with a cup of sauerkraut. Being a person that doesn’t like any food to go waste I was going crazy with what to do with it. We used some of it up on chili cheese dogs but what was going to be next?
Then I thought of all the great family Polish recipes I ate as a kid. There was always sauerkraut alongside meat and mashed potatoes so that’s how this Slow Cooker Sausage and Sauerkraut recipe was created.
Sausage and Sauerkraut Ingredients
This is a simple recipe that doesn’t require many ingredients.
1 cup sauerkraut
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 pound pork sausage cut up into 1-2 inch pieces
1/2 onion sliced
1/4 cup water
How to Make Slow Cooker Sausage and Sauerkraut
In a bowl combine the sauerkraut and brown sugar. Place this into slow cooker.
Next arrange the sausage pieces and onion over the sauerkraut.
Pour water on top.
Cook on high for 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure there is still water.
Reduce to low and cook for 2 more hours.
Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles
It’s funny how recipes that just came out of no where end up being your favorite. This slow cooked Sausage and Sauerkraut dish was a huge hit at the dinner table leaving it a now favorite favorite meal. The meat becomes so tender and juicy in the slow cooker and it picks up the spices of the brown sugar giving it a slight sweet taste.
What to serve with Sauerkraut and Sausage?
I served this on mashed potatoes which I would totally recommend but you could also serve over rice or noodles. This is my favorite mashed potatoes recipe if you’re looking for a new one.
So next time you’re wondering what’s for dinner, give this Slow Cooker Sauerkraut and Sausage dish a shot. I think you will love it just as much as we do!

Welcome to a new week, I hope you all had a lovely weekend.
We have a new favorite dinner that we’ve been making almost bi-weekly now, it’s Easy Cheesy Lasagna Skillet. Lasagna is hands down one of our favorite dinners, but sometimes you just don’t have the time to organize the layers and bake in the oven, this skillet is quick, cheesy and oh goodness is it delicious. What makes this lasagna extra special? Well besides the ricotta cheese which makes everything creamy, there’s Sweet Italian Sausage which I’m pretty much in love with at the moment. After I brown the sausage there’s a good 3 minute period where I just stand by the stove and eat it out of the pan.
Added into the lasagna is garden fresh spaghetti sauce, fresh basil, green peppers and some mushrooms. In my opinion life is better when there is mushrooms and green peppers involved. Lately, we’ve been putting them on our pizza too – what a great combo.
So next time you are craving lasagna but don’t want to wait or do the extra work, throw all these ingredients in a skillet and you’ll have the creamiest dinner in all the land! This is definitely a keeper. Bonus: Leftovers are delicious!
1poundsweet Italian sausage - out of their casings
24ozjar of spaghetti sauce
2cupsricotta cheese
2cupsshredded mozzarella cheese
8ozcut up mushrooms
1green pepper diced
handful of fresh basil
Instructions
Brown sausage in skillet.
Break lasagna noodles in half and cook as directed. Drain.
When noodles are cooked add them to the skillet of browned sausage. Add in spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, mushrooms and diced green pepper.
Cook until melted and well heated, about 10 minutes on medium heat. Stir so ricotta is distributed evenly.
Put remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese on top, sprinkle fresh basil on top. Cover and cook until cheese is completely melted.
When I first found a great cauliflower pizza casserole recipe it called for pureed cauliflower, but pureeing cauliflower that we grew seemed like a absolute sin to me. I can’t give so much energy and love to our garden cauliflower and then just blend it up, that would be the saddest thing ever. If we were ever to sell produce commercially I would put on every single package a (cute) warning sign that says “YOU MAY NOT PUREE ME, IT WILL MAKE PAMELA VERY SAD, PLEASE LOVE CAULIFLOWER WHOLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH”. So in my recipe, we cut it into small bite size pieces. I prefer it this way as well as the cheese will get in all the nooks and crannies of the cauliflower. And who doesn’t’ like cheese? Especially with cauliflower. This is a absolute win situation. Here’s your cauliflower. Mine happens to talk.
Here’s your cream, butter and garlic mixture. Pizza always needs a little garlic.
And here’s your pepperoni. I quartered each slice. Do this with scissors, a knife or just tear it apart with your hands.
This is step 1 of the casserole, your cauliflower/butter mixture/pepperoni are all mixed up.
Step 2: Add your pizza sauce.
Step 3: Add your cheese! Be brave, cover this sucker.
Step 4: Pepperoni time. Feel free to eat a few slices too, I won’t tell anyone.
Then into the oven it goes…
And out of the oven it comes! Mamma-Mia!
The cheese is melted, a little bubbly, a little brown. I have pure joy right now.
Then take a few whole basil leave and put it on top. I love pizza with fresh basil.
Cauliflower Pepperoni Pizza Casserole, it’s like having your own garden pizzeria! Major winner here – enjoy!
