If you are in the mood for a burger but want to try something a little out of the ordinary, these Gyros Burgers are perfect! Do you know much about Greek food? I sure don't, but I like meat and spicy yogurt sauce, so gyros sandwiches are my kind of food. I don't happen to have a giant hunk of meat or tall vertical spit available in my kitchen, so these Gyros Burgers are about as close as I'm going to get at home. The Greek yogurt sauce is cool yet spicy, and the pita pocket makes it ... continue reading...
Easy Weekly Dinner Menu #14 – Falling Behind
Yesterday, The Pants came home a couple hours early from work. My first reaction should be: "Yay! He's home!" I was, as always, very happy to see him, but my first thought was more like, "Oh no! I didn't have time to fold the mountain of laundry on our bed before he got home, and now he's going to see what a slacker I am!" It's not that I didn't get anything done. I helped at two different school events, revamped my header graphics (again), cleaned the kitchen, worked on this menu, looked for ... continue reading...
Friday Happy Hour: Raspberry Sake Cocktail Recipe
I typically only drink sake when I'm on a sushi date with The Pants, which rarely happens. (I should figure out how to find a babysitter at some point.) This was the first time I bought sake to drink at home, and I wanted to make it into something a little special. It took a few tries to find the right balance of flavors in this sake cocktail, but this version was just right. ... continue reading...
Mediterranean Pita Pizzas
Dinner doesn't get much easier than these Mediterranean Pita Pizzas! These would also make a great party appetizer! These Mediterranean Pita Pizzas are a quick, easy dinner and a nice change of pace from regular pizza. It's easy to customize each portion to everyone's tastes. They are great served warm or at room temperature, so they are good for nights when everyone can't eat at the same time. (If you want to try making your own pita, give this recipe at Delizious Food a try!) ... continue reading...
Irish Whiskey Marinade: Perfect on steak or chicken!
Raid your liquor cabinet for this Irish Whiskey Marinade and get ready for perfect steaks or chicken! I usually keep it really simple with meat seasoning, but I wanted to try something new this time around. I used this marinade for buffalo steaks, and they turned out juicy and flavorful. Would be great on chicken too! Have you ever had buffalo steaks before? I had tried ground buffalo but never steaks. I happened upon them at Whole Foods and figured they were worth a try. They were ... continue reading...
Peanut Butter Apple Pie
Enjoy the classic combination of peanut butter and apple in a satisfying pie! Yesterday I was in need of dessert (when am I NOT in need of dessert?), so I decided to make a pie. Regular old apple pie didn't seem blog worthy, so I tried to think of how I could add some pizazz. Nothing says pizazz like peanut butter. If you love spreading peanut butter on apples, then this recipe is for you. Let's just get this out in the open right now: I use store-bought pie crust. There. I said it. If ... continue reading...
The Weary Chef is Three Months Old!
Three months ago today I started The Weary Chef, and I'm very, very happy I did. This wasn't something I planned for a long time. I had the idea for maybe a week and then suddenly decided to do it. I didn't even have photos for my first menu (I have since added them), but I was inspired, excited, and ready to get started. The first month or so was stressful because I was still figuring out how to fit in blogging with the rest of my life. Now I'm getting the hang of it, and instead of stressed I ... continue reading...
Buttermilk Baked Chicken Drumsticks: A tasty, frugal dinner idea!
Looking for an inexpensive, easy, and delicious dinner idea? These Buttermilk Baked Chicken Drumsticks have your name written all over them! My 7-year-old loves fried chicken legs and has been requesting them lately. Our usual source is the grocery store deli department because I'm sure as heck not frying chicken at home. That's way too messy, and I'm way too weary. Often times, the chicken in the deli looks like it has been under the lights a little too long, and who knows how quality ... continue reading...
Hello Kitty Birthday Party
See how to put together an easy DIY Hello Kitty Birthday party your kids will love! When it was time to decide what kind of cake to make for The Short One's second birthday, I chose Hello Kitty. As you know, I am a mom of two boys. It's possible that we could have a third child, and it's possible that child could be a girl. It's also possible that this was my last chance to throw a Hello Kitty party without the kids saying it's too girly. I've mentioned before that I'm not great at cake ... continue reading...
Easy Weekly Dinner Menu #13 – The Short One Is Growing.
This was a big week: The Short One started preschool! I didn't know how that would go since he is just barely two, and I have never really left him with anyone except The Pants. He tries to sneak into The Tall One's first grade class on an almost daily basis though, so I suspected that he was ready for some sort of school of his own. Boy, was I right. He didn't let out so much as a whimper when I said goodbye on his first day, and he was delighted to go back on the next school day. It is ... continue reading...
Easy Weekly Dinner Menu #12 – Tasty Meals in under 30 Minutes!
Hello, Fellow Chefs. I hope you have all had an enjoyable week. Sadly, we have had a couple tragic losses within our elementary school community recently, and that has made me try to appreciate my family even more than usual lately. When I am reminded how fragile life can be, it really makes me want to hug my loved ones a little tighter and try even harder to keep them happy and safe. On a happier subject, The Short One is going to be starting school next week! He will only be there two ... continue reading...
Jalapeño Popper Burgers
Spice up your dinner with these fun, stuffed Jalapeño Popper Burgers! Normally when I make burgers, I kind of wing it. I throw in some soy sauce or onion soup mix or whatever I happen to grab. This time, I wanted to try something a little more exciting, and the result was mighty tasty. These Jalapeño Popper Burgers are stuffed with Mexican cheese and pickled jalapeño peppers. They were definitely worth the little extra work to stuff them! If the kids (or the adults!) ... continue reading...
