We Can Do It Better: How To Make A Homemade Gordita
Fans of the blog know that we now have a long-running series of posts that explain how to make different Taco Bell menu items at home, for cheaper, and healthier, all of which taste the same or better. We’ve covered the quesarito, burritos, chicken flatbreads, and even the quesalupa which hasn’t been released outside of Ohio yet! Well, let’s continue that tradition with another favorite, the gordita.
Quick Recipe: Tzatziki Sauce
If you’ve had a gyro, you know the magical sauce known as tzatziki. This yogurt based sauce is common in Greek cuisine, often being served with grilled meats. It can also be used as a dip. Tzatziki sauce is one of my favorite condiments, and not just because it was a topic of conversation during me and Erik’s second date. I just find it super yummy. Luckily it is super easy to make at home. This is good news, since, while delicious, Greek food does tend to be on the more expensive side.
It may not photograph well, but it certainly tastes good.
Cheat Codes: Instant Shredded Chicken
A couple weeks ago we covered making pulled/shredded chicken from scratch. It’s fairly easy, and it makes for awesome yummy recipes. But what if there were a way to make it even easier? What if, say, you wanted to just… buy chicken and shred it in like two minutes flat?
Ohhhhhhh.
Cheat Codes: Overnight Oatmeal
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a morning person. At all. I enjoy my sleep, and I enjoy it well into the late hours of the morning. And those times I do have to get up early it takes me a long time to get going. So knowing my breakfast is ready and waiting for me when I get up is a load off. While there are some other types of breakfast that you can prepare in advance, today I’ll be tackling everyone’s favorite winter breakfast: oatmeal.
What is this morning you speak of?
Quick Recipe: Curry Dipping Sauce
This recipe doesn’t really have much of an elaborate back story or anything. Basically, I made it to go along with the chicken fingers I made for dinner one night. While honey mustard is my go-to, all-time favorite dipping condiment for chicken fingers, I was just in the mood to try something different this time. So I whipped up this recipe off the top of my head. It’s really yummy for chicken fingers, and also French fries. It takes a standard American food and gives it a touch of exotic flair.
