NO FILTER FOOD
Hi! My name is Amanda Martin, and I am a DC-based Chef. I graduated from Culinary school a couple of years ago and have worked in a few restaurants since then. I enjoy sharing the things that I make and how to make them. So I am here to help you! I'm not here to make beautiful and expensive food that tastes average. I am going to make delicious and inexpensive food that looks average. No professional photographers are here, just real, raw, authentic, and unedited food. I hope you like it, and please be nice to me because I don't know how blogs work.
enjoy, sans filter!
Amanda shows how to make Potato Leek soup. --Yummy!
This is a very fun recipe and it was my first time actually making lettuce wraps and it turned out wonderfully! This recipe is extremely easy and quick for a fun weeknight meal that you can whip up in about 30 minutes
Okay, let’s get to this wonderful recipe. This is honestly the first time that i made wings at home, in an oven and I can confidently say that this is something i will be making on the regular, it’s THAT easy.
o, my cousin shared this recipe with me, from Simply Happy Foodie. Whether you have an Instant Pot, a Crock Pot or a stove and a pot, this recipe is delicious and a must have! its creamy, its herbaceous, and most importantly its quick and easy!
Okay, so this cake is pretty much like one big blueberry muffin top, it is extremely moist and delicious. I cannot get enough of it.
I happened upon this recipe flipping through my cookbooks, looking for a soup to make, because I was about to get snowed in for a couple days, so it had to be perfect, and oh it is.
This recipe is one of my favorites of all time! Shepherd’s pie is one of those dishes that fill your stomach just as much as it fills your heart, at least for me it is.
This cookie is absolutely delicious, the cherries in it contrasted with the chocolate AND the salt seriously make them addictive.
I grew up eating those chicken pot pies you buy in the freezer section and on the rare occasion that we would get them I would ALWAYS without fail, dig in way to fast and burn the heck out of my tongue. But having home made, from scratch pot pie is a real treat and something you can always count on being a win with the fam!
People wanted this recipe but honestly, I make it different every time. Sweet potatoes are very important for this hash but if all you have are regular potatoes then do not fear, it will still be delicious. This is very much a throw together what you have kind of dish, thats why it's always fun and very seasonal!
Okay, so this is NOT an original recipe at all, I will leave a link to the real recipe at the end, but I am going to write what I did and what I used to make it my own. This is such an easy, fun and different kind of pizza to make, so if you want to do something unique for pizza night then look no further!
Do you have leftover rice in the fridge from dinner last night? Do you have a few vegetables in the fridge that will go bad, like, tomorrow if you don't use them up? Well look no further than this post right here.
[Amanda’s Dad doing a guest post on her new blog] Irish Cream is a favorite in the Martin household. Be it a nice addition to hot coffee or the main ingredient to an “Irish Car Bomb.” It is always in our liquor cabinet. (At least the store bought Bailey’s kind.) But can we make our own?
This recipe is a must have in your recipe box, and you will impress your friends with how easily and nonchalantly you make this dish. Honestly for this, the recipe is so loose, and you know I am not a big "by the book person" but I will try my best to make a real recipe that makes sense.
First up on this hot and muggy July day is Minestrone Soup! One of my family's favorites, mainly because of my mom's super Italian genes and anything with pasta and tomatoes in it is going to be a staple in our household. This soup is so versatile because you can really just add any vegetables you have... seriously.
