Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
Ok so who doesn't love a good, greasy pizza every once in awhile? I know we definitely do. I originally found this recipe on Pinterest and followed it to this site. The recipe is suuuuuuuuuper easy and extremely tasty. The first time I made these I bought the wrong biscuits and we decided to add more pepperonis, but other than that I kept the recipe the same. I tried this to see if Isaac would eat these for lunch and sure enough he enjoyed them. They also reheat really easily and still taste just as good. I think this would make a great lunch or snack for kids and of course grown ups!

Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos
So I came across this really awesome site called onceamonthmom.com. I can't remember if I came across it on Pinterest or just through a Google search. Anyways this site is really dedicated to freezer cooking and making practically an entire month's worth of food in one big cooking day. I was interested in trying it out, but my husband and I like our food to taste fresh. We don't even like to eat leftovers. I still check the site out because most of their recipes you can still use, but just skip the whole freezing part. Well I came across this recipe and I knew I could use it and skip the freezing part. This has now become a favorite of my hubby's and mine. Ok so here's how you make these tasty Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos!

Chicken & Vegetable Stir-Fry
Yuuuummmmmmmmm! Chinese foooood! My husband is from Mexicali, Mexico where there is some amazing Chinese food. It's weird, but it's sooo true. We actually crave that Chinese food quite often. Anyways, I found this recipe and for us it's good. Trust me it does not compare to the Chinese food in Mexicali, but it's still tasty and makes a good dinner. I found this recipe here. I only changed what types of vegetables I put in the stir-fry. Ok so here's how to make it!

"Healthy" Baked Mozzarella Sticks
Hi! So I'm back with another recipe. I realized as I was making these that this is pretty similar to my last recipe. Oh well. Anyways, I normally don't make appetizers for us except if we have people over or if I'm taking something to a party. So we had people over last Friday night to watch a movie and hangout. We were planning on having pizza for dinner so I decided to make "Healthy" Baked Mozzarella Sticks. I found this recipe on skinnytaste.com and there are tons of other great recipes! Check it out! Obviously this recipe is a bit much for just two people, but you can always reduce the amounts to make just the right amount for your family.

Breaded Baked Chicken
Yay! It's my first recipe. Ok, so this recipe has seriously become a staple in our household. I have perfected this recipe to at least the flavors that my husband and I enjoy. Trust me it is very rare that I make a recipe for the first time and it comes out REALLY good. It usually takes me a couple times before I get it just right for our tastes. Anyways, I adapted my recipe from a recipe called Baked Chicken Cutlets in this book. The changes I made were pretty much the measurements of the ingredients. So this recipe is a simple breaded chicken recipe except it's baked instead of fried. I usually like to serve this with rice and corn, but you can serve it with whatever your family enjoys the most.

Welcome to Table for Two, please?
Hello! My name is Katrina and I'm happily married to my wonderful husband, Isaac. This October we will have been married for 2 years! The past two years have been wonderful and I can say in a marriage you are always learning new things. A thing I have learned through tons of trial and error is how and what to cook for my husband. He is quite the picky eater and like anybody else loves tons of flavor in his food. I feel I have learned quite a few things and definitely improved my cooking skills (of course there is always room for improvement). Hence, why I am starting this blog.
So why am I starting a food blog?
There are several reasons why I decided to start this blog. One is that I LOOOOVVEE cooking and baking! I grew up with my mother always cooking and baking all the time. She actually has her own cake business. I learned a lot of my techniques by just watching her and cooking with her in the kitchen. Another reason is that I feel that I have information for people that didn't grow up with a mother who was cooking all the time. I feel that almost anyone can cook, but they just need to know a few tricks and have proper instructions.The last reason is because when I'm searching for recipes I usually find ones that are for at least families of four. Well at the time being, it is only my husband and I. In the very distant future, I know this will change, but not right now. Anyways, I'm always having to adapt recipes for just us. I feel I have mastered this and want to offer our favorite recipes that work perfectly for just two people.
What are my goals for this blog?
Ok so I want to be able to offer my tips and tricks I have for cooking. I also want to be able to provide recipes that are made for two, obviously, but of course can easily be made for more. Sometimes I find when I'm looking at recipes, the instructions aren't always clear and sometimes confusing. If I'm confused, then I know for sure people who don't cook very often would be confused as well. I hope to be able to offer very detailed instructions and give step by step pictures to make it even easier. In reality, I just want to share my recipes for the world so they can cook a good meal for their families no matter how small or big.
So pretty much welcome to my blog and I'm super excited to start this up! I'm not sure yet when I'll post again or what it will be about. I haven't figured out a schedule quite yet and I need to see how long it's going to take to put a full recipe post together. If you have any suggestions about what I should post next, let me know in the comments!
