Cooking

It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is FISH FILLETS w/SHRIMP SAUCE!

I don’t have nearly enough fish recipes now that I’m looking for healthier dinner options but I do have a few to share. This is a wonderful, flavorful way to cook something quick and different. Very tasty!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I was never much for huge pepper flavors until I had a peppercorn steak at my favorite German restaurant when I was a teenager. I loved it so much I’d order it every time we went there. Alas, they closed down and I was forced to find a close facsimile of the flavors. This recipe isn’t exactly like the steak I remember but it makes my taste buds happy when I’m craving peppercorn steak. 

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I don’t know about you but I make a lot of soups during the winter months. It’s great comfort food when you’re fighting off the cold and so easy to throw together in one pot. I have been known to make chicken noodle soup completely from scratch but, sometimes, it’s great to do a quickie version. That is the version I wanted to share with you today.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

Today’s recipe is something you can make quickly for your guests, a taste of the sea and a nice complement to other party dishes.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I love the fall because I can pull out some of my recipes I only seem to make in cooler weather. If I can toss it into a crockpot and leave it? Even better! Everyone has their favorite pot roast dinner. But, if you want to try a new variation, you might like to try this “Italiano” version. It goes great with mashed potatoes or noodles.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I’ve always loved Mounds (and Almond Joy) candy bars so it’s only fitting I also have a wonderful coconut cookie recipe. Making these cookies is a breeze and the end result is scrumptious! Add chocolate and/or almonds and you can recreate the candy bar flavors. A three-in-one cookie recipe!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

Cauliflower is so good alone. Pouring cheese over it is even better. But, au gratin?! This is so tasty, you could make an entire meal out of it. I know I have!

I love popcorn balls, especially if they’re made with the deep flavor of molasses. These are a special treat you can enjoy anytime. No need to wait until Halloween. Give those youngsters going on summer break something fun to eat. With supervision, they might even form the balls for you!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
