Oasis Diner... Where they serve Butterscotch Rootbeer Floats!

Oasis Diner

The Best Diner on the Planet

 

 

They serve the "BEST" Butterscotch Root beer floats and Stuffed French Toast in the afternoon!

 

Who doesn't love breakfast in the afternoon? I know I love, love, love it. Especially from a local downhome Diner that has super awesome service.

 

The menu is genius and the atmosphere is to die for.

This little diner brought me back to Mayberry!

 

I haven't seen an authentic Diner since I was on vacation in Julian, Ca. You can't beat a diner that actually serves good food. I mean, is there anything better than a root beer float? The answer to that question is, Yes! It's a butterscotch root beer float. Add a beautiful plate of stuffed French toast and you have the best afternoon breakfast on the planet.

 

 

The French toast was cooked perfectly and they added fresh fruit to the dish as well. When was the last time you had actual "fresh" fruit added to your plate when you ate out?

 

 

The inside was covered in a cream cheese and cinnamon blend and was drizzled with a strawberry sauce. Then to top it off, they added the perfect amount of powder sugar. It was absolutely amazing. The French toast was a crunchy outside and soft on the inside. Just like Grandma used to make...

 

 

Here is my suggestion. If you are in the Plainfield, IN area, please stop by and visit this little super authentic Diner. You will not regret a moment spent with these fantastic folks.

 

 

As Always, Thanks for reading my blog and Happy Eating!

 

 



 



 



Savory Chicken and Sausage Soup

Savory Hearty Chicken Soup

It's Dinner Time

Well, here I am again in the grocery store. I am looking for something to feed the boys and I am at a loss. I see lots of premade meals and I am thinking...NOT tonight! Tonight I am going to take some fresh ingredients and make them a healthy meal.

I ask them, "What do you want for dinner?" I knew the answer was going to be pizza. It's always pizza! Of course I said no and they did their pout face. I walked by the soup isle and said, "Hey, you want some fresh chicken soup for dinner?" 

I got a pretty fair response, so off to the veggies we went. Here is what I decided on.

Chicken and Sausage

Carrots

Celery

Potatoes

Cabbage

Canned Corn

Onions- 1 white and chives

and Chicken Broth

My kitchen in full force. I made every part of this dish separately.

I grilled the potatoes and the chicken. Then in a separate pot, I added the chicken stock and veggies along with some garlic powder, salt and a tablespoon of sour cream.

 I cut up the chicken and sausage and added them to the pot to finish off the dish.
Here is the finished dish.

My favorite part of cooking is plating the dish.

I added a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the top of the soup for taste and presentation.

I think this is more of a stew then a soup. However, the dish was absolutely devine.  It was all cooked as perfect as any soup could be. I find that cooking things separately sometimes makes it easier to have all the ingredients cooked evenly.

Thank you for reading my blog and Have fun with some fresh ingredients tonight!

Happy Eating  :-)

Spice it up! Make ANY weekday dinner a gourmet meal for your family :-)

Spice It Up

With all of the cooking shows on T.V. today, especially Rachel Ray, you can make any meal in less than 30 minutes. I say make any dinner and spice it up in less than 30 minutes. Take plain old spaghetti for instance.

You can do so much...

Anyone who has the mind to make a decent meal, has a mind to make it gourmet with everyday thing bought from your local grocery store. I made this meal with some very simple ingredients.

1 box spaghetti noodles
1 large jar of sauce (any kind you like will do)
2 cans of turkey chili with beans
1 can of Rotel spiced tomatoes
1 bag of Quesadilla cheese
1 canister of sour cream with chives
1 bag of turkey meatballs

Take a plain roll, cut it in half and baste it with butter and Parmesan cheese to ... 

Spice it Up! Bake it until it's light brown. 

There's nothing better than a great meal on a budget. 

Make it a spicy night and Happy Cooking!  :-)

Thanks again for reading my blog.. I blog just for you!

Mini Tuna and Veggie Pot Pies.. It's What's for Dinner!

Comfort Food on a Cold Winter Day

It's about 4 degrees here in the Midwest state of Indiana and the kids are on a 2 hour delay. This morning I was thinking about what to make for dinner.....while I was eating my delicious bowl of bran flakes in almond milk. 

I knew this kids would be hungry soon after homework, so I decided on a hot single serve dish. Mini tuna and vegetable pot pies just might hit the spot. They are easy to make with little ingredients.

This is a mixture of cream of chicken soup, tuna, mixed vegetables and biscuits. 

I made 2 different size mini pot pies. The smaller size for the kids and the larger size for the adults.

This is a pretty basic method. You roll the biscuits out to fit the pan and you press them into the pan. Then scoop the mixture into the sections and cover with another piece of dough. How easy is that! Well.... it may be easy but it's time consuming. It takes about 30 minutes to get these into the oven from start to finish.

The Finished Product

Was well worth the wait...

The crust is a buttery, flaky crust with a wonderful flavor.

The middle of the pie is the perfect compliment with it's warm vegetables covered in delicious thick creamy sauce.

Typically you see chicken in pot pies. I chose to use one can of tuna to give it a more hearty sauce. The tuna is also a great compliment as well especially if you like the taste. I recommend using tuna in oil. It simply has a better flavor in my opinion.

As always, Thanks a Bunch for reading my Blog and Happy Eating!!! :-)
