Chinese cuisine is one of our boys favorite takeout meals and yes there are occasions when we will splurge and grab some when we are going to be out late. But when we are at home this Kung Pao Chicken hits the spot. Quick and easy to get on the table when you are in a hurry […]
Honey Hoisin Chicken Sandwiches in the Slow Cooker
May 29, 2013 by 2 Comments
There is one appliance in the kitchen that is often times under used…the Slow Cooker! I know I’m definitely guilty of it. Another thing I am guilty of is not using my Slow Cooker during the Summer months as much as I should, and really it’s probably a better appliance during the hot months than […]
Wild Mushroom Quesadillas

Quesadillas are a favorite in our house, but up until now we have only fixed the traditional chicken or cheese quesadillas. I’m a mushroom lover, so when we spotted this recipe for Wild Mushroom Quesadillas, I thought it would be delicious, a perfect meatless meal and also fit in perfectly with our Mexican Recipes that […]

You know those meals that you wish afterwards had a little more zing. Yes, even we have those occasionally. Well just last week I made an Oriental Noodle Recipe that while it was ok it just wasn’t, how do I put it… Tasty. It was lacking some zing, some zip, some flavor. And talk about […]

Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Making a satisfying meal for a busy family doesn’t need to take the entire evening. I’ve learned over the years that it’s more important to spend what little time we can carve out of our busy schedules with our family. And with Doug still learning the in’s and out’s of cooking (even if he won’t […]

We have been planning to share this General Tso Chicken with you for a couple weeks, but the first batch we made disappeared so fast that we didn’t even have time to take photos for you. So we tripled the batch this time to make sure, and ended up having to take a picture quickly […]

Rice is one of the most budget friendly ingredients you can cook with. Whether you are making an easy side dish or a main dish, it’s quick, easy and taste great too. One of our favorite dinners is Take-Out from our local Chinese Restaurant, but to feed the whole family, it can cost around $35. […]

Need a quick and easy meal with very little clean up? Stir-Fry is the way to go! I have been fixing stir-fry for years now, but had never tried Lo Mein before. Essentially it’s stir-fry with noodles. I first spotted this recipe in a Kraft Food & Family magazine, and was drawn to it with […]
