Easy Fried Rice {No Need for Take Out---Make it yourself!}
Asian food is one of my husband's favorite. We usually eat it twice a month. It can be kind of pricey eating out, so I try to make our favorites at home. Easy Fried Rice is one of the dishes I have started making. It is as simple as it looks at an open grill in the Asian restaurants. Start off with cooked rice and go from there adding what you want. I usually cook the egg first in sesame oil and then add the cooked rice and vegetables. This recipe is a simple and a basic one, but on occasion I dress it up with adding cooked shrimp, chicken, or pork. Delish! This Easy Fried Rice goes well with these other Asian dishes I like to make---- Sweet and Sour Pork, Sesame Noodles , Thai Style Stir Fried Chicken , Sesame Chicken , Pepper Steak, Mandarin Chicken , and Chinese Style Chop Suey . As you can see, Asian food is a favorite around our house! This recipe and others can be seen at these linky parties here !
Jiffy Chili Pie {Simply amazing how easy it is to make this!}
Jiffy Chili Pie , a one pot wonder satisfying the pickiest of eaters. Great use of leftover homemade chili with your favorite cornbread recipe spread across the top. This Jiffy Chili Pie is one of the recipes that I made before Easter that I was not able to get posted. As some of you know from reading my post on Facebook , we had severe storm damage to our house on Easter Sunday! Many of the recipes I made around that time, I didn't get to post. Jiffy Chili Pie is one of the recipes I made on a cold day that we had in March. You are going to be amazed at how easy it is to make. I used some homemade chili I had in the freezer, chopped onions, and a can of green chilies. All of that was sandwiched between two layers of prepared Jiffy Cornbread Mix. You can have a meal on the table in a "jiffy". Just had to say that...he he!
Traditional Stuffed Eggs
Traditional Stuffed Eggs are as old as the hills in the south. The traditional ingredients are mashed egg yolks, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper with a little bit of minced onion and minced pickles. Garnishes are optional. As time has gone on, the ingredients have expounded to the hot and spicy and all kinds of fillers. It is easy to create your own variations. The binder is usually mayonnaise, but sour cream, yogurt, and cream can be used. The fillers should be more in ratio than the mashed egg yolks, and make sure they are minced so they are easy to scoop and fill in the egg white half. To start this recipe, you will need to know how to make the perfect boiled eggs, so head over to my recipe for Shrimp Stuffed Eggs . Have you ever added too much mayonnaise or mustard to your egg yolks, and the filling is too runny? Don't fret; I have a secret to fixing that; add instant potato flakes a tablespoon at a time until the filling thickens. I have also
Easy Crockpot Mandarin Chicken
Easy Crockpot Mandarin Chicken is just what it says Easy! I have been seeing this recipe circling around on Pinterest and knew I had to give it a try. I did make a few changes to our liking. It will definitely be making a regular appearance on our menu rotations. I love the ingredients in this recipe and added a few of my own. I added onions and bell pepper to give it additional color and taste. You could add mandarin oranges or pineapple, but we prefer it with just the vegetables. Either way the flavors explode in your mouth, and you can't stop eating it. I also love the fact that I can make it in a crockpot. I have always cooked most anything in the summer so using the crockpot for me is more out of convenience than anything. The one thing that I most favor about using a crockpot is you don't have to watch the stove when you cook. You can go about doing other things while your meal is simmering away. Yes, the crockpot is a real plus with thi
A Delicious Dessert for July 4th! Easy Strawberry Dessert Pizza
Strawberry Dessert Pizza , strawberries, marshmallow cream cheese filling and refrigerated cookie dough make a delicious summer dessert. I have been admiring a Strawberry Dessert Pizza recipe over at Mommy's Kitchen for some time now. She has a lengthy recipe index of yummy quick and easy desserts that look absolutely delicious. You need to stop by and check them out. I finally got around to making it this past Memorial Day weekend for my grandsons. They enjoyed it so much so that I went to the grocery store and bought enough ingredients to make another one. I didn't have my usual pizza pan to make the Easy Strawberry Dessert Pizza in, so I decided to use my cast iron round griddle. Like Tina, I started off with a package of refrigerated cookie dough for the crust. After the cookie crust baked and was cooling, I made the first layer to the pizza out of a rich, creamy mixture of cream cheese and marshmallow cream. The next layer is a ready
Spaghetti Pie
Spaghetti Pie is a delightful twist on a regular Italian dinner you serve your family. As soon as I saw Lynn's recipe for Spaghetti Pie over at Southern With A Twist , I knew I had to make it. She has a lot of people request her recipe, and for me, that tells me, it is a winner. What drew me to this recipe is the ingredients. They are as simple as mixing eggs, sour cream, mozzarella and parmesan cheese with spaghetti noodles, then spread in the bottom of a casserole dish. An easy meat sauce layered over the noodles, then topped with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. How easy it that? The recipe make a huge casserole--way too much for just my husband and I, so the next time I make it, and I will be making it often, I am dividing it up in two or three pans. This recipe would even be great to serve for a fundraiser meal since it makes such a huge casserole. Love these kind of recipes! My daughter's family came by just as I was taking it out of the ove
