Let’s get cookin’!
I served this favorite stir-fry dish for dinner last night, and decided to repost it for those who never saw my post from 2019. I’ve expanded on the original source which was Beef with Snow Peas in Oyster Sauce, a recipe given to me by my sister many years ago when she and a friend…
My effort to use up a lot of odds and ends of vegetables in my refrigerator this week resulted in this Vegetable Stir-Fry with Pineapple dish we enjoyed for dinner a few evenings ago. Among the vegetables I combined were …baby bok choy, sugar snaps, red, orange and yellow mini peppers, carrots, celery, fresh corn…
This Lemon Chicken with Green Bean Stir Fry is a delicious one skillet quick dish made with simple ingredients, most of which you may have on hand. The original recipe is one from Martha Stewart. I added some store-bought candied pecans from my freezer for some added crunch, and a bit of sweetness. To the…
This amazing one-pan meal in a bowl comes from the New York Times Online Cooking column. The minute I saw it I thought what a great change this is from all the grilling, yet still a delicious summer dish including the fresh corn, tomatoes, and scallions available now at the markets. I usually have a…
It appears I’m on a stir-fry binge since this post follows on the tail of my Szechwan Chicken with Walnuts . Stir-frying is a really great dinner option for several reasons. Whatever protein you are using, be it beef, chicken, pork or seafood you will use less than if serving the same single protein as…
This Szechwan Chicken with Walnuts is a favorite of our family for years. I found the recipe in The Chicago Tribune Food Guide long ago. We spent 15 years living in the Chicago area from 1973 until 1988. It is a great city with much to offer. We enjoyed our time there, but I can’t…
I have not cooked with curry much at all. It could have something to do with the fact my husband is not a fan. However, I decided this Shrimp in Yellow Curry you see above was worth a try to see if I can change his mind. I have ordered a similar dish I really…
It’s been awhile. My husband and I have been back east for two weeks visiting family and friends on a long overdue trip, and it was so great to see everyone. With stops in PA, DC, VA, and MD it was quite a busy couple of weeks, and especially nice to be back in the…
Finally getting around to posting these delicious Sticky Baked Chicken Wings I made for the Super Bowl this year. The recipe was in the January 2017 issue of Food and Wine magazine. If you don’t want them too spicy you can decrease the amount of the Korean red pepper paste, or eliminate it altogether and…
Homemade Chinese Almond Cookies! The perfect ending to a dinner of the Garlic Chicken Stir Fry I recently posted, Stir-Fried Shrimp with Veggies and Ginger, or how about the Chicken Stir Fry with Veggies and Cashews… or don’t wait for dinner at all and have a few with a cup of tea. This recipe is one…
