Curried Beef

Published by Rachel February 22nd, 2010 in Asian, Beef, 4 Stars, Cooking Light and Crock Pot. Closed

This crock pot dinner is really tasty, and the leftovers were delicious too.  The recipe comes from the March 2009 issue of Cooking Light. I thought the original recipe called for way too much salt, so I didn’t add the salt, other than to season the beef prior to searing it, and boy am I […]

Chicken and Broccoli Pad Thai

Published by Rachel December 8th, 2009 in Asian, Vegetarian, Quick and Easy, 4 Stars, Easy Preparation and Pasta. Closed

I love Pad Thai, and the nice thing about this dish is that it is quick and easy to make.  It’s certainly a bit more adventurous than my kiddos are willing to try, so I just set aside some of the chicken for them, and they were happy with that.  You could also skip the […]

Sweet Chili-Glazed Tofu

Published by Rachel December 7th, 2009 in Asian, Vegetarian, Quick and Easy, 4 Stars and Easy Preparation. Closed

I picked up the America’s Test Kitchen 30-Minute Suppers magazine at the store, because I am always looking for quick and tasty meals to prepare.  There were a number of recipes that caught my eye, and this tofu dish did not disappoint.  We will certainly make this dish again.

Tofu and Eggplant with Thai Coconut Red Curry Sauce

Published by Rachel August 21st, 2009 in Asian, Vegetarian, 5 Stars, Family Recipe, Entertaining, Easy Preparation and Sauce. Closed

We had some delicious looking eggplant sitting in the fridge that we bought from at the Farmer’s Market.  I just knew it would be delicious in a curry.  So I used my favorite Thai red curry recipe (made a few changes) and planned the dish around the eggplant.  You could easily add chicken or beef, […]

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Published by Rachel March 26th, 2009 in Asian, Poultry, 5 Stars and Sauce. Closed

These are good…so very good!  I really love lettuce wraps.  I’ve made many different recipes, and I think I like this recipe better than Martin Yan’s (gasp!)
I found this recipe at Fashionably Foodie.  I changed up the recipe just a bit (namely I added a lot more ginger…LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ginger!).
-s even ate it with […]

Korean Short Ribs

Published by Rachel March 19th, 2009 in Asian, Beef, One Pot, 4 Stars, Crock Pot, Kid Approved, Entertaining and Easy Preparation. Closed

I found this most delicious recipe at Blisstree.com.  Heather’s photo is soooo much better than mine, but since I loved the dish so much, I didn’t want to wait until I made it again to try taking a better photo.
Not only is this a crock pot dish, but it is company worthy…yes you heard me […]

Sesame Peanut Noodles

Published by Rachel January 13th, 2009 in Asian, Poultry, Vegetarian, 5 Stars, Family Recipe, Entertaining, Easy Preparation, Pasta and Leftover chicken or Turkey. Closed

I wanted to to try something new and Asian, so I looked at my spicy soba noodles recipe, and created a whole new recipe that was delicious!  You can keep this dish vegetarian and add tofu or use leftover chicken and just cook up some chicken.  Either way it will be tasty and satisfying…you’ll want […]
