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 [...]

Published by January 13th, 2009 in 4 Stars, Asian, Beef, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, Entertaining, Family Recipe, Indian and One Pot. ClosedNot a great picture, but are there really any good pictures of Indian curry dishes? Despite the picture, this is an excellent Indian inspired crock pot beef curry. I don’t say this often, especially with regards to a crock pot meal, but this dish is company worthy…especially if the company loves a deliciously spicy (or [...]
Tofu Teriyaki
Published by September 24th, 2008 in 5 Stars, Asian, Beef, Easy Preparation, Entertaining, Family Recipe, Heart Healthy, Poultry, Sauce and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsIt seems as though I’m on a tofu kick lately. The “skillet dry fry” as I call it is my favorite way to prepare tofu. But tonight I baked it in the oven. Baking is definitely easier and far less time consuming, but I like the “skillet dry fry” method the best. Bottom line is [...]
Tofu, Potato, and Pea Curry
Published by September 15th, 2008 in 4 Stars, Asian, Family Recipe, Heart Healthy and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsTofu isn’t -s’s favorite, but he does like (read will eat) tofu at Thai restaurants. Tofu at restaurants has a much denser texture, and I finally figured out how to cook it like that at home. The key is getting all the water out before you cook it. I started pan frying the tofu in [...]
Bulgogi
Published by September 3rd, 2008 in 5 Stars, Asian, Beef, Easy Preparation, Martha Stewart, Poultry and Sauce. 0 CommentsI love Bulgogi. It just tastes so darn good! I found this recipe in Great Food Fast (shocking, I know!), and changed it slightly. You can serve this Bulgogi in lettuce wraps or over rice. It’s delicious both ways. You can also substitute chicken for the beef, which I bet is equally delicious! The sauce [...]
Tofu Pad Thai
Published by September 2nd, 2008 in 4 Stars, Asian, Family Recipe, Martha Stewart and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsI really like Pad Thai. I really like Thai food in general. I came across a shrimp Pad Thai recipe in Great Food Fast (if you haven’t already guessed, it’s my current favorite cookbook!), and I adapted that recipe for tofu in lieu of the shrimp. It was tasty, and the leftovers were even better! [...]
Vietnamese Steak Sandwiches
Published by August 21st, 2008 in 4 Stars, Asian, Beef, Easy Preparation, Quick and Easy, Sandwich and Sauce. 0 CommentsWhat is one to do with left over flank steak with lime marinade? Why turn the page of Great Food Fast, and there it is…Vietnamese Steak Sandwiches. The only thing I would do differently next time is make more of the sauce, because the sandwich was a bit dry with the sauce amount in the [...]
Flank Steak with Lime Marinade
Published by August 19th, 2008 in 5 Stars, Asian, Easy Preparation, Entertaining, Family Recipe, Grill, Kid Approved and Martha Stewart. 0 CommentsI adapted this recipe from a recipe in Great Food Fast. I have found the longer you marinate flank steak the better it tastes. (The second time I made this I marinated it for 8 hours, and it was absolutely delicious). I’m sure the steak would still be delicious if you marinate it for the [...]
Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Chicken
Published by August 3rd, 2008 in 3 Stars, Asian, Crock Pot, Heart Healthy, Kid Approved and Poultry. 0 CommentsI had some red peppers that needed to get used up, and it was a Thursday, so I needed a crock pot dinner. The recipe below is my version of a recipe I came across. It was pretty good, and one that I will make again when we are in need of a tasty crock [...]
Crockpot Thai Red Curry
Published by July 12th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Asian, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, One Pot, Poultry and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsI found this recipe at A Year of CrockPotting. The Crockpot Lady got it from Rachael Ray. I thought this dish tasted really good, and it was really good the next day for lunch. It had really great flavor, and since I think so many crockpot recipes are light in flavor, I was really pleased [...]
