General Tso’s Chicken and Broccoli

May 9, 2013 by KateS

In college, the dining hall had a made-to-order station featuring a different dish ever night. General Tso’s nights were one of my favorites – you could pick your protein, vegetables and type of rice for a customizable dinner. I always got chicken and broccoli with brown rice. When I moved off campus, it was one of the few things I missed about the dining hall.

I quickly learned to recreate it at home and it’s been one of our go-to dinners on busy nights since – it’s on the table in about twenty minutes. It’s also a really flexible recipe. Broccoli not your thing? You can sub in snap peas, green beans or another vegetable. Small meatballs or pork can be subbed for the chicken.

If you’re going for the classic, though, here’s what you’ll need. [Read more...]

Teriyaki Pork Chops with Red Pepper and Pineapple in the Slow Cooker

April 24, 2013 by Tiffany

I love any recipe that only takes a couple of minutes to put in the crockpot. This one is a bit of a different take on boneless pork chops.

It makes use of store-bought teriyaki glaze/sauce. The peppers and pineapple get added at the end of the cooking time, while the rice is cooking. That helps keep them from overcooking.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Thai Chili Chicken Egg Rolls

January 25, 2013 by KateS

Is anyone else excited about the Super Bowl? Even though my beloved Giants didn’t even make the playoffs, I’m looking forward to the big game. It’s so fun to get caught up in the hype, watch the commercials and spend the night eating finger foods in front of the TV!

Egg rolls are always one of my go-to dishes for football game watching. People are always impressed, but they’re actually really easy to make yourself. (And, who doesn’t love dipping things?!) These are also baked, not fried, so I feel better about indulging in them.

I’m not going lie – my first few rolls always come out a little lumpy or ripped. That’s part of the reason double-wrapping them is great – it also helps make them crunchy without the frying. They do get easier as you go, though, I promise!

These are also super freezer-friendly. After you have them assembled, put them on a baking sheet and pop them into the freezer for 2-3 hours, until firm, and then transfer them to a zipper-lock freezer bag. When you’re ready to cook them, use the same baking instructions and just add a few minutes to the cook time.

Thai Chili Chicken Egg Rolls

Ingredients

1 T. olive oil
4 1/2 c. cole slaw mix (or, shredded cabbage and carrots)
3 c. cooked, shredded chicken breast
1 1/2 c. bean sprouts
2/3 c. Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, plus more for serving
24 Egg roll wrappers
Cooking spray

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat 1 T. olive oil until shimmering. Add cabbage and cover. Cook until wilted, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and cook until heated through, about two minutes. Stir in bean sprouts and sweet chili sauce and toss to coat. Set aside until cooled enough to handle.
Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
Add 2-3 T. of the mixture onto the center of an egg roll wrapper. Fold in two opposite corners, then a third corner over. Roll towards the fourth corner, sealing it off. Place the roll onto another wrapper and wrap again. Repeat with remaining mixture and wrappers.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the egg rolls, seem-side down, on the baking sheet. Spray tops with cooking spray.
Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown, turning halfway through.

3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Beef Teriyaki with Pineapple

November 15, 2012 by Tiffany

This has everything I love in a meal:

It’s simple to fix. I’m pretty sure even the slowest cook could get this started in about 2.3 minutes.

There are only a few ingredients.

Everyone loved it!

In my book, that makes a nearly perfect weeknight meal. The only downside (and it isn’t much of a downside) is that you’ll still need to fix a veggie and make the rice right before dinner. Since those are both easy tasks, it’s no problem.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Chicken and Broccoli “Stir Fry” in the Slow Cooker

December 9, 2011 by Tiffany

Stir fry is a cooking method that can’t really be replicated in a slow cooker.

But you can make a pretty good fake!

I’ve made this recipe twice now. It’s easy and quick to fix. The chicken gets cooked in stir fry sauce for several hours. The veggies are added later, so they don’t get mushy.

No ingredient photo this time. I was in a big hurry both times I’ve made it. [Read more...]

Kung Pao Chicken

July 17, 2011 by Tiffany

Let me say, that when I decided to make this I had no idea what really goes in Kung Pao Chicken. I just saw a bottle of the sauce in Walmart and bought it. The rest was decided by what I had on hand.

The result turned out delicious. The Kung Pao sauce had just enough spice to lend and interesting kick. I used chicken that I had already grilled, sliced and frozen, so it was quick to make.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Ham and Pineapple Fried Rice

January 20, 2011 by Tiffany

My ears perked up when I heard someone mention a fried rice dish that involved ham and pineapple. Any recipe that involves cubed ham gets my attention right now, since I have so much in the freezer.

My family likes the ham/pineapple combo in recipes, but I admit that this sounded a little strange. But I was wrong. The fried rice was full of flavor and we licked the platter clean. No leftovers to fight over.

I based the recipe on Vietnam Fried Rice, but I used pineapple juice in addition to the soy sauce to season and flavor the dish. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Chicken, Broccoli and Red Pepper Stir Fry (and 2 Tips to Fixing Any Stir Fry Fast)

December 10, 2010 by Tiffany

Stir fry is one of the simplest things to make. Providing you have a good knife to do the chopping. That’s the first tip for making it fast. You can’t be quick with a dull knife. (The Rada Cutlery giveaway is still open, in case you’re in need of a sharp knife.)

Colorful veggies and lean chicken make this a healthy dinner. It’s one of my kids’ favorites. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Asian Salmon on the Grill

May 13, 2010 by Tiffany

Dinner time was creeping up on me and I had no plan. Only four of us would be home on that night. Usually, when Jim is gone we have pancakes but that didn’t sound good. I wanted something fast and easy, but different. Inspiration came from one bag of salmon fillets in the freezer, which isn’t enough for 6 of us, but perfect for 4. When I spied the bottle of sesame seed oil in the pantry, I knew I was on to something good.

I decided to grill the salmon in foil packets with a simple, flavorful sauce made with soy sauce and sesame seed oil.
