All the ingredients are staples so more than likely I will have the ingredients handy. The bad … Read entire article »
Coconut Flavored Pork Stirfry
Because we’ve been enjoying the virgin coconut oil that we received from Tropical Traditions, I have been using it in almost every dish I cooked in the last week or two. This is one dish that was quickly put together on a weeknight and a delicious change from our usual stirfry dish. You can taste and smell the coconut oil but it’s not overpowering. It’s just the right balance to make you think about what that different flavor is. If you’d like to try some virgin coconut oil, make sure you enter the Virgin Coconut Oil Giveaway on my review blog, Found Not Lost. … Read entire article »

Chicken Asparagus Stirfry
Cooked up By Jade I’ve been asking Jade to finish blogging about this dish but she has been really busy with school and with Facebook her after school activities that she just hasn’t had the time and I was too eager to show off her cooking. Can you believe she cooked this up by herself one weeknight when she wanted to save me from having to cook when I got home from work? I think she did an awesome job!

Spicy Beef Stirfry with Basil
A quick and easy dinner like a stirfry is the working mom’s savior. I work five days a week and don’t usually get home until six o’clock in the evening. Some nights, when their homework isn’t too much, the girls would cook dinner or at least get it started for me. But most nights, especially on days when I have been more disorganized than usual, I may not even have a meat defrosted to cook. This is when it helps when you have smaller chunks of meat that can quickly defrost in the microwave. This beef strifry is a weekday fare just because round roasts are so readily available and easily defrosted. I keep one or two roasts in the freezer for quick weekday stirfries. This is one of them. The most … Read entire article »

Chicken and Mushrooms in Spicy Oyster Sauce
This was another happy accident that came about when I couldn’t decide what to make for dinner, didn’t feel like looking for a recipe to try, and was just plain tired of the usual fried and baked dishes. I had some of the boneless and skinless chicken thighs in the freezer so I decided to simply stir fry them with some chinese broccoli. However, as I started chopping the ingredients, I changed my mind midway and decided to cook them as separate dishes. The broccoli, I simply pan friend with olive oil and garlic. For the chicken, here’s what I did. INGREDIENTS:3 packs of boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 15 thighs)1 large onion, sliced1 cup of dried Shiitake mushrooms (soaked in hot water)1/4 cup diced red bell peppers1 hot chili pepper, … Read entire article »
