Sesame Orange Broccoli Slaw

November 13, 2012 by heather Leave a Comment

Sesame Orange Broccoli Slaw

Here we are, running headlong into the holiday season, the season of overindulging. Of heavy comfort food. And guess what? I’ve got a salad recipe for you. Broccoli slaw, to be exact. This is the logic…you need some salad, some roughage, to combat all the rich foods you’ll be tempted with. And sometimes, a salad…

Kung Pao Chicken Tacos

Christy whipped up these scrumptious Kung Pao Chicken Tacos last week and here’s what she had to say: My kids absolutely adored this meal. BJ packed the leftovers up for his lunch at school the next day, and said everyone was jealous. It’s a recipe that seems a little tricky the first time, but I…

Green Curry Chicken Soup

Green Curry Chicken Soup

I LOVE Thai Food. Unfortunately, it does not love my muffin top (or maybe loves it too much, it likes to hang out there, set up camp, chill). Thai food can be SUPER unhealthy. Lots of high fat ingredients, lots of frying. Lots of rice. One of my very favorite dishes is green curry. Coconut…

Crispy Edamame – Two Ways

Crispy Edamame – Two Ways

I love edamame. My kids love edamame. Usually, I just boil it up with a little salt and call it good. But I ran across another idea the other day and had to try it – crispy edamame, baked in the oven. Being totally indecisive, I went ahead and tried it with two different spice…

Grilled Thai Beef Salad

Grilled Thai Beef Salad

I made this grilled Thai beef salad for the first time a few years ago, almost to the day.  I remember, because it was during this crazy heat wave – it actually got up to 100 degrees here, which is basically like the Apocolypse in the Pacific Northwest.  You couldn’t buy a fan anywhere.  Or a kiddie…

PB2 Slow Cooker Thai Chicken

Have you ever heard of PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter? No? Don’t worry, it’s not too well known, and although I’d heard a little about it, I didn’t pay it much attention. I mean, the claims are that this powdered peanut butter concoction, with only 45 calories per serving, was……like……I dunno….peanut butter. Pshaw! So one day…

Easy Mongolian Beef

Living in the thriving metropolis of Leakey, Texas (population 424), I don’t get a chance to dine on Asian food like Mongolian Beef often. Ever. So if I want it, I’m going to have to learn to cook it myself, and this dish is definitely a keeper. Pretty easy, extra tasty, kid pleasing, and as…
