The Reluctant Weight Watchers Foodie | Recipe Index. P.F. Chang's Lettuce Wraps Recipe. P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps copycat recipe tastes just like the real thing – but is a whole lot healthier! So I failed to tell you the entire culinary story of Ben’s and my Vegas Vacation… Our first night there, feeling brave after a rather large can of Sapporo, we each dove face first into a Pinks Hotdog, whose newly opened location was strategically placed right outside our hotel. A Classic Dog for him, and a Rueben Dog for her.
I know. Whatever. The other meal I failed to mention took place late one night after returning home from sipping cocktails and shooting craps at the casinos. Bring on the chain restaurant – and the Lettuce Wraps – whee! P.F.Chang’s Lettuce Wraps – I am telling you – salty, greasy, PERFECT. That’s why I decided to recreate. P.F. Print this recipe! Serves 2-3 Directions: 1. 2. 3 Add green onions and water chestnuts into the skillet then cook for 1-2 minutes until the onions are soft and the water chestnuts are heated through. 4. I die. Roll, and chomp. Fridays.
Salad ideas. Whipped cream cheese frosting. Moist Red Velvet Cake topped with whipped Cream Cheese Frosting. Every recipe has a story. I’m learning this truth as I create in my kitchen and write recipes. Even a brand-new recipe has a story to tell…the things that didn’t work, the layers that fell apart before you could assemble them, the smiles when you served it, the 1st taste of an experiment. This recipe has a story. My manager at work, Joe, grew up in a small town in southern Indiana and his Aunt Doris was known as the best baker in town. When I heard this story, the 1st words out of my mouth were— “I simply MUST have that recipe Joe!” I would consider getting in a fight for this cake. The original recipe is called “Waldorf Astoria Cake” and here is how you make it: 2 c. flour1/2 c. shortening1 1/2 c. granulated sugar2 eggs1 oz. red food coloring ( I didn’t add enough– your cake should be REALLY red- it is a lot of food coloring!!!!)
Cream together softened cream cheese and about half of the powdered sugar. Enjoy! Like this: Julie's Easy (Dutch) Apple Pie - redheadcandecorate.com. Before you read any further…I wanted to let you know that this recipe earned me the first ever “Iron Chef Mom” title! Happy Fall to you and your family! Fall is such a beautiful time of year in Michigan. Every September my husband and I take our girls apple picking. This year was no exception, although when we arrived at the orchard, there were signs that warned us of the shortage this year due to the drought.
We didn’t let they stop us. Apple picking is a great way to spend some quality time together. One more thing…this is a “Dutch Apple Pie”…I have always preferred the crumbled topping rather than another crust on top. Crust: 1/2 cup canola oil 1/4 cup skim milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour Filling: 7-8 tart apples pealed and sliced (I used Granny Smith & Empire for this pie) 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest (a key ingredient) 1 teaspoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons flour 3/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon dash of salt (most recipes call for nutmeg…I purposely leave it out) Fast and Easy Pancakes Recipe.
Peanut Butter Pancakes. When I was growing up my Dad would hold “Pancake Parties”. One night a week, after supper, he would mix up some pancake batter and fire up the griddle. His idea was to make a week’s worth of pancakes so that each morning he could have them for breakfast. I clearly remember helping him with this. Sitting in our small kitchen, talking about everything and nothing, M*A*S*H on our kitchen’s little b&w TV, filling the background. Now, with kids of my own, I see the importance of doing things that brings you together, something as easy as making pancakes that can give you the time with your child(ren) to talk about everything and nothing.
Cooking is a great way to do this and most of the time kids love to help in the kitchen. These pancakes are delicious. The batter to these pancakes is thicker than the usual, but the pancakes still manage to come out fluffy and light.

Copycat Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets! Chick-Fuh-Lay Nuggets & Sauce are addicting!
I hate Sunday’s. Not because it’s the last day of the weekend. But because I seem to crave Chick-Fil-A only on Sunday’s and I can’t fulfill that craving because they’re CLOSED. I’ve fixed that problem and I probably solved everyone’s problem too. Let’s go swimming! My favorite sauce, ever at the Chick-Fil-a. I didn’t want some lawsuit against me so I didn’t title this post appropriately with the real restaurant’s name, you get the point though, right? Seriously, I’m addicted to this place and it’s such a bad habit. Are you hungry yet? Go make these now and every Sunday, you’ll think of me and thank me :) and so will your neighbors.
I should also point out: this isn’t Chick-Fil-A’s secret recipe.

Coconut Shrimp Curry. Hot pretzels with sweet mustard and cheese sauce « Just Baked. Who doesn’t love baby showers? I was so excited when I was asked to contribute to a virtual baby shower for Jessica of The Jey of Cooking. There will be no pink in this shower to honor the arrival of her baby girl due this October. Nope. Jess is a huge Cub fan and so it only follows that her baby girl will be one too. Instead, this shower will be filled with baseball park themed foods- hot dogs, pretzels, candy corn, and all the other yummy foods you happily stuff your face with while enjoying a game at Wrigley Field. Jess is one of the few bloggers that I have been lucky enough to meet in person and call my friend. To me, a ballgame just isn’t one without 2 things, a Vienna hot dog and a hot pretzel. So, I chose to make hot pretzels for Jess’s baseball themed shower. Homemade soft pretzels Yield: 8 big fat pretzels 1 1/2 cups warm (110 to 115 degrees F) water Measure with a thermometer 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 package active dry yeast 2 ounces unsalted butter, melted.
KUNG PAO CHICKEN ON GLASS NOODLES. I love Kung Pao chicken and the exciting buzz it gives when eating it. Kung pao chicken is a classic Szechuan dish of chicken and peanuts in a fiery hot sauce spiked with Szechuan peppercorns and dried chillies. It is that double hit of peppers that make this dish so exciting. The Szechuan peppercorns has a citrusy flavour and a numbing effect in the mouth. The dried chillies has a hint of smokiness and distinct chilli flavour and heat. I'm glad to say that my thoughts were right and the result was more satisfying than eating it with rice. You'll also be glad to know that the whole dish takes only a few minutes to prepare. All rights reserved ©Adora's Box Copyright 2011. Cornmeal Tortillas - Corn Tortillas. 3/4 cup cornmeal1-1/4 cups flour1 teaspoon salt2 tablespoons vegetable shortening or oil1 cup boiling waterWaxed paper In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour and salt.
Stir it up while the water is coming to a boil. Use a metal measuring cup to measure the water, if possible. Plastic melts, and glass sometimes shatters, so a metal measuring cup is the safest type when you measure boiling water. To continue, place the shortening in the bowl with the cornmeal and flour. I usually roll out two tortillas at a time, and continue rolling as the prepared ones cook. This recipe is not really authentic. Here is another delicious and international bread recipe – homemamde crepes.
No Bake Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie. September 4, 2012 I’ve spent some time trying not to bake, but I still love cookies. The best cookies, of course, are made with love. Other than love, you can add things like butter, sugar, and chocolate to make them taste great or you can go with a challenge. How about pumpkin, oats, and raisins? These might not be met with the same enthusiasm as a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie, but they can satisfy that “I NEED a cookie” impulse that goes with your afternoon coffee. I will be honest with you, my children were a bit unhappy with these. Ah well. In retrospect, I should have added some mini chocolate chips for them instead of the raisins to convince them that these were a treat.
I find these to be like a combination of pumpkin pie and an oatmeal raisin cookie. This recipe uses quick oats. I used canned pumpkin which you can find in the baking section. Does anyone have ideas for what you could do with the rest of the can? Print 1K+ No Bake Pumpkin, Raisin, Oatmeal Cookie Recipe (makes 12) Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie. Day 16 – gluten and…uh…gluten-free. I sorta had a little dairy indiscretion the other day. I really like dairy. So much harder to give up than gluten. Well, I suppose that’s just my opinion, but I really like butter, and cream cheese, and butter. Yup, you heard me. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

P.S. Stumble. Simply Scratch. Culinary Adventures in the Kitchen: Delicious Culinary Coexistence. Runs With Spatulas: Recipe Index. A Nifty Cooking Tip From Jamie Oliver. Photo: Kemp Minifie Succulent nuggets of eggplant are the key to a good Pasta alla Norma, the iconic Sicilian dish that, while it consists of only four main ingredients—pasta, tomato sauce, eggplant, and ricotta salata cheese—manages to taste far more complex than the sum of its parts. The classic way to deal with the eggplant is to cut it into cubes and fry it.
Some authorities salt it first to draw out any bitterness, but plenty of others don’t. My job was to streamline a recipe for Gourmet Easy Dinners , available on newsstands June 12, so salting was out. So was frying: It turns the cubes into little sponges of oil. Luckily, I stumbled upon Jamie Oliver’s recipe for Pasta alla Norma in Jamie’s Italy . What about the pile of eggplant innards left hanging out on the cutting board?
Creativity in the Kitchen @ Hardwood Artisans. Mark loves gardening. He loves everything about it, from tilling the land with his huge tractor (“It’s a tractor, not a lawn mower!”) To kneeling down on the moist earth to sample vegetables that he does not recall planting (“And it was the hottest pepper—EVER—and then I accidentally wiped the sweat out of my eyes and MAN did that sting!”).
Like most successful gardeners, when Mark’s garden is in bloom, it produces much more food than his wife, Erika, can prepare. As a result, Mark totes baskets full of home-grown produce to work each week and surprises someone with a bounty of fresh fruits and veggies, typically featuring cucumbers, hot peppers and heirloom tomatoes prominently. This week was my week, and though my boyfriend had painstakingly planned a week of meals designed to use up all of the odds and ends in our pantry, when life gives you cucumbers, well… you get the idea. Savory Cucumber Muffins with Spicy Peanut Butter Frosting Cucumber Muffins 3 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil ¼ cup milk i. Chronicles of a Frugal Gardener: Cucumber Bread recipe. From what I'm reading on other blog posts, no one is having an overload of cucumbers this year. ;) Well just in case you may have one or two stragglers and are looking for something other than making pickles, here is a recipe for Cucumber Bread that I received today. Thank you Ms.
MD, supplier of the Inexpensive dishwasher detergent recipe for this recipe as well. She is full of great ideas. Cucumber Bread recipe 3 eggs 2 cups sugar 2 cups grated, seeded, peeled cucumbers 1 cup vegetable oil 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 cups all purpose flour 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking powder In a bowl, beat eggs.
Beat in sugar, cucumbers, oil and vanilla until well blended. She said that her kids absolutely loved it and it is similar to zucchini bread. Enjoy!
