15 Basic Stir Fry Sauce Recipes I love a good stir fry and they are a great way to use up odds and ends of meat, vegetable and noodles. And let’s face it, they are a quick and easy dinner solution. Simply cook up some rice or throw in some noodles and it’s a family-pleasing meal. I rarely start with a recipe – just a pile of odds and ends. So it occurred to me recently that what I really needed was a stir-fry sauce “cheat sheet” – a handy reference for the combination of sauce ingredients I need to make different kinds of stir fry to combine with my collection of ingredients. Here I’ve collected 15 great stir-fry sauce recipes that can be printed to keep handy in the kitchen (or bookmarked, if you prefer). Instructions for all of these recipes … just combine the ingredients in a small bowl, stir well to combine, then add to your stir fry. Lemon Stir-Fry Sauce – Great with seafood stir fries, such as shrimp and/or scallops, as well as chicken. Lemon Stir-Fry Sauce II – nice with chicken and seafood. Tips: Tips:

pumpkin cookies w/ cream cheese icing Pumpkin cookies with cream cheese icing Yes, they are as good as they look! I have to say before I take all the credit and give a tutorial on these cookies, that the cookie recipe was given to me by my friend Jenny H. (not Hepworth ;)) and the cream cheese icing I found on a recipe site. I did do a little tweaking to the recipe though, so I guess I can partly claim it as my own. Here’s how to make these delicious Pumpkin Cookies with cream cheese icing. (I’ll re-post the full recipe at the bottom of this post for easier copying & printing) Measure out 1 Cup of Shortening… (This post is not sponsored by Pamered Chef or Crisco. …and 3 Cups Sugar. Combine them together in a mixing bowl and mix. Mix in 2 eggs Do you like my attempt at taking a picture of an egg cracking? Add 1 large can of pumpkin (30 ounces). Apparently we’re in a canned pumpkin shortage right now (??) ** edited to add: Captain Oblivious here (ME!) I’m DYING laughing right now at how oblivious I am sometimes. Now add 1 tsp. vanilla
Pannukakku (crêpes au four) Je vous ai écrit dans le billet précédent que la cuisine finlandaise se caractérise par une utilisation immodérée du four, y-compris une technique très particulière qui consiste à utiliser la lèchefrite comme moule à gâteau. Voici encore un excellent exemple de cette habitude : les Finlandais vont jusqu'à faire cuire leur crêpes de cette façon ! Avant de commencer, je l'admets tout de suite : ce plat n'est pas vraiment une "crêpe", affirmer le contraire risquerait de me mettre toute la Bretagne sur le dos. C'est plutôt un espèce de gâteau dense et fin, dont le goût dépendra surtout de la garniture que vous choisirez. Si je me permets cette traduction, c'est d'une part parce que c'est bien la traduction littérale (pannukakku = pancakes = crêpes), même si le mot se décortique en "pannu" (poêle) et kakku (gâteau), ce qui correspondrait mieux à nos crêpes cuites à la poêle. Alors quel est l'intérêt de cuire notre crêpe au four ? 1. 2. 3. 4.
Stacy Stowers There’s a very good reason why it’s called the Happy Shake! Though this creamy blend tastes like a delicious dessert, it’s chock-full of spinach, berries and super happy foods, like raw chocolate and maca. The Happy Shake is a meal replacement. It’s a key place to start when trying to lose excess weight, increase energy levels, and get healthier and happier. Before you get started, keep in mind the Happy Shake is more about technique than anything else. You can take these same ingredients, throw them into a blender and get a glass full of lawn clippings. ingredients: 1/2 cup water 3-4 cups spinach 1 Tbs. coconut oil 1 Tbs. raw maca powder 2 Tbs. raw cacao powder 1 cup FROZEN blueberries 3/4 cup FROZEN cherries 1/4 cup FROZEN banana Optional: a little raw honey for those who like extra sweetness Optional: 3 ice cubes or a small handful of ice for those hot humid days In your Vitamix or blender start with: 1. 2. 3. I have to say, in my experience, I have never met a bad egg. 4 . 5. 6. 7.
Pumpkin Lust Cake You guys. This pumpkin lust cake is like the new pumpkin pie. At least it will be at our Thanksgiving dinner this year. It is so so good! I sent it to work with Brett on Monday for his company Halloween party. But I had to cut a teeny tiny square out of the corner first just so I could try it. I about cried when he showed up at home that night with a big ol’ piece he said he saved just for me. First you need to run and grab some Pumpkin Spice Instant Pudding. Let me lay it out for you.

Homemade Coffee Creamer My friends tell me the one thing they can’t give up is their flavored coffee creamer. I can understand. Creamy, sweet, smooth, with all sorts of different flavors to choose from. So if you’re hooked on store-bought creamer then today’s your day. Next time you have friends over for a gathering, make a few batches of homemade coffee creamer, put them in cute bottles and have a coffee bar. A great alternative to regular coffee is herbal coffee. *Since posting these recipes in September 2010, I have developed a few new recipes: Caramel Coffee Creamer and Honey Vanilla Coffee Creamer, Sugar Free and Dairy Free Coffee Creamer **Teeccino contains barley, so if you need to avoid gluten an organic decaf would be a better option. Homemade Cinnamon Strudel Coffee Creamer I prefer to strain each of the creamers through a fine mesh sieve to prevent any spices floating in my coffee. Whisk together milk, cream, maple syrup and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
