Mongolian Beef I LOVE P.F. Changs but it can be a little pricy for what you actually get. I have been making this recipe for YEARS now and I always get rave reviews. Most people who have it say they actually like it MORE than P.F. Changs. You can make this dish for the entire family for the same price as one of these as a menu item! Ingredients 4 tsp. vegetable oil 2 tsp. ginger, minced 2 Tbsp. garlic, minced 1 c. soy sauce 1 c. water 1 c. brown sugar (packed) 2 c. vegetable oil 2 Lb. flank steaks ½ c. cornstarch 3 large green onions Instructions Make the sauce by heating 4 tsp. vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat. Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Pie Nutter Butter- Peanut Butter Pie If you hadn’t heard already, our food blogging friend Jennie lost her husband Mikey last week. It was a sudden and unexpected loss. The kind of loss that is unfair in every way. So here’s my Peanut Butter Pie, my tribute to Mikey and love to Jennie and her family, that I was able to share with my own family. I went with a Nutter Butter crust. If you’re not familiar with Nutter Butters- they’re pretty much just like an Oreo… with peanut butter cookie and peanut butter cream filling. As much as we love Nutter Butters, they had to be smashed into bits for the crust. This is a no-bake, perfect-for-summer kind of pie. A nice layer of hot fudge is then spooned on top. Then it’s topped with the peanut butter cream filling… …and smoothed on top. This was a rather emotional pie-making day. Drizzling slices of pie with more hot fudge just seemed like the right thing to do. Thank you, Jennie, for reminding us how important it is to spend time with family.

But I live in Georgia……and apparently, peaches are in season year round here. Ha. But I was at the grocery store this past weekend and came across a whole pile of locally grown peaches…..all plump and full of color. You see, I have a thing for perfect peaches. They must have plenty of peach-y aroma, be soft yet firm, have minimal fuzz, and offer a good amount of juice. But if I bite into it and my mouth is offended by any of that meal-y/grainy texture….forget it, I’m through. I guess growing up on a 10 acre plot of land in southern AZ, with a little mini orchard off to one side, doesn’t help the peach snobbery. I remember back in that memory of mine, that some years we had plenty of fruit to eat, can, and share with the neighbors. Ah, those were the years. Back to the present. And one of my favorite things that my mom would use those peaches for… Peach pie. Then I let it chill in the fridge for a while.
Chickpea Soup with Crispy Kale user reviews made it? RATE IT! by Bensonbumpkin, 3/11/2013Was drawn to the recipe because of the chickpeas but will stay with it as a nice hearty alternative to tomato soup. I loved the rosemary. Used a couple of very ripe tomatoes I had on hand instead of the canned and the result was a fresh, tasty and satisfying soup. I did use chicken broth for mine. by kpouncey1, 10/6/2012Easy and hearty. by capsaiCyn, 6/19/2012Easy and delicious and healthy besides? by Almonte, 3/24/2012Just made this soup and I think it is wonderful - very tasty, even without he kale. by Lilia37, 3/13/2012Here's a soup I'd make again, but probably not in "regular rotation"/ crave it enough to give it a 5-star rating.
