This recipe was great, I forgot how good grilling broccoli tastes! I didn’t do anything different from the original recipe. There was very little prep, and putting it together was just a matter of timing everything right. Good weekday meal, super fast.

Chengdu-Style Kung Pao Chicken
I managed to get around to cooking a new recipe tonight and it turned out good! Is it the same as the old China Town's Kung Pao? Nope. But it's close, and it was a fairly easy one to pull off. I will say it made a bit of a mess of my skillet, but … Continue reading Chengdu-Style Kung Pao Chicken
Blakely Steak Salad
My sister Blakely made this when we were visiting her one year and it has become a staple at our house. It's not exactly 'healthy', but just keep telling yourself you are eating salad and you'll be OK. Salad haters eat this salad. It has a great oil and vinegar feel to it, but the … Continue reading Blakely Steak Salad
Chinese Pork Chops
We usually butcher one or two pigs a year, and that means we have a lot of pork chops. I tried a bunch of different recipes, but this one stood out. The pork had just the right sweet and sour taste to really be memorable. Make sure you watch the temperature and pull them off … Continue reading Chinese Pork Chops
Sticky Garlic Chicken Bites
This was a fun recipe, but prep was kind of messy. The end result was great, the chicken was very light and crunchy. My big complaint was that the sauce ended up being really concentrated and very salty. Next time I make it, I need to tweak it by removing some of the salt, then … Continue reading Sticky Garlic Chicken Bites
Sesame Chicken
This is a delicious recipe, almost restaurant-quality. It is also VERY messy when cooking. The frying takes a long time, so be prepared. It didn't help that I was making a double recipe. And you're going to get burned. These suckers pop when cooking. If you want to break it up, cut the chicken up … Continue reading Sesame Chicken
Dipping Sauces
This was originally a recipe for potstickers, but that one ended in disaster. I tried to make my own potsticker dough because the HEB doesn't carry them any more. But I failed miserably and ended up cutting up wonton wrappers in a lame attempt at salvaging it all. It sorta worked, but I'm not doing … Continue reading Dipping Sauces
Thai Basil Chicken Bowls
This is one of our favorites, and it is amazingly fast to put together. When you are cooking it, you are going to question it until the very end. It smells kind of basic while cooking. But at the end, when you throw the mounds of basil in, the whole thing comes together and the … Continue reading Thai Basil Chicken Bowls
Slammin’ Salmon
I like salmon all different ways, and Erin makes a great blackened salmon. But this recipe really kills it, the salmon takes on a lot of flavor but you don't lose the actual salmon taste. I think that makes sense. Anyway, if you have some hunks of salmon, go do this to them and serve … Continue reading Slammin’ Salmon
Korean Beef Bulgogi
This takes a little prep but is well worth the effort. I made this with skirt steak, but flank or ribeye would be good too. It was pretty amazing. Prepping the skirt steak took up most of the time, after that it was a really fast meal. When I got done with the meat I … Continue reading Korean Beef Bulgogi
