A Recipe So Amazing You Will Wonder Where It Has Been All Your Life.

I absolutely LOVE the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. She has the best recipes for families on the go and understands the value of spending time sitting down with those you love and eating something homemade together.

But life on the farm, or life anywhere else can be pretty hectic.  Ree has a whole lot of great 16 minute meals that are super quick and easy to get on the table. I am sure they are as popular with her family as they are with mine.

My favorite ingredient in this fresh ginger. I remember using only ground ginger but when I used fresh ginger for the first time I realized I will never go back. The flavor was out of this world. It isn;t super hot but the minced ginger adds so much flavor that you just can’t get enough of this dish.

This is what Ree has to say about her dish.

Here’s how I make Cashew Chicken! I could eat it weekly for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.

I can smell Panda Express pumping out the amazing spicy flavors from their restaurant every time I stop at the corner!

There is an intersection I need to go through to get home from just about anywhere. I end up driving right past a Panda Express every day. When the light is red I can smell the sweet and sour sauce and spicy foods, almost like they are taunting me that I still need to go home and make dinner.

I think they do that on purpose! Timing the smalls to waft out into the intersection at dinner rush hour.

Well, this mama’s not falling for it.

This recipe is PERFECT and served with some steamed broccoli and rice makes a great meal.

This is what Lisa of Creole Contessa has to say about her recipe.

Think Korean hot sauce and spicy chicken nuggets fried to perfection.
The sauce is just the right kind of heat without being too overpowering.
You can always dip the hot chicken in cooling ranch dressing or sweet and sour sauce.

Quick Tip: Make a double batch of this and you are set for make ahead lunches!

Dinner, Appetizer, Lunch? WOW talk about multi functional!

I use to buy a big bag of meatballs from Costco when all out kids were home. They weren’t the best tasting, not sure it is was the flavor or the texture, but they were food that could be fixed in a hurry. That was what counted then since we had 6 kids at home.

I used to use the meatballs in spaghetti sauce, sub sandwiches, and for a quick snack dipped in BBQ sauce.

But they weren’t the best tasting thing so after we had several kids move out and our family size change, I began to buy more and more things in smaller quantity.

This meatball recipe might just be what I was looking for! Since I am not a huge ground turkey fan I will replace it for ground chicken. If you are a beef purist, go ahead and use ground beef. Hey..it is your dinner! Do what works best for you!

If you have some reluctant or picky eaters, feel free to go light on some of the sriacha sauce. Trust me ..we lived in the Midwest for 9 years. Pretty sure their idea of hot sauce was un-refrigerated ketchup!

This is what Kelly at Eat Yourself Skinny has to say about this winner of a recipe.

Not only is this sauce ridiculously easy to make, but as I said before, how can you go wrong with flavors like Sriracha, soy sauce, ginger, honey, and garlic?! The answer is you can’t. Most store-bought sauces come saturated in preservatives and other ingredients that you can’t really pronounce which is why I am all about making my own.

Quick Tip:  Since these are so yummy and easy to put together why not make up at least a double batch of meatballs, freeze them on a cookie sheet after baking and then put in freezer bag. Take out as needed.

Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry that is Fresh and EASY.

The only thing missing is the chopsticks and fortune cookie, but seriously, you can get those at the grocery store.The best part about this recipe is that it tastes just as good the following day heated up for lunch.

Our kids loved it when I served broccoli beef or orange cashew chicken and had a set of chopsticks next to their fork.

It was entertaining to see them carefully pick up their food and get it to their mouths before dropping it in front of themselves. I have to admit they also ate much slower.

Even if they ended up using their fork, they still had fun trying.

If you don’t happen to have fresh broccoli you can always use frozen, but fresh is a bit tastier. I have also added thin strips of carrots just to add some color and texture.

Plus, if you have picky eaters, being able to give them a second vegetable choice is a good decision.

This is what Chris has to say about this recipe.

I clipped this recipe from Taste of Home magazine several years ago and have found it to be the best-tasting easy beef and broccoli stir-fry.  I like that it doesn’t call for any unusual ingredients.

This Recipe Is Sooooooo Popular That It’s Been Pinned On Pinterest 640,000 Times!

Most of your modern day Japanese dishes come from the Edo era between the years of 1603 and 1867. At least the most well known ones.

During the Edo Era there were a lot of changes taking place in Japan. With urbanization beginning to take place it introduced changes in farming methods and, new ingredients began being imported into Japan.

One of the most famous of all modern day Japanese dishes are the Teriyaki dishes. You can purchase Teriyaki bowls in almost every food court in every mall across the country.

Most historians would probably agree that Teriyaki was introduced into Japanese cuisine around the seventeenth century. Most likely because many of the traditional methods of roasting and grilling meat were introduced at right about that same time.

During the 1960’s in the United States is when Teriyaki first became popular in North America. This is when Japanese restaurants began popping up all over the country.

There are literally hundreds of variations of Teriyaki Sauce today. Chefs have tried virtually every different combination of ingredients possible in order to come up with the best Teriyaki sauce.

I personally have tried a gazillion of them but this is probably the best one I have ever found.
