Straight from the Menu, This Mandarin-Style Dish Is Good To the Very Last Morsel.

I love being able to eat out once in a while, but when you try something off a menu that is so amazing you can’t stop thinking about it..well that is a clue that you should probably either go out more often of get the recipe.

This recipe is perfect to make for those weeks when you are hoping for left overs. I think this recipe is even better the second day. So really, why not make big batch and break out your chopsticks for this tantalizing dish that you can make right in your own kitchen.

There have been several times when I have had a full Chinese/mandarin meal. It was great to have the kids help me with all of the side dishes but it was a lot of work. This recipe is more than stirring a few items together , but something that is totally doable and will be worth every bite.

Now if only making egg rolls was this easy!

This is what Sabrina of Dinner Then Dessert has to say about this savory supper.

Cheesecake Factory’s Spicy Cashew Chicken is straight from the restaurant’s menu, this is a really spicy Mandarin-Style chicken dish with scallions and roasted cashews. It is crispy while being coated in this amazing sauce thanks to the light texture of the tempura style batter and the rice flour.

No fuss, but all the flavor! What an awesome recipe!

The Official National Cheesecake day is actually July 30! So bummed because while I did think ahead in order to be able to celebrate National Lasagna Day, I don’t think I am going to be able to pull off the Cheesecake in time.

Oh well! I guess I will have to just announce that Anyday is cheese cake day!

My mother-in-law has a recipe for a cheesecake that is pretty darned involved. I watched my husband make it once and thought, I can buy one for less than he spent on the ingredients!

At the end of all the stirring and prep time, he took out a bottle of ale or beer and put in a healthy dose. My oldest boys went crazy for it. Me..not so much.

It was heavy and overpowering. One bite and you could feel your arteries begin to harden. It did pretty well in the pie auction, but my vote actually went to a berry concoction.

Seeing that this recipe has lemon in it and the fact that it is a no bake dessert makes me want to start singing!

This is what Ashley of Recipe Rebel has to say about this scrumptious nor fuss dessert!

This No Bake Lemon Cheesecake is possibly my favorite cheesecake ever. It is light and fluffy and creamy and just sweet enough to balance out all that tang from real lemon juice and zest. It is perfection, especially when you load it up with real whipped cream and fresh summer berries.

Quick tip: If you have fresh fruit go ahead and slice some up. This would be amazing with mango or fresh assortment of berries.

No Bake Cheesecake? How cool! Literally.

I love the taste of cheesecake, but it can be so heavy and overwhelming. Adding in citrus really lightens up the flavor and the fact that this is a no bake treat makes it nice. Really, who wants to heat up the house during the summer months.

When we lived in the Midwest I noticed that the older farm houses had a “summer kitchen”.  It was a small outbuilding next to the house that had a stove and storage. It was where the canning, cooking, and baking took place during the summer months, especially when the harvest was plentiful.

Coming from CA, I thought that seemed odd, but when the temperature and the humidity started rising to a sweltering level I understood the wisdom.

Being able to make anything without having to heat up the house was a huge benefit.

Here is what Martha says about her no-bake Key Lime Cheesecake.

This airy, mousse-like treat blends the tartness of Key lime pie with the richness of cheesecake. Its graham-cracker crust sets in the freezer rather than the oven, and the traditional whipped-cream topping is folded right into the filling, along with fresh citrus juice and zest, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk. Chill it overnight, and wake up to a world of bliss.

Quick Tip: If you do not have key limes available, go ahead and replace with regular limes. The taste will be a bit different but will still be amazing.
