I made the Coconut Curry Chicken tonight. Subbed in mongolian fire oil, added a red bell pepper, and added extra curry paste. Tasty!
Highly recommend and pretty easy to make!0 -
Holy ****. There is a lot of food here.

Sarah, it's What's For Dinner? all over again...I love it!!
After all the wonton wrapper talk, I've decided I'm getting some this weekend. My meal plans went out the window this week due to underplanning and the plague.
Fajitas tomorrow night...if I'm feeling saucy, I might make my own flour tortillas.0 -
Yeah, I was going to mention flour tortillas but everything I had to say flew out of my head. :laugh:
It's What's For Dinner.... before we knew all the recipes that everyone makes. :laugh:0 -
And assigned names...like Carrie Chili and Michelle Soup. :laugh:0

The great thing about won tons is you can put anything in them!!! For sloppy joe you can just use any recipe or manwich. Hmmmm yum! Maybe I'll try it with my Philly sloppy joes....0
-
Yeah, they really do take on the flavour of whatever is in them which is so great! I read that a lot of people make a ravioli with them which is a fantastic idea and way better from a calorie standpoint but yet even in protein!
Love these things!
Oh and I found a perogy recipe....I'm Ukrainian....definitely trying that one out!0 -
Ummmm morningstar???? hahahaha - no here's one.....
1 can black beans
3 cups cubed sweet potatoes, peeled (yeah, so don't peel a day ahead of time, I learned that lesson)
3/4 cup sweet corn frozen, fresh or grilled
1/2 red onion finely chopped
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup quinoa
1 tbsp olive oil
1/3 heaping cup almond flour/or whatever you want
2 tbsp roasted sunflower seeds
salt to suit taste
black pepper to taste
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/4 cayenne
1 tbsp hot sauce
Cook the sweet potatoes and until soft in whatever method you prefer. While those are cooking preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (totally saves on dishes and nonstick surface to boot!) to 375.
Once potatoes are cooled, add half the black beans and mash them with a fork.
Then add remaining ingredients.
Form into 10 patties about 1/2 inch thick. Please each patty onthe baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping the burgers halfway through the cooking time. Remove from oven and serve.

Those sound great. I had been wanting a recipe for these myself. Not sure how I can convert the measurements into ounces or grams though. I am uk based.0 -
Gaelwyn, there's a ton of online converters that you can use...I wonder if there's a recipe converter, so you can just input the recipe and it converts it....hmmmmm.

Yeah it's the same thing...I'm just too lazy to write it the proper way lol Basically just make the filling of a perogy....so whatever kind you like. Potato and cottage cheese, potato and onion, potato and cheddar, etc....and fill those little suckers up! You boil these ones though so you would have to make sure they are sealed well, but you could also fry them. Mmmmm fried perogies are so effing yummy!0 -
mmmm pierogies. I had never had them until I moved here. Carb heaven really. I made some real ones from scratch once for my bf. Cheddar+potato variety. If anyone wants to come over for cheat day we can do it up. Otherwise wonton pierogies are a great idea! So smart Vegas. Those buffalo chicken bites sound amazing too. Maybe I just need a snack...0

Me thinking of alternatives.....You could use pureed cauliflower rather than mashed potatoes, that way it could fit into a regular day rather than "cheat".0 -
Tonight for dinner I'm making shepherd's pie - well, it would actually be cottage pie since it's with ground beef rather than lamb.
I use
1 lb ground sirlion 95% lean
1 small can tomato paste
garlic - as desired
rosemary - crush as desired
peas
carrots
sliced potatoes
Brown the sirloin and add the peas and carrots to cook with them. As your seasoning and tomato paste - place into a caserole dish. Take your potatoes that are sliced, mix with olive oil - light salt - place over the top of the groud beef - bake at 350-400 until the potatoes are browned and crispy.
Super good on a cold night.0 -
Not to one up your Shepherd's Pie...but this is my preferred recipe (I really like the sweet potatoes and rosemary combo), via Skinnytaste:

No alternative for this girl in the name of perogies and all things sacred....it completely goes again everything in my Ukrainian genetics to make a perogy using mashed cauliflower :laugh: I'll take the starch and all of it's yummy goodness :drinker:0 -
I've tried shepherd's pie with the sweet potatoes - I like it, but I like the slices and how they get nice and crispy! Num! And I need the beefy flavor lol
Though I do love the addition of parsnips! I'll have to try that.
Worchresrheeh is one of my favorite flavors - that and A1 steak sauce. So good!!!0 -
I love me some A1...I'll eat it with my fries instead of ketchup. Yum!
We're FINALLY having fajitas tonight--chicken and pork. I made a pork shoulder in the crock pot a couple weeks ago and froze 1/2 of the meat. I coated the shoulder in salsa, cocoa powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and cooked until it fell apart. At the time, we did tacos with it, but it will be good with fajitas as well.
I made buffalo chicken dip last night to munch on during the game. This totally isn't my recipe, but I make it all the time for parties and whatnot, so all of my IRL people think it's mine. :laugh:
Cooked chicken breasts (I pressure cooked 4 of them and then shredded)
Frank's Red Hot
1 C ranch
1 C shredded cheese--I use a cheddar/colby blend
8oz block of cream cheese--I use the Neufewhateverit'sspelled cheese instead
Marinate the shredded chicken in the red hot for at least an hour--I just add enough so it's coated with some extra. If the chicken absorbs it, I'll add a bit more.
Then, soften the cream cheese, mix it in the chicken with 1/2 of the shredded cheese and the ranch. Bake at 350* until it's heated and melty, add the rest of the shredded cheese and bake until that's melted. I served mine with Triscuits, but it's good with Fritos, tortilla chips, whatever.0 -

That dip is the best *kitten* ever! And what I used in my buffalo chicken wanton bites....minus the ranch! Sooooo super yummy!0 -
Inspired by something I saw on the forums this morning; I will be making this hopefully over the weekend (if not sooner)!
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground turkey
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup prepared macaroni and cheese - your choice
12 slices bacon
I am going to add in some diced jalapenos
DIRECTIONS:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl add ground turkey, egg, onion & garlic powder and bread crumbs. Mix well but do not over work.
In a 6 well cup-cake pan criss-cross 2 slices of bacon in each well, with the ends hanging over outside the well. Divide the turkey mixture into 6 portions. Flatten each portion into a pattie. Place a spoon of man & cheese in the center of each pattie. Shape the pattie around the mac & cheese. Like a stuffed meatball! Make sure the mac & cheese is sealed inside so all the cheesey goodness stays inside! Place each stuffed meat loaf into the cupcake well. Fold the exposed ends of the bacon over each meat-loaf.
Bake uncovered on a cookie sheet for 35-45 minutes. I put a slice of cheese over each meatloaf and melt it before serving. You can also make a glaze of equal parts ketchup, mustard and brown sugar and brush each meatloaf with the glaze and bake.

I make a batch of these almost every week for breakfast.
Apple Chicken Sausage
1 lb ground chicken
1 granny smith apple, peeled and diced small
3 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp red pepper flakes
dash of salt and pepper
Mix all together, get all squishy with it. Form into 10 patties. Heat pan with about 1 TB olive oil. Once pan is hot, add patties. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip. After cooking 3-5 minutes on the other side I tend to add a TB or two of water to the bottom of the pan, to keep them moist while they finish cooking. Couple more flips and they're done.
Each patty is 89 cal, 3 carbs, 4 gm fat, 9 gm protein. I typically have 2-3 for breakfast. Yum.0 -

I request more information on the BBQ Chicken Cupcakes puh-lease!!!!!
Come cook for me, lol. I have only ventured into stews so far. I have just never learnt to cook, though I have some good cookbooks around now. I think it is more that I have a small freezer that puts me off as I would like to cook and freeze portions. My meals tend to be very basic, like wild salmon, sweet potato and steamed vegetables or baked chicken, avocado, wild rice and broccoli.0 -
I need dinner ideas for the next week or so but my brain is much due to my impending wedding.....it's like baby brain, but wedding brain.....
HELP ME OUT!
I'd prefer protein rich/gluten free ideas if you have them 0 -
Since my other non-lettuce salad went over so well, here's another: Self-contained caprese salad
You'll need:
Roma tomatoes (however many you want to make, I can scarf down at least 2-3 at a time)
Good mozzarella (I don't do the in water, but I do go for a high quality)
basil
balsamic vinegar
Start by reducing down the balsamic vinegar. I made about 15 tomatoes worth, and I used an entire bottle of balsamic and had some left over. You might want to leave the kitchen for this as it gets a little caustic in there, but you should stir it occasionally. And when I say reduce, I mean WAY down. It should get to the consistency of melted chocolate. It turns amazingly sweet and not sour at all, and I can eat it by the spoonful at this point.
Then, cut the tops off of the roma tomatoes and hollow them out. These will be the containers for the rest of the salad. Then, cut the mozzarella into small cubes (quarter of an inch on a side about), and chop the basil. I used about 2/3 of a log of mozzarella to fill my 15 tomatoes) I like the basil nice and fine, so I chiffonade first, then chop that.
Layer the mozzarella and basil into the tomatoes until they are filled (I usually fill them half with cheese, put in a pinch of basil, fill the rest with cheese, and then another pinch on top). Then drizzle the filling with a little bit of the reduced balsamic; a little goes a long way, but I guess it's maybe 1/4 tsp ish.
Insert into mouth; die in ecstasy.0
