I took a 2 inch thick slice of uncooked pork belly, 2 cups of chicken stock, 2 cups water, 1/3 cup rice, garlic, ginger, Chilis, and couple TBSP soya sauce boiled it all for about 1 hour. I took out the pork belly and cut it all up very thinly. I added the pork back, cut up Chinese broccoli, enoki mushrooms, & 1 beat egg. Salt pepper to taste Different, we liked it.
Start with a roux. Add your butter 1/2CUP and flour 1/3CUP and cooked til flour becomes a nice golden color.Pour 2 cups of milk in whisking til thickened nicely. Add salt/pepperAdd your cheeses , variety is always best. about 4 cups of cheese. Mix, stir til melted in.I stir in cooked macaroni. These makes so much, you can only eat so much mac N cheese. Although my kids and hubby love this. It’s great for school / work lunches. It’s nice to change things up a bit. We will usually eat this on day 1 and on day 3 I’ll make a different dish to finish it off.We love shrimp. We love Cajun! I actually didn’t have much shrimp left so I took 8prawns and cut them all up. Pan fried them with onions, peppers, jalapeno, garlic and a couple TBSP of Cajun spice. Once vegetables are tender add the shrimp vegetable mix to the noodles.
My kids love this. I find bacon expensive and you only get like 2 pieces out of pack. Ham really isn’t all that cheaper but it is a bit. I buy the square ham sandwich meat pack and cut into fingers. I fry up til crispy. Kids call it bacon!
It has been a long day! I’m tired. Tonight, is a cheater meal. I used a bottle of Vodka Sauce, cooked Penne. Mixed together together in pan til heated.I put arugula on the bottom of my plate and on top along with some cheese. Lucky is just going to sit right there and wait. His turn.Enjoy!Our everyday Lodge user!
Our church was having a concert on the weekend and they are serving up homemade pies during intermission. Everyone is bringing in pies to donateI’ve had such a busy week this week. I didn’t have time to really do all homemade pies. I totally cheated here and hate to say it! Yes my pie crusts are homemade, that I did. Unfortunately my fillings are not. I did one strawberry rhubarb. I used one can of prepared strawberry rhubarb pie filling which I added 2 cups of fresh strawberries along with a couple tablespoons of flour for one pie.I did one blueberry with a can of prepared blueberry pie filling with another 2 cups of fresh blueberries added along with a couple tablespoons of flour mixed in. 3rd pie was a lemon meringue package pie filling I made.I had some strawberry rhubarb filling and blueberry filling left I mixed them together and made some mini berry pies for my family! I donated the other 3 pies for the concert.I just love cooking with minis’s.Looks how pretty these are?!
