Ponzu Green Stir Fry

Published 05.20.2014 | By Author

My go to easy recipe for dinner has to be a stir-fry. I always have some veggies in the fridge; broccoli and carrots are must haves in my house. There is always a piece of ginger root hiding behind something and of course some garlic. Rice and a few bottles of condiments are always on hand as well in my pantry. So when I haven’t put any thought into what we are having for dinner, stir-fry it is! It is a healthy delicious meal. Almost always vegan & vegetarian, full of fiber and plant proteins. This time around I had some Marukan Ponzu Premium Soy Dressing with Sudachi Citrus in my pantry and decided to make a Ponzu Green Stir Fry.

Delicious Rating: I am in love with this Ponzu Dressing! It is an absolute must in your pantry and there are plenty of recipes on the Marukan site to cook up using the dressing. I balanced out the citrus with some ginger and honey. It was a nice change up to my Tofu Stir-Fry recipe adding another layer of flavor to the sauce. I only used green veggies and they were great but next time I think I will add a red bell pepper and some carrots for some color on that plate!

Anolon Square Griddle Giveaway!

Published 05.12.2014 | By Author

I am in love with this griddle pan! My DH loves cooking up pancakes and this griddle is great for multiple pancakes at once. Lemon ricotta recipe coming up soon! The folks over at Anolon sent me this and wanted me to review it and giveaway one as well to a very fortunate reader! You will love this pan. It is perfect for cooking hearty breakfasts and heats evenly over the whole cooking surface. I really like the heavy duty stainless steel handle.

The Anolon Nouvelle Series is wonderful. It features this 11 inch square griddle which is made from Hard-anodized aluminum that is twice as hard as stainless steel and provides excellent heat distribution. Plus, pharmacy metal utensil are safe to use on the non-stick surface. That has to be my favorite feature. Sometimes I end up using forks or a metal spatula on non-stick pans and they get ruined. But not the case with this Anolon Griddle. The pan is also oven safe up to 500F, cialis so it is perfect for finishing off fish in the oven. I am thinking of using it next for making some yummy Sun dried tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. What would you use this Anolon square griddle pan for?

Puffy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Published 05.08.2014 | By Author

Peanut Butter and Chocolate belong together. The perfect pairing. The ideal match. Think bread & butter, toast & jam, tea & honey, PB & J…you get the picture. I am always baking up easy cookie recipes for my DH. It is his go to sweet snack at home. He loves warm cookies and an ice cold beer. Yeah, definitely different, but I still love him! Every now and then he gets on this kick about losing weight, so no more cookies. Bummer, I actually enjoy baking him cookies. So I decided to create some mini cookies. Same thing but the size is thoroughly deceiving. You think you are being ‘good’ by eating smaller cookies only to never realize you ate double the amount in regular size (insert evil laugh). Needless to say, he loved them!

Delicious Rating: I have baked and eaten a lot of peanut butter cookies in my time but these take first place. They have a nicely crisp bottom and puff up with a full warm delicious middle. The mini chocolate chips are a perfect pairing for these mini cookies. They are so addictive though because they are small. If you want bigger cookies, go for it, just adjust baking times accordingly. This cookie dough also freezes perfectly. Check out the photo guide for the easy instructions.
