Grub Lyfe: Sweet And Sour Chicken Recipe

 

Restaurant-Style Meals to Make at Home : Recipes and Cooking : Food Network

Notes
Cooking the chicken over high heat quickly gives it a nicely browned look and taste without needing to deep fry. Fresh orange juice in the sauce and lots of vegetables keep the dish and the nutrition balanced.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons peanut oil
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint small, sweet mixed peppers, quartered, or 2 mixed bell peppers, cut into 1-inch strips
6 scallions, whites cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, greens cut into 1-inch pieces and thinly sliced vertically into thin strips
8 ounces snow peas, trimmed
Serving suggestion, cooked brown rice
Chopped peanuts for sprinkling, optional
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, chili-garlic sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, orange juice and cornstarch; set aside.

Meanwhile, coat the chicken with 2 teaspoons oil and heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken to taste with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally with a wooden spoon, 2 minutes. Transfer the partially-cooked chicken to a plate. Reserve the pan.

Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the pan; add the peppers, scallion whites, and snow peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved chicken; whisk the sauce again and add it to the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve over rice and sprinkle with the scallion greens and peanuts, if using.

Garlic Cheese Flatbread Recipe - Allrecipes.com

 

  • 1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast

  • 1 cup lukewarm water

  • 2 cups bread flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 teaspoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened

  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

 

 

 

 

 

 

Directions

  1. In a cup or small bowl, sprinkle yeast over the surface of the lukewarm water. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to dissolve.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt and sugar. Pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Beat with a sturdy spoon until dough is stiff enough to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Cover, and set aside until doubled in size, about 35 minutes.
  3. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead briefly on a floured surface. Roll the dough out to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness or to the size of your baking sheet. Place on a greased baking sheet and spread butter over the top. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Let rest while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Serve warm.

I See You: Pizza Hut’s Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza Review

 

CRAZY CHEESY CRUST PIZZA - Google Search

 

Hmmmmm. Pizza Hut is like the Taco Bell of pizza to me. Sometimes you just want un-authentic Mexican food, and a Nacho Bell Grande is what your taste buds are calling for, it happens.

With that being said, since I don’t live in Chicago where the best pizza on earth lives, from time to time I scratch my pizza itch with Pizza Hut. A few weeks ago I tried their new Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza, and I was impressed! It was quite tasty.

The buttery cheesy crust edges are so delicious, which makes the whole slice delish from beginning to end.  I enjoyed the pizza, so much so, I’m ordering one tonight. I do hope that they make this a permanent menu item because it is YUMMMERS!

Add the tomatoes, wine and saffron and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer 3 minutes. Drop the fettuccine into the boiling water and cook to one minute less than the package instructions.

The Delicious: Gingersnap Stackers Recipe

Picture of Gingersnap Stackers Recipe

 Gingersnap cookies and vanilla ice cream make one heck of a team ya’ll!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick plus 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated if possible
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 pints vanilla ice cream
  • Waxed paper
  • Plastic wrap

Directions

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the molasses and vanilla until well incorporated. Then remove from the heat, pour into a large bowl and cool to room temperature.

Sift the flour, baking soda, spices, salt and 1 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the chopped crystallized ginger.

Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl and add to the cooled butter-molasses mixture. Fold the flour into the molasses mixture and combine well. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 20 to 25 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats.

Put the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside. Take 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll it into a ball, and then into the sugar. Place 6 cookies on each prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Bake until flat and just starting to dry out on the edges, 10 to 14 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack. This can be done ahead, cooled and stored tightly covered.

Cut the packaging from the ice cream pints and cut into thick rounds, 3 slices per pint. Put 1 cookie face down on a 8-inch square of waxed paper and top with the ice cream, matching the diameter of the cookie as close as you can; trim if needed. Top with another cookie, face up, wrap the waxed paper around the stack and then wrap tightly with a piece of plastic wrap. Repeat, placing the finished stackers into the freezer as they are completed. Let them freeze for 30 minutes. Remove the wrapping to serve.
