Baked Wonton Tacos When I was a little kid, around every New Year’s, my mom and grandma would sit down and make Mandu {Korean version of potstickers or wontons} all day to make Teokguk {Korean version of wonton soup} and I’d just sit with them trying to help out. I remember trying to help out making my own Mandu, though not really successfully. Then my mom and grandma made their own mandu skins from scratch… And now… how grateful I am that I can get premade mandu skins so easily… although I think I should try and make my own skins sometime… It’s definitely on my to-do list. But until then, these premade wonton skins would do. When I saw that you can use wonton skins to make little tacos, I immediately experimented with the idea. I added ingredients that I love, like cilantro and avocado slices… So refreshing and delicious. Boil one chicken breast (boneless and skinless) until fully cooked. Shred the chicken using two forks. Add chopped cilantro leaves (1 TBS). Add cheese (2 TBS) to the chicken mixture.

Cake Batter Blondies with Marshmallow Buttercream - Cookies and Cups Are you guys on Pinterest? It’s such a fun site where you can consolidate fun things you see on the internet. You “Pin” the pictures to boards you make and you can share them with people. Anyway, while it is fun and great and you can find all sorts of cool things it makes me a little crazy because there are so many talented people out there coming up with tons of things I wish I thought of! BUT I learned at an early age not to be envious of what others have. It was a hard lesson. It involved sausage. Would you like to hear? Thought so. Ok, the year was 1985. I had a friend named Michelle. Well, we sat next to each other everyday at lunch. Her lunches were always awesome…everything was in its own reusable container…no plastic baggies for her. I asked my mom one day why she didn’t give me a napkin in my lunch box… I will never forget her response…”That’s why we pay taxes, so you can use napkins at school”. I sat and stared. I looked down at my lunch…a tuna sandwich, Capri Sun, and applesauce.
Low-carb cauliflower pizza I am officially a cauliflower convert! If you’d asked me a week ago which vegetables I don’t like, I would have said cauliflower and peas. Well, peas are now in a list of one (and to be honest I can now even manage a few of them if they’re mixed in with plenty of other stuff…). Cauliflower – possibly my new favourite vegetable. I knew roasting did wonders for vegetables, but who knew it could transform my least favourite veg into my newest obsession (there may or may not have been three cauliflower recipes created in my kitchen in the last two days…)? No more watery, tasteless, mushy boiled cauliflower – roasted cauliflower is like an entirely different species. This recipe is not actually my own, it’s 100% inspired by a lovely lady who is a member of my Facebook group (if you’re not yet a member, come and join us! Now, the low-carb thing. If you’re still not convinced by replacing bread with cauliflower: just try it! Low-carb cauliflower pizza Author: Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche Yield: 2
The best low carb pancake recipe I've ever tried. : ketorecipes Cuban Flank Steak Recipe (Updated and added to Recipe Favorites August 2010) In one of my previous lives, before I became a food blogger and a South Beach Dieter, I used to be president of my local teacher's association, aka the teacher's union. This was a demanding high-pressure job that I sometimes loved, sometimes hated, but one thing I did enjoy about the job was the chance to travel. I went all over the U.S., and it was in Miami Beach that I had my first experience with Cuban food. I loved the way beef and pork were marinated in lime juice in the Cuban cuisine, so a few years ago I tried to re-create that flavor in this flank steak. Recently I made this again and thought I'd update this post with better photos (even though I cut the steak a little thicker than I wanted, they 're still an improvement on the previous photos!) You can't read the price, but this lean flank steak I got at my local market was a bargain. When meat is done, let it rest for 5-minutes before you slice it. Instructions:
Braised Lamb Shoulder Chops with Tomatoes and Rosemary Generously season the chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy fry pan over medium-high heat and warm 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the chops without crowding them in the pan, and sear for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn the chops over and sear for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes more. Pour off the fat from the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low; wait for about 1 minute for the pan to cool down. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices and the olives. Increase the heat to high and simmer briskly until the braising juices are slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. A note from the butcher: Braises like this can also be prepared with lamb shanks, which make a beautiful presentation, especially when the bone is frenched.
