Four years ago on January 24, 2012, I challenged myself to a game where I would make a different meal each night for my family. The rules I set for myself were simple. I had to post a picture the next day of our meal and give a recipe or in the case of old…

Kung Pao Chicken
I had a bit of extra time last night so I decided to make Kung Pao Chicken. I stopped at the store on the way home and picked up green peppers, red peppers, green onions, soy sauce and peanuts. I also picked up a few extra fresh ingredients for our next couple meals. But, I…
Chicken with Peanut Sauce
Third time will be the charm today, right? I have lost this post two times already and my revert to saved is not working to restore what I have saved. UGH! But, here we go, again…. We are back to the busy, busy school schedule just like everyone else. The one thing I am grateful…
Asian Salmon in Foil
Have you kept your resolutions so far? If you are like most of the world, no. I stopped making resolutions many years ago. But, I did like the idea of finding one word to guide your intentions in 2016. I immediately thought of three words (I always was an overachiever.) that I really liked but…
Ramen Asian Salad – Happy New Year!
I consider my real New Years Day the day my kids go back to school each year. I don’t know why but that has always felt like the beginning of a new year to me ever since I was little. I get very emotional and sentimental around that time of year. So, actually New Years…
Pork Stir Fry with Chow Mein Noodles
I served this dinner earlier in the week but left it to post today knowing that Thanksgiving Day would throw my schedule off a bit. Hope you enjoy! In cleaning out the freezer I found 4 boneless pork chops that needed to be used as soon as possible. The other night was one of our…
Spicy Thai Noodles
My son loves spicy food. The hotter, the better according to him. I truly believe it is part of his sensory issues with Autism. Subtlety has never been his strength. When I first thought about making Spicy Thai Noodles the part that appealed to me the most was that I could make it lightly spicy…
Ground Beef Lo Mein
The temperatures are finally getting cooler here. The other morning it was 39 degrees even with the sun shining. Today we are starting the time of year with little to no sun. We are looking for comfort food and pasta does that for most of my family. I am not a fan of red sauce…
Five Easy and Heart Warming Casseroles
Spaghetti Pizza Casserole (click for link to recipe) Casseroles are a huge part of my family cooking. I love that I can make a dish during my “free” time and it is all ready to cook when I am ready to bake it. These casseroles can be made up to a day ahead of time,…
Korean Beef made with Quorn
I purchased this product with my own money. I am not in any way affiliated with Quorn. These thoughts and opinions are my own. Quorn is something I had never heard of until my son decided he wanted to become a vegetarian. I was searching for a meat substitute to use once in a while…
Wait! You’re Writing About Chinese Takeout for Your 600th Post?
Beef and Broccoli with Fried Rice and General Tso’s Chicken with White Rice “Man plans. God laughs.” – Yiddish Proverb This is my 600th post. It is not anywhere near what I thought I would be writing about for my 600th post. But, this is life and this is what happens when we plan. I…
Stir Fry with Asian Brown Garlic Sauce
A few weeks ago I hurt my knee. Nothing big but it takes 6-8 weeks of resting it to heal. If it does not heal after that then we start talking surgery. It will heal! I am trying to stay off it as much as possible which is difficult. In and out of the car,…
