Tasty Tuesday 1/26/16

Lately I've been wanting some chowmein, I haven't been able to go out and get some so I decided to try my luck and make some. It came out decent and didn't taste that bad, but I still felt like it was missing something, so next time I'll have to play around a little with flavor. For the most part though it was tasty! 

I started with some cabbage mix and cooked it with some oil for a few minutes..

Next, while the cabbage was cooking, I made the sauce with soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, some brown sugar (not pictured), and some garlic..

I just eye balled it..

Careful with the sesame oil, a little goes along way..

Then I took my already cooked chicken and my yakisoba noodles and mixed it with the cabbage. 

(I used three packages of yakisoba noodles) 

*(also make sure you loosen up the noodles before you mix it. There's directions on the back..)

When I got that all mixed up I used one of the flavor packets from the yakisoba and mixed that with 1/2 cup of water and the sauce that I made. Cooked it for a few mins a wah-lah! Dinner was done pretty quickly! I used already cooked chicken because on school nights, there never seems to he enough time to get everything done! You can choose any type of meat you prefer! 

I also made some egg rolls! 

I made some more of the sauce from earlier and mixed it with the cabbage and the rest of the chicken and wrapped them up and fried them for a few mins on each side. 

   I've never made egg rolls before and these came out pretty good for my first time! 

 

Added some fortune cookies and had us a dinner in under 30mins! 

Not the best pic but hey that's okay..

Since it's getting hot, I decided to try these gummy bear spritesicles. 

Super easy and only a few things needed:

1. Sprite

2. Gummy bears

3. Popsicle holder/maker

I started by making four groups of gummy bears to put in each of the popsicle makers, then I poured the Sprite in..

Then freeze..

Then eat! 

My kids only ate about half of the popsicle, because they didn't like the gummy bears hard. I thought they were pretty good! 

Tasty Tuesday 1-28-14 Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

I made these on Thanksgiving and they came out soo good, and I don't even like pumpkin pie! 

Ingredients:

(1)15oz pumpkin purée

1/2 cup of sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar 

(2) large eggs  

(1) teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup evaporated milk

2/3 cup all purpose flour

(2) teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Directions: 

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees 

*Line muffin tin with silicone or foil liners, or you can spray it with cooking spray. Don't use the paper liners because they stick pretty bad and are hard to get off the pumpkin pie. (Trust me I did and it sucked!)

*Mix the pumpkin, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and evaporated milk.

*Add the flour,pumpkin spice, salt, baking soda and baking powder to the mixture

*Fill each muffin cup with 1/3 cup of the mixture 

*Bake for 20 minutes 

*Let them cool 

*Remove cupcakes and chill in the fridge for about 30 mins 

*top with whip cream and more pumpkin spice 

(I did the last part right before I served them or wanted to eat one)

 

See how it stuck to the paper and took almost half off with it :(
