Cooking

As I mentioned, I have been doing a lot of cooking this past week, and I wanted to share some of my recipes with you. 

The other night I whipped up this Shrimp and Green Bean Fried Rice dish in no time at all. I sautéed shrimp in butter and poured this over rice I had whipped up from Boil in a Bag (so easy and makes cleaning up a breeze). I then stirred in green beans which I had steamed in the bag, and cut up quickly with kitchen scissors after they were steamed. I then tossed the mixture with some fried rice seasoning. I had meant to also mix in a touch of soy sauce but forgot. It was good but most of all it was so quick and healthy. 

Last night I made this Crispy Cheddar Chicken Dish that I found on Pinterest and it was very delicious. 

For the chicken you put it in milk, then roll it in shredded cheddar cheese, then roll it in crushed up Ritz crackers, and then bake. The sauce is just cream of chicken, sour cream, and butter. 

Here is the link to the recipe:

I also made this last week for the boyfriend 

and I, but it was not very quick. I made baked potatoes

spinach, and steak with mushrooms and onions.

The steak was cooked perfectly, one of my best,

but the potatoes took forever to cook. To make the 

steak delicious he first rule is you can't cook it if 

it's cold - I try and let it sit out for at least an hour

before I cook it. After you cook it, you have to let 

it rest for at least 3 mins before you cut into it. 

I try and keep it very simple when I cook steak: 

sautée it in butter or oil (I prefer butter) on med to 

med low heat. I flavor it with McCormicks Grill

Mates, which is mainly just salt and pepper, and 

if the steak is thick I put the heat on low and put

the lid on to help it cook through. It should take no

more than 5 mins to cook. 

Hope to have more recipes coming soon - I 

pinned a bunch of recipes on Pinterest I hope

to try soon!
