Chicken Kebabs

18 Aug

Yummy Kebabs

My husband made some delicious kebabs.

Ingredients:

  • 5 kebab sticks
  • 3 chicken tenderloins
  • bunch of mushrooms
  • 1 onion
  • 1 pepper

First, soak those wooden kebab sticks for 30 minutes! If you have metal, obviously there is no need for this step.

We cut up the tenderloins with kitchen shears. Chop up the onion and pepper.

Construct your kebabs by alternating ingredients.

My husband made some sort of soy sauce and sesame marinade. He soaked the finished kebabs in said marinade (for which I did not have the recipe)

Grill unto chicken reaches internal temperature of 165ºF. Safety first!

Enjoy with rice and sweet tea.

Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwich

31 Dec

This sandwich is a classic for when I just don’t feel like making anything. Use less honey than in the photos, unless you enjoy a goopy sandwich like I do.


[iPhone] How to make a peanut butter and honey sandwich on 12seconds.tv

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread
  • Butter
  • Peanut Butter
  • Honey

Directions

  1. Toast the bread
  2. Butter the bread
  3. Spread peanut butter on bread
  4. Drizzle honey on top of peanut butter
  5. Slap together and enjoy!

You will note that I neatly sliced (pun intended) my bread. I do this as with the quantity of honey that I use, the sandwich is quite rich and I have much difficulty eating it all at once. If I do not have a tall glass of milk, I find it most impossible to finish at all.

Parmesan Chicken over Rotini

13 Jan

Kraft foods has a video on cooking parmesan chicken with rotini. I gave it a try, with a few modifications, and it proved quite delectable.

  Chicken Parmesan over Rotini

The recipe called for egg white, I used a whole egg. I also used club crackers instead of Ritz. Close enough, and still tasty.I used LaRosa pasta, which I’ve never used before (I had some in stock, and I had run out of my usual whole-wheat pasta). I will never use LaRosa again. It fell apart in  moments, and as I stirred it, it was no longer recognizable as rotini. I’ve never had such catastrophic results in a pasta. It still tasted acceptable, but I’ll never use that brand again.

My family gave it a 10 and all wanted seconds. It’s quick to prepare, easy to push together after work. Add this to your quick meals list. 

Pasta alla Carbonara

31 Aug

Yummy pasta alla carbonara

A most delicious pasta with carbonara sauce courtesy of Cookng with Amy. I highly recommend this pasta dish.

Carbonara is a sauce featuring egg, bacon, and/or grated cheese. Original carbonara recipes never called for the addition of cream, although recent recipes include it. Amy’s recipe does not include cream, and I love the carbonara sauce without it.

Update: I’ve found a good combination for the carbonara sauce one box of rotini or other pasta to be 4 eggs and 2/3 cup of grated cheese – or more, until you reach desired consistency.
