I was going to make Pork and pineapple kabobs, but the pork steaks didn’t cut correctly.I took pineapple, stir-fry peppers, pork cubes, teriyaki sauce and mixed the stir fry into rice and it turned out awesome.
Pork Stir-fry
Creamed Spinach
I’m not a picky person. To be honest there are very few things I would eat. . .
I am not a fan of canned spinach as I cannot get pass the tinny taste and the slimy texture. However I love fresh spinach.
I had gott
Quarantine cooking
Since this virus is out, doesn’t mean good and creative cooking had to stop…I have made amazing fried pork chops and fried potatoes.
Chocolate Waffles
I have a waffle iron and I made a chocolate cake batter (yes from a box.)
I sprayed the iron and made chocolate waffles.
I melt butter and mix 1-2 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix. I made like a glaze.
Beef soup
Imagine the show Chopped.
You have the following ingredients: 1 pound beef roast, can of corn, can of green beans, and rice.
I made a beef veggie soup over rice and it was hardy.
It was good to have on day when you are stuck inside avoiding a virus.
I have to say that fat on your beef is your best friend for flavor.
French Toast Pancakes
I made pancakes just as on box. . . However I added a
Tablespoon of sugar
Two teaspoons of vanilla
Tablespoon of cinnamon.
It tasted really savory and sweet.
