I love food. Period. Its amazing to me! I just love how you explore different types of foods, flavors and different types of cultural food. I'm really really thankful that i'm not a pickey eater because that just means I can consume more flavors! Yum.
Ok, with that being said....
What are some of your best recipes that we can all share?
Ohhh! And favorite snacks too! (Example:peanut butter and banana sandwich)

I'm always hungry.:p

I'm a big fan of beans. Today I started a pot of navy beans and ham. Only problem is, the ham was super salty and I didn't realize it. I also added salt to the pot. When they were done, they're almost too salty to eat! Another dog food supplement!

"The Chicken Recipe"

2 lbs of chicken cut into 1 inch pieces
8 oz of sour cream
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 Tbs of poppy seeds
1 stick of butter
45 Ritz crackers
egg noodles

Preheat oven to 350F

Chicken is best if frozen than thawed as opposed to fresh

Place cut up chicken in 9 X 12 baking dish

Mix sour cream, cream of chicken soup and poppy seeds together.

Spoon over chicken and mix well, this way the chicken dosn't stick to the bottom of the dish.

Melt the butter and crush the ritz crackers. Mix the crushed crackers in the butter. Spoon over the top of the chicken.

Bake for 45 minutes, let stand for 5 minutes.

Cook the egg noodles

Place noodles on the plate and spoon chicken recipe over noodles.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I had this at Apple Bees, and loved it so much that I looked up the recipe on line. My family went crazy over it and we have it all the time now. I double the recipe for the dressing and keep it in the refrigerator. It's so yummy.

Recipe
Oriental Dressing

3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil

Salad

1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup corn flake crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half
2-4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup red cabbage
1 cup Napa cabbage
1/2 carrot, julienned or shredded
1 green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon sliced almonds
1/3 cup chow mein noodles

1. Preheat oil in deep fryer or deep pan over medium heat. You want the temperature of the oil to be around 350°F.

2. Blend together all ingredients for dressing in a small bowl with an electric mixer. Put dressing in refrigerator to chill while you prepare the salad.

3. In a small, shallow bowl beat egg, add milk, and mix well.

4. In another bowl, combine flour with corn flake crumbs, salt and pepper.

5. Cut chicken breast into 4 or 5 long strips. Dip each strip of chicken first into egg mixture then into the flour mixture, coating each piece completely.

6. Fry each chicken finger for 5 minutes or until coating has darkened to brown.

7. Prepare salad by tossing the chopped romaine with the chopped red cabbage, Napa cabbage, and carrots.

8. Sprinkle sliced green onion on top of the lettuce.

9. Sprinkle almonds over the salad, then the chow mein noodles.

10. Cut the chicken into small bite-size chunks. Place the chicken onto the salad forming a pile in the middle. Serve with salad dressing on the side. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com) Makes 1 dinner-size salad.


We use grilled chicken to save time and calories.

Beans and nopales are good together.
A good way to prepared nopales is to chop/dice up lil Tomatoes, onions, and cilantro!

This is something that I made almost everyday in the summer for breakfast.

Yogurt (from Costco)
Blueberries (from Costco)
Walnuts (from Costco)
Honey (from Costco)
Bananas (organic)

I used about 3/4 of a cup of yogurt and then just threw in the blueberries and about 2 oz. of nuts and about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey and about 1/2 of a banana. I used the yogurt from Costco because it has only 9 grams of sugar in it. That's why I sweetened it with honey. Enjoy.

I love A bed of fresh spinich with quatared fresh mozzarella cheeze on it. (Get it in a jar in little balls) and diced tomato with bacon bits and cheese.

It is a very light snack on healthy days. I don't use much of the bacon or cheese.

And Sprinkle it with Italian Dressing..

Not really a recipe, just something I put together one summer day, and have been eating it ever since.

I also tried to prepare that food egyptiandan which is the chicken recipe. Absolutely, If I have no work I just spend my time in exploring food recipes. Fortunately, I just get started with my own restaurant.

My favorite [that I can think of right now] is probably my chicken salad. Simple, but DELICIOUS.

Chicken [You'll probably want to make a lot, depending on how much you like it! We make it by the giant bowl-full!]
Mayonnaise
Salt/Pepper
Garlic powder [Can't use fresh garlic here, too strong]
Dijon mustard [You can sub regular mustard here if you don't want/have dijon]
Celery
Onions
Tomatoes

-Prepare the chicken however you wish. I've learned the finished product tastes best when you barbecue the chicken. Not too many seasons when you barbecue however!
-When done, cut the chicken [or pull apart if cooled] into small pieces into a BIG bowl.
-Chop up as much onion and celery as desired. I'm a big fan of both [and the texture in the salad] so I put equal amounts of both, and they measure up to 3/4 of the amount of chicken.
-Stir in the mayo, until you have just enough to coat all of the chicken, celery, and onions evenly.
-Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
-Add the mustard to taste. I love mustard, [and it gives the salad a nice kick] so I add about 1/4 cup of mustard. I suggest adding the mustard slowly though, and tasting along the way as it can easily overpower the rest of everything.
-Chill the salad in the freezer while you slice some tomatoes and get your favorite sandwich bread ready.
-Throw everything together, and you've got an awesome chicken salad sandwich! Or if you want to eat the salad plain, its perfectly delicious =] [and addicting too!]
