Five Cup Fruit Salad

I haven't posted anything here yet because I'm slow!  This is one of my favorite recipes to make around the holidays.  Here is a link to it: Five Cup Fruit Salad  The best part is that there are only 5 ingredients and all you have to do is mix them together.  Yum yum!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Chicken Sandwich with Spinach Salad

For Christmas I received two new cookbooks. The lastest Cookin' in the Kitchen was 'released' in December. I also get the bi-montly Taste of Home magazine. And if that weren't enough, when I was on the couch holding a super sick girl, I watched lots of Food Network. So many new recipes. So many. And I wanted to try them all. Every time I cooked. We had lots of flops. Lots. But we did have some good ones in there too. For example, Paula Deen. Love her!

Sweet Tea-Brined Fried Chicken on a Biscone. Lots of easy work, but good. Complimented with a friend's spinach salad (found in the green book ladies).

I am going to try and post more recipes with pictures. Is that something you would be interested in?

Teriyaki Beef with Noodles and Fried Rice

Remember how I said I would post all those recipes I cooked at the beach? Well, I forgot. Hmm. And I bet you did too.

Teriyaki Beef with Noodles
1 lb beef boneless sirloin, cut into thin strips
1 can (14 oz) beef broth
¼ cup teriyaki stir-fry sauce
Dash of ground red pepper (cayenne)
1½ cups frozen snap pea pods
1½ cups (3 oz) uncooked fine egg noodles (angel hair pasta works also)

Spray 12-inch skillet with cooking spray. Cook beef in skillet over medium-high heat 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown. Remove beef from skillet; keep warm.

Mix broth, stir-fry sauce and red pepper in skillet. Heat to boiling. Stir in pea pods and noodles; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook about 5 minutes or until noodles are tender. Stir in beef. Cook uncovered 2-3 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened.

Fried Rice
White rice, cooked
1-2 eggs
Green onions, thinly sliced
Butter
Soy sauce

Sauté onion in butter. Add eggs and scramble. Add rice and enough soy sauce to get desired flavor.
