Stir Fried Noodles with Beef and Vegetables - Chew Nibble Nosh

 I like to think that person who created stir-fry was a busy parent.  It really is the perfect meal for a crazy, running-the-kids-to-and-fro kind of night.

We had this for dinner on one of our crazy evenings, and it reminded me that I need to make stir fries more often.  The meat and veggies in this version could easily be substituted with other things I have hanging out in my fridge.  Gotta love a meal that’s easily adaptable.

Instead of serving this one over rice, it incorporates some fun, chewy, cellophane noodles into the mix.

Quick Cooking Ratatouille - Chew Nibble NoshWarmer weather means better produce!  This quick and delicious side dish is the perfect thing to throw together after a visit to the farmer’s market on a warm spring day, or even just a visit to the local grocery store.

I started by prepping all of my veggies.  I chopped up a bright, yellow pepper, and some crisp green onions.  I thinly sliced up a bright green zucchini, and then peeled and chunked up a small eggplant.  Finally, I halved a pint of grape tomatoes

I always find it amazing when I talk to people about cooking and find out that they’ve never cooked up a fresh vegetable in their life.  I’ve run across more people than I can count who only rely on frozen veggies or canned.  I’ve found that, with most of these people, it’s not a dislike of vegetables holding them back, it’s that they are intimidated by the work involved in cooking up something fresh.  Read more...

Soooooo, remember last week when I went on and on about how I’m not really very good at creating my own recipes, so I depend on my kazillion cookbooks and the power of the internet?  Well, you can chalk THIS recipe up as a true miracle.

I made it up myself, and you know what?  IT WAS GOOD!  Good enough that it passed the kid test AND the husband test.  (Those of you who know my family, know how truly different these two tests really are.)  It turned out to be something worth repeating, which is a good thing, because…  Read more...
