Apricot Chicken and Asparagus Stir Fry

  • by

I tried this recipe out during the week and it turned out pretty good. I didn’t go off of anything in particular So the recipe is pretty basic, maybe taking all of 20 to prep and cook, and the cost was minimal as well. I made up some rice and along with this was able to feed 3 guys for dinner and still had leftovers for the next day. I used canned diced tomatoes with sweet onions, you can find all types so whatever floats your boat works.Read More »Apricot Chicken and Asparagus Stir Fry

Chicken Cordon Bleu

This recipe is for a quick Chicken Cordon Bleu dinner. It has it’s roots in Switzerland of all places, but was more American-ized in the 50’s. It’s a nice take on the normal baked chicken and makes for a nice entree with some masked potatoes and greenbeans on the side, or, don’t bread the chicken and it makes for a great sammich filler.

Guy Fieri’s Tex Wasabi Menu

  • by

Guy Fieri is one of those tv personalities that I just don’t care for. It’s the look of his that just screams “trying to cling to youth” that I find annoying.  I do give him credit as a cook tho and he does make for entertaining television.  He’s been in the restaraunt game for a while now, and while people hate on him for coming up with some goofy shit, it really is what ‘Murica wants and i can’t blame him for catering his menus to make the most money. So with all the heat Guy Fieri is getting over his new spot in NY,  I figured I’d post the menu to one of his other restaurants, Tex Wasabi, for some ideas. As stupid as “Gringo Sushi” sounds, there’s some good pairings of flavors.

You can find the Full Menu at the Tex Wasabi Site

Street Tacos

I’ve been hooked watching Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. There was an episode he did in Mexico that featured a small roadside cart that was whipping up tons of these street tacos.  After watching it, I was craving these little snacks of goodness. They really are extremely easy to make and very cheap. I got about 3 days worth of food, heavy eating mind you, for about $20, which is alot cheaper than going to a fast food place. You can also swap out the beef for chicken if you like.

Tempura Batter

Here’s a simple recipe for tempura batter. This is a great way to whip up some dinner if you happen to have some shrimp, veggies or even leftover chicken/steak/pork.  It only takes 5 minutes to whisk up the batter and another 5 to cook everything and you’re all set to go.  A quick dinner on the cheap is some tempura chicken on top of Ramen noodles with some hoison sauce and sriracha.

Sweet Apricot Chicken Wings

This sauce is awesome.  It does things to your tastebuds that is only legal in Vegas. It’s an Chinese style sweet/hot sauce that is perfect for chicken wings. You can boost up the heat with more Sriracha or Frank’s Red Hot. This will give you a good amount of marinade/glaze and will work for about 5 pounds of wings.
