Hey Good Lookin'...Whatcha' Got Cookin'??

FOUR years since my last blog post?? So, this blog has adapted A LOT  since I first started it. I started it for fun and then quickly forgot about it. Yes, yes, I hear you Italian people: forget about it!!! Then I had an assignment in college to post weekly on a blog for my summer BYU "Media and Adolescence" class. I dug up my old blog and posted silly, half-thoughts (...to get credit).
Now I will be using it to store recipes and notes to myself (note-to-self-s??).  Anyway, let's begin with these lovely recipes:

Orange Chicken Stir Fry

Asparagus, mushroom, oranges, ginger...what's not to love? I love that the sauce is so REAL, the bright, orange flavor really comes through.  Next time I will serve the sauce on the side because it is a little rich. I think it will work better as a drizzle! I also added orange zest to the before juicing the oranges. YUM.

Taco Skillet

Ground beef or turkey, bell pepper, green chiles, corn, black beans...etc! I added 1/2 cup tomato sauce to give it a creamier texture. Lots of vitamins all in one dish and great to make or prep ahead. Can be served lots of ways, but it was fun to serve in these "scoop" tortilla chips!
