Recipe Wednesday

Today is Curtis’ first Day off for this week. AWESOME! :) He is going in to CCA CADC to do some fingerprinting and background stuff. He has to wait until CCA Red Rock clears him to transfer, but hopefully it will be soon. (We could really use the pay increase right about now!!!) ;)

Today’s Recipe is: (drum roll please!!)

Orange Pudding Cake

Ingredients:

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
4 eggs (can use just egg whites)
1 cup vegetable oil
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and mandarin oranges with juice. Beat until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
4. To make the topping: In a large bowl, beat together whipped topping, pineapple with juice and dry pudding mix until blended. Spread on cake.

This recipe was easy to make and so delicious. I made it on Saturday for when we played cards (Pinochle) with my parents. YUM! Such a refreshing, light hit!! The mandarin oranges just melt into the cake batter as it cooks in the oven. So DELICIOUS!!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I found this recipe from my friend Sophia. My changes are in parenthesis.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground chicken breast (or substitute ground beef/pork/turkey etc)
1/2 medium purple onion, minced (I have to keep onion separate as the men in our home do not partake of onions under any circumstances, unless I can blenderize it until they know no differently)
salt and pepper
2 large cloves of garlic (I am garlic girl and added 3-4 cloves)
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (I keep fresh ginger in the freezer for stuff like this)

Directions:

Heat the chicken, onion, salt and pepper in a large non-stick skillet or wok. Cook until the chicken is done. (Since I had a pre-cooked chicken, I sautéed the onions in a tablespoon of oil, then added the chicken and cooked it a bit more.) Add the garlic and ginger and continue cooking until the onions and chicken are cooked.

In a separate bowl, mix the following. ingredients that are listed. Then put it in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds until you can stir it until it's smooth. (I like to use a saucepan and warm it up slowly and evenly)

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. sesame oil
2 1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. peanut butter
1/2 Tbsp. honey
4 tsp. Rice Vinegar
1/2 tsp. chili garlic sauce
dash fresh pepper

Directions:

Pour this sauce over the skillet mixture and stir.
Then:

Ingredients:

3 green onions
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
12 outer Lettuce Leaves

Directions:

Add chopped green onion and peanuts, the cook until the green onions are soft.. Then just put everything together.

Enjoy! :) Thanks Sophia for another YUMMY recipe!! :) This is on our Weekly Menu for this Friday. YUM!! :)

Make it a great one!!
