Holy Moly and Tasty Tuesday

March has certainly come in like a lion.  The wind has been wildly blowing for a couple of days now, and I am surprised I have not seen trees or animals flying by.  Prior to yesterday was actually warm and humid to the point of being uncomfortable, but the wind has taken care of that.  Brrrr.

For today's Tasty Tuesday, I am sharing a yummy and satisfying hot vegetable casserole with the main attraction:

Layered Hot Dish

Ingredients:

1 large package of frozen broccoli and cauliflower

1 can cream of celery soup (do not add water)

1 8-ounce jar of Cheez Whiz

1 can sliced water chestnuts

1 can French fried onion rings 

Instructions:

Layer ingredients in greased casserole dish according to the order listed above.  The French fried onion rings will go on the top.  Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  I cover the casserole for the first 30 minutes of baking and then remove cover and bake for the remaining 15 minutes so onions can get crunchy.

A nice hot comforting dish to compliment a main dish, or you can have this as a meal in itself if you prefer.

Tasty Tuesday

Wow, what a week.  The show was on Saturday.  Over 3,000 people came through, and sales were better than they ever have been.  I was not sure what to expect with this being an election week and all.  I am a bit sore still from lugging around boxes of my creations and from being at the table all day.

I took my mom with me today as I went sourcing, gorgeous November day, no jacket required. 

Anyway, time to focus on the recipe.  I enjoy many kinds of Asian food, and I have been craving egg rolls, chow mein, beef and broccoli, and more types of Asian food lately.

So, to hopefully help satisfy the Asian food cravings, I am sharing a recipe for:

Fried Rice

Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons Salad Oil

4 cups cold cooked rice

1 cup frozen green peas, thawed, rinsed, and drained of excess moisture.

1 cup shredded or diced cooked pork, beef, or shrimp

2 eggs, beaten

2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce

1/2 teaspoon sugar

salt to taste (optional)

6 green onions, including tops, thinly sliced or chopped

Instructions:

1)  Saute rice in oil over medium heat for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

2)  Add meat and peas to the rice.  

3)  Pour beaten eggs over rice mixture.

4)  Cook, stirring often, until egg is set.

5)  Mix Soy Sauce with the sugar and salt,

6)  Sprinkle onions and pour Soy Sauce over the top of the rice mixture.

7)  Stir until blended and then serve.
