Kung PAO Chicken

The hubs tried out his skills last night in Chinese cooking!

The recipe was from one of his new cookbooks.

It gets ⭐⭐⭐⭐from us!! 

It was so good and tasted just like what we order at our favorite Chinese Restaurant. We will definitely be making this regularly.

Also, my Orchid is in bloom and is just beautiful so had to share!

Happy Monday!

Banana Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Last week the school cafeteria had another box of over ripe bananas and shared some with the staff. The small bananas have dark spots but still nice enough for baking. SO, you guessed it, I helped myself to a half dozen or so. 

I knew exactly what I wanted to make this time. 

This Banana Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe is one we really like. It calls for sour cream and pecans which, in my opinion, is what makes it great. At least we think so. 

If you would like to try it you can find the recipe here. Enjoy!

Happy Monday!

Notre Dame Cupcakes

Cupcakes for the National Championship Game.

Lo-Mein Stir fry

Mr. Wonderful made a new recipe for dinner recently

and

it was SO good!

Lots of fresh veggies . . . . . 

 . . . and some shrimp.

Then a little spicy sauce . . .

 . . . stir fry noodles . . .

. . . and wal~la ! 

It doesn't get better than that!

A bowl full of dinner & . . .

. . . the BEST Lo-Mein Stir Fry. . .YUM!

Happy Thursday!

Fajita Night

Another Blackstone dinner night. 

This time it was Fajitas. YUM!

An easy dinner to make and clean up which is always a Bonus!

We like them spicy so we always add a little kick to our recipe which Mr. Wonderful really appreciates.

We also prefer to top ours off with Avocado slices, a sprinkle of Cilantro and some hot salsa on the side. 

Fajitas never tasted so good!

(at least we think so 😉)

Happy Wednesday!
