  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 c. + 1 Tbsp. flour
  • 3 cloves minced garlic

How to Make It

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake.







What You'll Need



    TOPPING

  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • sliced pineapple (6 canned slices or use fresh)
  • 15-20 maraschino cherries
  • CAKE

  • 1 and 2/3 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, careful not to overmeasure
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature preferred
  • 1/4 cup (60g) yogurt*
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk or buttermilk*
  • 1/4 (60ml) cup pineapple juice (reserved from the canned pineapple or use fresh)
  • 1 Tablespoon (15ml) vanilla extract

How to Make It

  1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  2. Prepare topping first. Place 1/4 cup of melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish or 9x2 inch round cake pan. Make sure it is a deep pan! Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Top with pineapple slices and arrange cherries between the pineapple slices. See my photo for a visual. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Whisk in the sugars vigorously getting out any brown sugar lumps - mixture will be gritty. Whisk in egg, yogurt, milk, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until combined. Slowly mix in dry ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be thick.
  4. Pour/spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake for at 40-48 minutes. Cover loosely with aluminum foil (loosely to avoid the top from sticking to the foil) at the 20 minute mark to avoid browning. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Invert cake on top of a cake stand or a large serving plate. Slice and serve warm, room temperature, or even cold. Try serving with vanilla ice cream - it's a delicious combination. Cover cake and store for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Mexican Meatball Soup








What You'll Need




    For the meatballs:

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup raw white rice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoons dried oregano
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • For the soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 stalks celery, cut in chunks
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped small cubes
  • 3 cups chicken broth (I usually use fat-free and low sodium)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
  • ½ teaspoon died oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup chopped zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • fresh parsley, for garnish

How to Make It

  1. Mix all the meatball ingredients together in a large bowl. Using wet hands, shape the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs by rolling it between your hands until it forms a ball. This should make about 35 meatballs, depending on how big you make them. Keep them in the refrigerator until ready to add to the soup.
  2. In a large, heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften. Pour in the chicken broth, water and can of tomatoes. Stir in oregano and cumin. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the meatballs to the simmering soup, one at a time. Stir very gently, to avoid breaking apart the meatballs. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for another 10 minutes. Stir in zucchini and cook, until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve.
  4. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

What You'll Need




    For the Cake

  • Unsalted butter, room temperature, for pans
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1 tablepoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Coarse salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons safflower oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • For the Caramel

  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Coarse salt
  • 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
  • For the Frosting

    1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder

    2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature

    1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

    Coarse salt

    1 pound semisweet chocolate, chopped, melted, and cooled

    Garnish: flaked sea salt, such as Maldon


How to Make It

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake: Butter three 9-inch round cake pans, and dust with flour, tapping out excess. Sift flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt into the bowl of a mixer. Beat on low speed until just combined. Raise speed to medium, and add eggs, buttermilk, 1 1/2 cups warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  2. Divide batter among pans. Bake until cakes are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of each comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool in pans set on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Turn out cakes onto racks, and let cool completely.
  3. Make the caramel: Combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cook, without stirring, until mixture is dark amber, about 14 minutes. Remove from heat, and carefully pour in cream (mixture will spatter); stir until smooth. Return to heat, and cook until a candy thermometer reaches 238 degrees, about 2 minutes. Pour caramel into a medium bowl, stir in 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and let cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Let cool completely.
  4. Meanwhile, make the frosting: Whisk together cocoa and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water in a bowl until cocoa dissolves. Beat butter, confectioners' sugar, and a generous pinch of coarse salt in a clean bowl with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in melted chocolate and then cocoa mixture until combined. Let stand for 30 minutes before using.
  5. Trim tops of cakes using a serrated knife to create a level surface. Cut each in half horizontally to form 2 layers. Transfer 1 layer to a serving platter, and spread 3/4 cup caramel over top. Top with another cake layer, and repeat with remaining caramel and cake layers, leaving top uncovered. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
  6. Frost top and sides of cake in a swirling motion. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Big Kahuna Teriyaki Sandwiches









What You'll Need

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 slices swiss or provolone cheese
  • 8 thin slices of deli ham (Virginia ham, Black Forest ham, use your favorite)

How to Make It

  1. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Cook over medium heat on the stove OR on the grill, 5-6 minutes on each side until chicken is cooked through. Set aside and allow to cool slightly. Optional: Once cool enough to touch, slice chicken breasts into 1 inch strips - this is what I did but you could also leave the breasts whole if they are the right size for your sandwich buns.
  2. Slice buns open. If desired, spread mayo on each bun.
  3. Place chicken on the bottom of each bun. Top with a slice of cheese, then some teriyaki sauce. Add ham slices, then pineapple, and then top with more teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and if desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Top with remaining bun. Serve warm.

♥ General Tso’s Chicken ♥







What You'll Need



    Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • Dan and I love our food salty, but some people might find 1/4 cup to be too much.
  • If you’re not as salt-loving as us, I would suggest starting low (1 or 2 tsp), dipping/frying a couple pieces of chicken with that, tasting, and modifying accordingly.
  • If it’s too salty, add more cornstarch; if it’s not salty enough, add more salt in small increments.
  • 3 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying, plus 1 tablespoon for stir-frying
  • 5 dried red chilis, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • Scallions, green parts thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Marinade

  • 1 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
  • 2 egg whites
  • Sauce

  • 1/4 cup chicken stock or broth
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste(I didn’t have this, so I substituted 2 tsp cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes)
  • 1 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

How to Make It

  1. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, and egg whites. Coat the chopped chicken in the marinade mixture and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chicken stock, tomato paste, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, sugar, and the 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl or deep plate, mix the cornstarch with salt and pepper. Add the marinated chicken and toss to coat. Shake off any excess before frying.
  4. In a large wok or thick-bottom pan/skillet, heat vegetable oil on high until it begins to bubble and sizzle/pop. Turn heat down to medium, and start frying your chicken.
  5. Working in 4 or 5 batches, add the first batch of chicken cubes (about 6 cubes per batch) and fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all your chicken is cooked.
  6. Turn stove off, drain the oil into a heatproof container and save for discarding. Leave about 2 tbsp oil in your wok.
  7. Reheat the wok or pan/skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped dried chilis and garlic, and stir-fry until just fragrant, about 20 seconds.
  8. Pour in the sauce and stir until it begins to simmer and thicken, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  9. Add fried chicken to the wok/pan and stir well to coat with sauce. Turn off stove, and transfer chicken to a serving dish.
  10. Garnish with chopped scallions. Serve with white rice and vegetables.

Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli








What You'll Need



  • 1 lb. boneless, beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 cup beef consumme or beef broth
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • Frozen Broccoli Florets (I used one bag)
  • White or brown rice, cooked

How to Make It

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef consume, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic.
  2. Lay the beef strips in the crockpot and pour the sauce over, tossing the strips to coat.
  3. Turn the crockpot on low and cook for about 6 hours. Mine was ready at 5. You don’t want to cook the beef too long or it will start to shred.
  4. When it is just about done, take 4 Tbsp of the sauce and whisk it in a small bowl with the cornstarch. I added about 2 extra tsps of cornstarch to thicken it up a little bit more. Slowly stir this into the crockpot. I added the broccoli in at this point so that it could get heated through. You want to let it cook an additional 30 minutes so that the sauce can thicken and frozen broccoli can cook. You don’t want to add the broccoli until the very end or it will be mushy.
  5. Serve over white rice and enjoy!!
