    Shrimp Fried Rice

    Shrimp Fried Rice is one of our favorite dishes when we get take-out.  After the success of our Japanese Steakhouse Fried Rice, we decided to tackle our other favorite fried rice recipe.  Like our other fried rice recipe, this one uses day old rice and cooks super fast.  The fried rice that you get from…

    Bourbon Chicken

    I was walking through the mall the other day when a random lady ran up to me and offered me some bourbon chicken. I usually do not take random food from strangers, but she looked like she worked at the restaurant at the food court so that was good enough for me.  I am glad…

    Last week I visited the Upper King Street Farmers Market again.  This time I picked up some Free-Range Pork from Cibola Farms.  I love pork so I scoured the market for something else that I could eat with it.  Then I found some fresh Broccoli and a brown onion.  The perfect base for a Pork…

    Spring is here and it is time to do a little spring cleaning. So, today I decided to clear out my pantry. What is the best way to clear out a pantry you ask? Why it is a stir-fry. You can throw in whatever veggies, meat or random ingredients that you have.  This is slight…
