HAWAIIAN STYLE TERIYAKI CHICKEN

by Rebecca June 9, 2020
written by Rebecca

This Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Chicken is a popular Japanese-American dish that is super easy to make and tastes better than takeout. So if you’re craving for it but too lazy to go out then I would suggest making it yourself, or if you have company coming over in a few days, this can be prepared easily and ahead. I’m sure this will not disappoint and everyone will be asking for the recipe. These look vibrant, pretty, and are so ready to go onto the grill.

Ingredients

3 pounds chicken thigh ( boneless, skinless )

1 cup of soy sauce

1 cup of water

1 cup of sugar

5 clove(s) garlic ( 3-5 cloves, crushed )

1 ginger root ( 2-3 slices, cut thin and lengthwise )

HOW TO MAKE HAWAIIAN STYLE TERIYAKI CHICKEN

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the water and soy sauce. Then, dissolve the sugar in the liquid.

Step 2: Stir in desired amounts of ginger and garlic. And, add the chicken.

Step 3: Soak the meat in the marinade for at least 24 hours. Although, you can soak the meat in the marinade for up to 3 days.

Step 4: If you want to eat the meat sooner, you can also boil the chicken in the sauce right after you make it.

Step 5: But if you chose to marinate the meat for a few days, you can just cook the meat on the grill. If you are cooking a lot, make sure that the grill is hot enough and stick the meat in on the grill.

Step 6: Add a bit of fresh teriyaki sauce to the pot. It will help steam the grilled chicken to assure the meat ends up very tender and juicy. Best served over buttery rice.

Note: The ratio for the sauce is the basic ratio, you would need to increase it depends on how much meat you will soak. Make sure that there is enough marinade so you can stir the meat freely. If in case, it’s hard to stir just add more sauce.

“Lazy Man’s” Pie- Peach Cobbler

by Rebecca June 8, 2020
written by Rebecca

Today we had a family picnic. The kids were so happy. I can’t remember the last time we had such an amazing day. It’s a fun day for all of us. The weather was good, laughter filled the entire picnic area, and we bonded over this crazy delicious pie-peach cobbler. This dessert was the highlight of our day. The kids specifically requested to have this. We gobbled all the way through. This pie-peach cobbler is my family’s favorite, although, I only make this on special occasions. I called it a lazy man’s pie-peach cobbler because it is way to easy to make. You just need to mix the ingredients, and when you add the fruits there is no need to stir as the batter will rise and absorb them. Pop this into the oven and wait until it’s done. It’s a perfect dessert, definitely deserves a 5-star, and it’s a keeper! Try this and you’ll see what I’m babbling about. I assure you this will make your day. Have a fruitful day you all!

Ingredients

1 stick of butter or margarine

1 cup of milk

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

A dash of salt

1-quart of sweetened fruit (peaches, cherries, blackberries, etc.)

How to make Pie- Peach Cobbler

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Melt the butter in a baking pan.

Step 3: Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk in a bowl.

Step 4: Pour the mixture over the melted butter.

Step 5: Spread the fruit over the batter but do not stir. When the batter rises, it will just absorb the fruit flavor.

Step 6: Place the baking pan inside the preheated oven and bake the pie for an hour. When done, remove from the oven and serve immediately. Great with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

The Absolute BEST Crockpot Beef Stroganoff Recipe

by Rebecca June 8, 2020
written by Rebecca

This is another incredible crockpot recipe to add to your long list of menu. The tender meat, creamy sauce with mushroom is perfect for a weeknight dinner with family and friends. A crockpot is way to easy to make but takes time to cook. Best suited for mothers like me as we get to do other things. Just mix everything in one pot and leave it to cook. Before you know it dinner is ready!

I cannot count how many times I’ve made this Beef Stroganoff and it’s always a hit every time! No leftovers, just dirty dishes. A straight 5-star dish! The meat effortlessly falls apart, and juicy in the inside, with a deep flavor that you cannot get elsewhere. A melt in your mouth dish with a magnificent sauce that is perfect for a regular weeknight dinner with family and great to share with guests.

Ingredients

2 pounds cubed stew meat

2 cans Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup

1 largish onion diced

2-3-4 tables of Worcestershire

1/2 cup water

8 oz of cream cheese

a couple of dashes of Garlic Salt (1 teaspoon)

couple dashes of Hot Paprika

How to make Crockpot Beef Stroganoff

Step 1: Place the mushroom soup, diced onion, Worcestershire, water, garlic salt, and a couple of dashes of hot paprika in a slow cooker. Stir until well combined.

Step 2: Add in the meat mixture and mix until incorporated.

Step 3: Cook for 8 hours in low.

Step 4: Meanwhile, cut the cream cheese into cubes.

Step 5: Turn the crockpot on high and scatter the cubed cream cheese on top of the mixture. Mix until incorporated. Put the lid back and cook for 10 minutes more.

Step 6: Place any leftover inside the fridge and when ready to eat just reheat on the stove. You can add the cream cheese 10 minutes before serving. This is great when chilled as the meat becomes so much more tender when reheated.
