Beef teriyaki with bell pepper and rice noodles

Hard to mark beef teriyaki better- unless you upgrade the rice to rice noodles. Something about that texture and slurpability- right? Add in some green veggies and you are golden.

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper

1lime

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

5 ounces pad Thai noodles

1/2 pound sliced sirloin steak

salt, pepper, oil

Method:

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil.

Halve pepper, discard stem and seeds, and cut into thin strips.

Into a small bowl, squeeze 2 teaspoons lime juice; cut any remaining lime into wedges. Add teriyaki, soy, and 1⁄4 cup water, stirring to combine. Set aside.

Add noodles to saucepan with boiling salted water; cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until al dente. Drain noodles, rinse under cold water, then toss with 1 teaspoon oil. Set aside.

While noodles cook, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium- high heat. Add peppers and cook until softened and browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Pat steaks very dry; thinly slice and season all over with salt and pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over high. Add steak and cook, without stirring, until well browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Add chopped garlic and cook, stirring, until cooked through, about 3 minutes more.

To skillet with steak, add noodles, peppers, and teriyaki mixture. Cook, tossing frequently, until noodles are warmed through and coated in sauce.

Serve teriyaki beef and pepper stir-fry with any lime wedges alongside for squeezing over top. Enjoy!

Samosas with Yogurt Sauce

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro. Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy!

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar. My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together. I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 sticks of

Raspberry Pomegranate Jam

Tis the season to be making homemade gifts! Pomegranates are in season and their juice is a festive deep ruby red color. I knew I had to make them into a jam to give away. Straight pomegranate flavor is a little tart for me; I added raspberries for the texture of their seeds and their sweetness. This is a very simple recipe to make and will yield 6 to 7 8 ounces jars of jam or 12 to 14 4 ounce jars, if you like to give away sample sizes during the holidays. Enjoy! Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups pomegranate juice 1 cup mashed raspberries 7 cups sugar 1 tablespoon butter 1 1/75 ounce package Sure Jell Method: Sterilize your jars and lids. Set aside. In a heavy bottomed large stock pot, add the pomegranate juice, raspberries and butter. Mix well. Add in the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil then stir in the Sure Jell. Allow to boil hard for 1 minutes. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle into the sterile jars, twist on the lids and pr
