becoming fatties...

our love for food may be unhealthy.

but we do. oh so much.

once metabolism slows down, we're going to be huge.

check out these recent finds:

philly steak green pepper:

basically, just saute roast beef with garlic, put a piece of cheese in the pepper, then the beef, then the cheese on top!  

bake at 400 for 15 minutes or so.

 sweet and sour chicken:

chicken:

-cut 2 chicken breasts into small cubes

-coat each piece with corn starch (i put the pieces in a ziploc with about 1/4 cup corn starch to get them coated)

-dip in egg (i used 1 beaten egg and actually poured it into the ziploc and mixed it around).

-heat 1/3 cup oil and cook chicken, sprinkling a little salt on it

-put in baking dish, cover with about 1/2 the sauce, and cook at 350 for 15 minutes. then mix it up and bake for 15 more minutes.

sauce:

3/4 cup white sugar

4 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon salt

about 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar

about 1/8 cup rice vinegar

(this makes double sauce, half to pour for the baking time and then more to use for dipping!)

we also had asian green beans (just cooked with rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and olive oil) and rice. 

one of the better things i've ever made!

also, i forgot to take a picture, but i made some decently good 

apple oatmeal muffins...

here's the recipe:

mix 2 eggs, 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup applesauce. stir in (just a little) 1 cup flour, 1 cup quick oats, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon cinnamon. add in 2 cups of apples (no skin). 

divide into greased muffin tins, bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes.

eat it up.
