I love it when a dish is both quick and easy to prepare. To make things even faster, you could mix up the seasoned flour and pre-chop the pecans and just keep them in tupperware containers until you're ready to cook.

Simple dish that's good for using up leftover rice. I threw in shredded leftover chicken since I had that available but you can omit that if you don't have it or don't want it. This is an easily adaptable recipe. Just toss in whatever leftover vegetables and meats you might like eating with fried rice.

I had never eaten stuffed cabbage before but it sounded pretty good to me. Plus I had leftover wonton filling and napa cabbage from making the wontons earlier so I googled for a recipe. Tasted pretty good in the end and took about 30 ( Read more... )

Michael made this chicken for dinner and the parmesan-crusted chicken skin was divine. I made a side dish of honey-roasted root vegetables that tasted almost like candy since it was so sweet.
