Sorry

Due to a large amount of school work, 2 a week must take a short break.

Week 8: Low(er) fat chicken parm

I don't have an oven so I had to do this on the stove. First start the sauce. You'll need:
A can of chopped tomatoes
A small jar of tomato puree
one onion
oregano, parsley and basil to taste
3 chopped garlic clove
2 tbsp olive oil

first cook the chopped onion in olive oil until soft. Then add the garlic until it is soft as well. Then add the rest of the ingrediants and cook on low for up to an hour.

For the chicken, dip it in egg and bread crumbs and instead of adding oil to the pan to cook, just brush a little bit on each side to cook. When it is cooked, if I had an oven a would pop it in the oven until the cheese melts but since i don't, put them on the frying pan on low with the cheese on top until it melts

Week 7: Chili

I forgot to take a picture of this one:

2 lbs. ground beef or ground chicken
1 large onion, chopped
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 16 ounce cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 16 ounce can tomato puree
1 small can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon dried basil
j2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons steak sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt

This one is easy but not amazing (good, but not amazing.)
first cook the onions with the peppers and meat until cooked and drain
next add all other ingredients and cook for about 30 minutes.

Week 7: Thai Ginger Soup

I haven't posted anything in a long time, but that isn't because I haven't been cooking.
Here is my recipe for Thai Ginger Soup. SOOO good.

This serves 2 for an app or 1 for an entree

1 can cocanut soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp thinly sliced or diced galangal (or ginger)
4 tbsp lemon grass
1/4 cup lime juice
a splash of fish sauce
4-6 hot thai peppers
3-5 Kaffir lime leaves
a small bunch of cilantro
OPTIONAL
chicken cut into small pieces
1 serving of very thin rice noodles
I made mine without chicken and with the noodles

So, first boil the galangal and the lemon grass for a few minutes. At this point add the coconut milk. Once it is hot, add the chicken and all other ingredients except for the lime and cilantro and cook on low until the chicken is cooks. If you want to add the noodles, you need to cook them for about 4 or 5 minutes so add them accordingly. Once you remove the soup from the heat, mix in the lime and the cilantro
Remeber, don't eat the kaffir lime, the lemongrass or the peppers. If you eat the kaffir lime of the lemongrass, you won't die but if you eat the pepper, you might very well cry.
