Lamb Shank Stew

We put these tiny chopped up noodles in, which ended up sorta looking like expanded rice. This dish tastes better than it looks. It was served with sliced sourdough bread dipped in olive oil. yumyum! This is pretty much a spinoff of the Beef Bourguignon recipe.

NY Steak n Salad

NY Steak with Salad. Easy NY Steak recipe can be found here. Salad is just green leaf lettuce and chopped tomatoes with sliced cucumbers on the side. What a pretty yummy dinner! :D

Hot Wings n Pancakes

for breakfast!

Boyfriend bakes the wings in the oven at 500°F for about 40 minutes or until nicely browned and cooked. In a separate bowl, he mixes Frank's Hot Sauce with a pat of melted unsalted butter and a bit of liquid smoke. Mix in the wings and make sure all wings are coated nicely.

Then enjoy!

I also made pancakes! The recipe is derived from my waffles recipe. The only difference is I added about a 1/2 cup of honey and a tsp of baking soda and a cup of water. The consistency should be like honey, a bit runny but still a bit gloopy. If the consistency is like water, add more flour. If the consistency is like that of a waffle batter, add more water. If you like crispy pancakes, add oil to your pan and pour batter on top of it. If you like soft pancakes, don't add oil to your non-stick pan. It'll brown really nicely. When there's a lot of bubbles, flip your pancakes. Bf and I really enjoyed our special Sunday breakfast. :D

NY Steaks

My bf always cooks the steaks because he knows how to get them done just right. Before placing them in the heated cast iron, bf seasons it with lawry's salt. He lets them brown in the cast iron to get those beautiful grill marks, then places the iron skillet in the oven to be baked to perfection, medium rare. (Mine is medium since I can't handle medium rare... that's just too rare for me).

This was our lunch. All meat. :) The sauce is part ketchup, part AI sauce. Goes great with fries too! Imagine Homer drooling, because that's what's happening right now for all meat lovers. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Breaded Fish

Okay, I think I've got my process for breaded fish down! Here's the link for the first time I breaded the fish and it came out super delicious - moist on the inside, nice n crunchy on the outside: http://foodiestuffers.blogspot.com/2012/04/breaded-fish.html. Now, I need to be more consistent with cooking. This time it stayed in the pan for about 6-7 minutes with the first minute under a lid with a bit of water. And when I flipped it over, that side cooked closer to about 4-5 minutes. Yumyum! Serve with lima beans and brown rice for a complete meal.

Noodles!

 We had soup leftover from last night. It was too good to throw away so my dad made more noodles for lunch. There was still a bit of lamb and cabbage left too. Dad added broccoli and sliced fishcake. YUM!

There was a small bowl of noodles leftover as well. Instead of placing it with the rest of the noodles, dad pan fried them. I must say, when my dad brought me the fried noodles, I was surprised because my dad's not much of a cook. And the noodles were quite satisfying! Thanks dad!

Salmon n egg burger

My daddy made this for lunch for me. My daddy is awesome. It's basically a salmon patty with an egg, sliced cheese and lettuce and mayo on toasted wheat bread with a side of kettle chips. Om nom nom . The best thing about not working is eating delish! lunches.

Lamb Noodle Soup

We usually use this brand of noodles whenever we're eating noodles with soup. You cook it pretty much the same as pasta only you don't add salt to the water like some people do with pasta.

Using the noodle water, I usually just add either a can of chicken broth or add more water and chicken bouillon. Then add a long dash of soy sauce. But for the best noodle soup, also add a nice big dollop of the above hot sauce. 

Add lamb slices, sliced cabbage and chopped carrots for your perfectly deliciously noodle soup. As a side note, I cooked the carrots in a separate pot because my bf loves his carrots pretty much melt in your mouth soft. It was the first thing I did, then the noodles. And once I took out the noodles, I blanched the cabbage in the noodle water and then placed them on top of the noodles. Then I cooked the frozen lamb slices in the soup. (If the lamb slices had been fresh, I would've blanched them too and then placed them next to the cabbage. They would've cooked more when I poured the hot soup over it). Lastly, add the carrots! And enjoy!
