Pammie's Chicken Lo Mein

This dish was so easy to make and very versatile. Because it is homemade you can control the sodium much better than take out. I hope you try this recipe.

My recipe for Pammie's Chicken Lo Mein is as follows:

In a large saucepan add 2 T. olive oil, 1 sliced onion and 1 chicken breast, sliced, cook until lightly browned and onions are caramelized. Add 1 head of broccoli florets, 1/2 c. carrot slices, 1/2 c. corn, 1/2 c. peas. Cook until tender. 

In a small bowl mix the sauce together as follows:

1/2 c. soy sauce, 1 T. orange marmalade, 1 T. minced garlic, 1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes, 2 T. cornstarch, and salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 c. water. Mix well and add to vegetable mixture until thickened. Then add 3 c. cooked spaghetti. Mix well and serve.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did tonight for dinner.

Items needed:  1/3 lb. bacon,  1 pkg. stuffing mushrooms, remove the stem, 1 pkg. chopped spinach, thawed and drained, 2 eggs & 3 T. heavy cream mixed, 4 T. Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste.

In a large skillet cook bacon, remove bacon to plate, drain grease and save. Add mushrooms and 2 T. grease to skillet, heat over medium,  brown on both sides. Add a little crumbled bacon inside each mushroom cap, top with a little chopped spinach, pour egg mixture over mushrooms, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover with lid and cook until egg is set. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place mushrooms on a platter, chop egg mixture and sprinkle remaining eggs over mushrooms and serve.

Veggie Friendly Dinner

 I am still down in Florida helping my mother recuperate, making dinner needs to be simple, so I made some of my favorite simple veggies for dinner. Try it I think you will like it.

Just sauté some asparagus in butter until browned add salt and pepper to taste. Heat some red cabbage, one of my childhood favorites. Boil some red potatoes sliced in half, cook until tender, drain. Add some butter, sour cream, salt/pepper and chopped fresh chives.

Enjoy!
