Recipe: Sun-Bird Beef and Broccoli
I am not a big vegetable eater so trying a dish with broccoli wasn’t exactly my idea interesting. I think if you are making an attempt to eat more vegetables, this isn’t were to start
This classic Asian beef and broccoli is easy to prepare with Sun-Bird Seasoning Mixes. These Seasoning Mixes can be found at your local grocery store in the Asian food section. My closest store is Kroger and they sell them and are really cheap. If you don’t eat beef or broccoli, substitute chicken and fresh cut green beans for beef and broccoli.
Recipe: 30 Minute Cajun Chicken

Think you can’t cook? Do you watch those “30 Minute Meal” shows hoping to pick up something fast and easy? It’s true, you really can make something fast and simple in 30 minutes. I think this recipe would go great with some corn on the cob! It only takes 10 minutes to put together (It took me 7!) ans 20 minutes to bake. This is a much faster option to my previous Cajun Chicken recipe. I am loving these recipes so much for days when I don’t have a lot of time or I just don’t feel like getting into a long dinner process. My favorite part, not many dishes! I love these fast recipes because the chicken stays so moist. I hate dried out chicken.

Recipe: Fast and Easy Mini Monkey Bread

I have always wanted to make Monkey Bread and I am now getting around to it. This are so easy that it’s something to let the kids help you make! The neighbor actually came and knocked on my apartment door to ask me what I was baking a bit ago because apparently the entire hallway smells good lol.
If you are wondering why mine may look a little different than the instructions, I picked up the Pillsbury Grands biscuits on accident so I worked with it. Be sure you pick up just the regular biscuits. they come 5 to a pack NOT 8. They came out so delicious even with the wrong ones. I will try it again with the correct ones and post a picture at a later time.
