#Recipe: Simple Kid Friendly Mini Oreo Cheesecakes

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.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 packet (1 ounce) Sun-Bird® Beef and Broccoli seasoning
  • 3/4 lb of boneless beef (your choice, chunk, flank, round or sirloin steak)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 pound broccoli (thinly sliced stalks, cut florets in pieces)
  • 1 large onion cut in pieces

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix the seasoning, soy sauce and water in a small bowl and set it to the side.
  2. In large skillet, heat oil and add beef and stir-fry until browned.
  3. Add broccoli and onions and stir-fry
  4. Add seasoning mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute or until thickened. Sauce will thicken.

Recipe: 30 Minute Cajun Chicken http://www.afewfriesshort.com/recipe-30-minute-cajun-chicken/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=recipe-30-minute-cajun-chicken http://www.afewfriesshort.com/recipe-30-minute-cajun-chicken/#comments Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:00:18 +0000 Toni-Lynn http://www.afewfriesshort.com/?p=1716

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.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Hellmann’s or Best Foods Mayonnaise
1-1/2 Tbsp. Cajun spice
1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 oz. ea.)
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs

Directions:
Combine mayonnaise, cajun spice and 1/4 cup of the cheese. Spread on chicken, then sprinkle with bread crumbs and parsley. Bake at 425°, 20 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; heat 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted. That’s it!

TIP: My sons found this a tad spicy so feel free to cut back on the Cajun Spice a little if you like.
