I have such a hard time picking just one thing from each week - I could do this almost daily, but I won't put you through that. Last week's fave was a modified version of Rachael Ray's Chipotle Cashew Chicken. Since you know how much I don't like to go to the store when I am making dinner, here is what I did with what I had:
I made regular rice (wasn't in the mood to make it all fancy like).

I wanted to make some kind of chicken - and I had cashews, so I thought I would do with what I had for the rest of it. For the chicken, I didn't have: steak seasoning, bell pepper, water chestnuts, or chipotle peppers (I know, what is the point of making Chipotle Chicken if you don't even have chipotle peppers). Other than that, I did what it said - plus adding salt & pepper (instead of steak seasoning). Our version was much more simple, but tasted pretty darn good. I didn't mind not actually having the heat that the chipotle peppers would have brought to the table - so I guess we will just have to call it Cashew Chicken. Oh, and DS loved it (maybe it was the honey and pure maple syrup).
For a dessert recipe that was fun to make, but you have to love marshmallows to like it, check here.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny. Last week I had some cashews so I thought I should make cashew chicken. I didn't find the Rachael Ray one and I wish I had. I never thought about trying maple syrup. The soy sauce kind of made it salty and the syrup and honey would have been just the touch. I never have Chipotle on hand and she uses it a lot. I haven't decided if I really like it or not. Thanks for the recipe, I still have cashews so I will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I never have chipotle - nor do I even know if I really like it or not. RR definitely does!!
