Three Delicious Recipes from Tia

On February 2, 2010, in In the Kitchen, by Glenda Embree

I love talking recipes with my daughter, Tia, and she just sent these three that I have been anxiously waiting to try.   Her email, this evening, said that the first two recipes are ones she has made for her own family, with great success.  I happen to know she was almost barred from exiting a church potluck this weekend because she was trying to take her cake pan home, which still contained a few delectable Rocky Road Bars.  After surrendering the goodies, she was allowed to pass.  – lol  -  The last recipe is for a yummy bar cookie that we tasted at a Christmas program in December.  Her sweet, clever husband was able to wrangle the recipe from a co-worker, so we all have a chance to try making them on our own.

Tia says she doubles this first recipe and it usually leaves enough leftovers for the girls for lunch the next day.

Easy Chicken Lo Mein

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil, sesame or peanut oil   (I’ve used olive or vegetable oil)
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin slices   (I’ve used left over turkey)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or teriyaki sauce
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger or 1 teaspoon powder
  • (1) 3-ounce package chicken flavor ramen noodle soup
  • (1) 1-lb bag frozen mixed oriental vegetables
  • 1/4 cup water

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until no longer pink.
  2. Add vegetables and lid. Cook until vegetables are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, cook the noodles (without the flavoring packet) according to package directions. Drain.
  4. Add soy sauce, garlic, ginger and seasoning packet to water. Mix well. Pour over chicken and vegetables, add noodles and toss to mix.

    I went to make the Lo Mein for supper last night and discovered that I bought a box of Ramen soup in a cup instead of the regular packages. I was going to make it work but realized that the seasoning packet was already mixed into the noodles. So, maybe we’ll have it tonight after I get to the store. Now I have to figure out what to do with 6 soups in a cup.

  3. I just got the chance to make the Rocky Road Bars, this afternoon, and they are delicious! (Of course, you know I used two cups of chocolate chips instead of one. -lol- I know, I have a problem.) Was able to upload a better picture, too.

  4. Had the Lo Mein for supper, tonight. Yummy and ultra fast and simple. The perfect “quick meal” before sending the kids off to AWANA.

      Sue, yes, we have. They are delicious. The first time we had them was at a church social. We had to track down the recipe and make them at home after that.
