Mango Hot Mustard Sauce
½ c pureed mango (1 med mango)
3 tbs lime juice
2 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs Coleman’s mustard
2 tsp rice vinegar
Salt to taste
Mix and`blend with stick blender. Let sit for 2 hours at least.
Had 14 june, 2010 with grilled pork. It was alright, but I think just slathering Coleman’s mustard onto the pork would have had the same effect.

Not Great Pancakes
1 c walnuts, processesd
1 c Bob’s Red Mill 10 grain hot cereal
1 c oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1.5 c milk
0.5 c fat free greek yogurt
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla
Made 12 june, 2010 before Brenna’s 2nd dance recital. The cereal mix made it kind of crunchy and, all in all, I wasn’t wild about it. There’s a grain in the cereal that gave it a flavor that I didn’t love, but I’m not sure which one.

Roasted Parmesan Broccoli
1 package of broccoli florets
3 tbs olive oil
1 c Parmesan
Preheat oven to 450°F. Dump broccoli into roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast broccoli until crisp-tender and stalks begin to brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and toss with cheese. We had this with the parmesan chicken bites, but there wasn’t actually much left over because I ate about half of it while I was cooking.
This has become a favorite and we have it at least 2x a week! A bag of frozen broccoli works just as well and takes makes it even easier.

Parmesan Chicken Bites
4 chicken breasts, sliced
2 c parmesan
¼ c Montreal Chicken seasonings
2 eggs
Cover slices in eggs. Dredge in parmesan mixed with chicken seasoning. Fry in olive oil on medium high head. Made this with the kids 9 june, 2010 and Brenna loved dredging the chicken. Couldn’t get enough of it. And she said it tasted better than chicken nuggets.
I had meant to add breadcrumbs, but forgot and it turned out pretty well and much more South Beach Diet friendly

Easy Tomato Sauce
1 big can of crushed (or diced) tomatoes
2 cans (6 oz) of tomato paste
1 tbs garlic salt
3 tbs dried oregano, crushed
1/8 c balsamic vinegar
½ c parmesan cheese
Mix and heat through. Blend with stick blender if desired. We’ve made this dozens of times. It’s not as fancy as long simmered sauces, but it’s better than store bought!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 c pecans, processed to a thick powder
½ c white whole wheat
2 c oats
1/8 tsp baking soda
½ c butter (1 stick)
½ c brown sugar
1 egg
1 tbs vanilla
¼ c vegetable oil
1 c chocolate chips
Bake on a greased or nonstick cookie sheet at 325 F for 12 mins. Made with the kids 8 june, 2010 at the beginning of summer break. They turned on the Kitchenaid (with help) for the first time!
The cookies were burned on the bottom and not cooked through. Not enough bite. Maybe walnuts and no oil next time? After the first batch was baked, I threw in a handful of unground oats into what was left. That worked much, better, though they were still a little light on flavor. More vanilla?

Slaw with Creamy Asian Dressing
¼ c mayo
2 tbs rice vinegar
1 tbs mirin
1 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs dried red pepper flakes
1 package coleslaw mix (cabbage)
This recipe is adapted from Bon Appetit, Y’All a great cookbook that, in part, inspired my project.
Made 8 june, 2010. I didn’t think it was flavorful enough, but Will liked it. Served it with soy poached chicken. The leftovers made a pretty good chicken salad, though.

Soy Poached Chicken
2 pounds chicken breasts
3 c water
1/3 c dark soy sauce(recipe called for ¾ c, but we were short)
1/3 c Chinese black vinegar
4 tbs chopped ginger
4 large garlic cloves
4 tbs lemon juice
1 tsp sesame oil
¼ tsp hot chile flakes
Simmer liquid ingredients. Add chicken breasts and simmer gently for 6-8 mins. Turn off heat and let stand for at least 30 mins. This chicken came out a bit dry and not as flavorful as I like. Might be worth trying again.
This was from John Ash's book.

Peanut Sauce
1 can light coconut milk
1 c peanut butter (crunchy is more authentic, but I always have creamy on hand)
1 tbs fish sauce
2 tbs red curry paste
1 tbs lime juice
¼ c soy sauce
1 tbs sesame oil
1 onion
2 tbs garlic
2 tbs rice wine vinegar
Sri racha sauce (Rooster Sauce) to taste
Saute onion in olive oil until tender. Add ingredients and heat through. Serve on pork or chicken and choice of veggie.
This is a basic I've been making since college. I think the first time I cobbled one together was in a tiny apartment in Oregon.

Crunchy Tomatillo Avocado Salsa
10 tomatillos, chopped
1 yellow onion chopped and sauteed
1 tbs garlic
1 c ‘guacamole’ (it’s basically squished avocado in packages from Costco)
10 jalapenos slices, diced
Dried oregano and salt, to taste
Set aside a handful of the tomatillos and mix the rest of the ingredients with a stick blender until desired texture. Add the tomatillos that were set aside to give a chunkier consistency. Had with chicken on tacos for dinner 7 june 2010. Tasty!

Black and Blue Jam
4 c blueberries
1 c blackberries
1 pouch freezer pectin
1 c sugar
Mashed berries with potato masher. Mixed sugar and pectin together, then mixed in berries. Put in freezer jars and let stand 30 minutes. Froze.
Made 1 june, 2010. Liam loved using the potato masher and did nearly all of the berry smashing. He also loved eating it, so there were less than 5 jars when we were done.
