Hey y’all,

Hey y’all,

Sorry for the extended, extended, break. Life got busy and tumblr got left behind. But I am back and I promise to try to post as frequent as possible.

Hey y'all,

So here is another great Holiday time recipe. I know that the holidays are over but it is never to early to expand your horizons. I have started to figure where my inability to measure things come from. As before, this is a quote from the recipe card handed down the generations.

1 Loaf White Bread, crumbled

Celery 

Onions

Poultry Seasoning

Salt and Pepper

Butter

2 Cups Parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks

2 Cups Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

1/2 Cup Celery, cut into 1" pieces

1/2 Red Bell Pepper, cut into strips

3 Cups Apple Juice

2 Tablespoons Tapioca

1/2 Tablespoon Cinnamon

Salt

This is a new recipe I came up with my new obsession of making Spring Rolls, this is a time consuming prep recipe, but this a simple and fun recipe. A hit with the family and a fun way to get your veggies.

Chicken

2 8 oz. Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast, thinly cut

6 Cups Water

2 Tablespoons Minced Ginger

Salt

Roll

6 Green Onion (not the tops), Shredded

2 Mini Cucumber, Shredded

1/3 Cup Microwavable Carrots, diced or shredded

1 Zucchini, julienne

1/3 Red Bell Pepper, julienne

Peanuts

1 Large Garlic Clove, thinly sliced.

1/2 Jalapeno, thinly sliced

9 Spring Roll Wrappers

Warm Water

In a pot, pour water and add salt and Ginger and bring to boil. Once boiling, add chicken and cook for 6 minutes. Drain, and run cool water over the chicken to stop cooking.

Now for the veggies. Take the green onion, remove the green leaves and set aside, if you do not have a shredding tool, do what I did, cut the green onion in quarters and separate the layers. For the cucumber, I simply used my peeler, removed the skin, and then kept peeling til I could no longer peel. Cut the carrots in half and dice. and simply julienne the Zucchini and Bell Peppers.

In a pie dish or similarly sized pan, place warm water.Lay out veggies. Lay out large cutting board. Take a Spring Roll wrapper, dip the wrapper in the water until the entire wrapper is wet, lay on the cutting board.

On the end closest to you, lay chicken (you may wish to shred or cut chicken finer to be able to wrap easier). Then add the veggies om the end further away from you. Starting at that end, start wrapping, it is sticky so be careful, fold in the sides and finish wrapping. If it breaks or tears, simply wrap again in a second wrapper.
