Spicy Lo Mein

Got this kind of weird craving for noodles at 10:00 am this morning, so I stopped at Whole Foods and got what I needed, and you know what.. I aint even mad at you carbs, I love you actually. 

This has got to be one of the easiest & tastiest noodle recipes I've ever made...aaand extremely budget friendly, since I had everything minus the noodles in my pantry. 

What you will need..

Pack of Lo Mein Noodles / 8 oz.

4 tbs. of Butter

1/2 tbs of red pepper

2 large eggs

1 minced garlic clove

2 tbs. of brown sugar

2 tbs. of soy sauce

2 tbs. of sriracha

2 green onions

1-2 handfuls of chopped cilantro

The above amounts are for 3-4 people..But I ended up having to make another batch for Daniel & friends..so feel free to double or triple it, really.

These are the noodles I used, I'm sure any lo mein would do

So start by boiling your water, you want it to be super boily ( is this a word?) before you throw in the noodles, they cook extremely fast, so they will get mushy if the water is not hot enough.

Mix the Brown sugar, sriracha, and soy sauce..

 chop your cilantro, garlic & green onions

 in a separate bowl whisk up your eggs

Grab your butter, melt it with the garlic, and red pepper flakes, once its hot and melted, go ahead and toss your eggs in the skillet

Like I said the noodles cook extremely fast, anywhere from 4-6 minutes, so once your egg is done, your noodles will be done if not very close.

drain & rinse with cold water

throw noodles into skillet with egg & butter mixture, along with your sriracha / soy sauce, then top with the onions & cilantro

Mix everything together on medium heat..and that is it! This will seriously take you 15-20 minutes to cook, no excuse to not cook, ah I love cooking..on my days off at least ;)

I paired this with an extremely girly strawberry beer my best friend picked out for me. It was delicious.  

Breakfast Chiles Rellenos

Oh heeey guys. I have not posted since last Thursday, and I feel like its been months. I really enjoy reading the comments from people throughout the world, yes world. It is so nuts to me to see all the awesome pictures from all the bloggers who post on my page, and then mine are so dorky taken with my cracked screen iphone 3g..haha, well what can you do, actually I do know what you can do, you meaning Daniel, I need a camera for my birthday.

So, I am not big on breakfast at all, actually I hate breakfast, my idea of a good breakfast are frozen wal-mart pancakes. I actually hate wal-mart, but I love their frozen mini pancakes. I posted a picture of this recipe on my instagram a few weeks ago, and my mom and sisters blew up my phone over this recipe, seriously guys let me sleep. So here it is, a healthy version of one of my husbands favorites, Chiles Rellenos. What you'll need..

Poblano Peppers

Queso Fresco

Eggs

Salt

Pepper

Pico De Gallo Recipe

2- 3Tomatoes

1 - Serrano Peppers

1/3 of an Onion

1/4 of a Cilantro Bunch

Salt

Pepper

You'll start with pre-heating your oven at 400 degrees, washing, and drying your poblano peppers, and you want to grill / bake them on each side for 10-15 minutes. Before & After picture below

  

While your poblano peppers are in the oven, you can grate your queso fresco, I prefer cacique brand, but any queso fresco will work, also make your pico de gallo while the peppers are cooking. The pico de gallo is super easy to make, chop all your veggies, and mix them all together, add salt and black pepper to your liking, and thaats it.

 When I originally made this recipe, I used feta cheese, but the husband isnt a big fan of feta, but both cheeses work perfect.

Cacique- Queso Fresco

When your peppers are ready to take out, you will quickly remove them from your baking rack, and put them in a plastic bag, and close it. The bag will quickly steam up, and you want to leave them in there for 15-20 minutes while they cool. You do this in order to make it easier to peel off the burnt skin, little trick my momma taught me.

..peel that thick burnt skin off, you don't want to eat that.

Once all your peppers are peeled, cut a little slit straight across down one side of the peppers, this is where you will stuff them with your grated cheese.

After stuffing, you will put them back in the oven for 10-15 minutes, just to melt the cheese a little. Meanwhile, you can cook your eggs to your liking, I'm a simple gal..scrambled eggs for me is fine, but I know some people like to get fancy with their over easy, sunny side up, poached eggs etc, you get the point. Just cook your eggs, and top the eggs over your melted cheese stuffed pepper.

..and finally top it with your pico de gallo, and eat away..Enjoy !
