Beef and Egg noodles

When I was a kid I loved egg noodles!! I would ask my grandma to make me some with butter before volleyball practice all the time!!!!!! There are lots of things like Beef in Red Wine sauce on egg noodles but this has a quick spin!!! Beef is my favorite type of meat! I like it better then pork and chicken. It is so flavorful and juicy and its not extremely fatty like pork! It stand AMAZING right on its own and with a little salt and pepper you will rock the house. Beef and egg noodles are really commonly used. I love to keep traditional flavors and combinations. Its like peanut butter and jelly, they taste good with other things but great with each other!!! You use a lot of soup and creams from Cambells( or another brand if that is what you like) so you have this amazing sauce that I dream about!!! No really, I had a dream I was eating this last night! Like I said, I love egg noodles with butter so I couldn't let butter miss out on the party! So I added some butter!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg!!, I hate this whole daylight savings!!!!!!!!! I woke up at 5:30 because I put my clock up 2 hours so I woke up ay 5:30 not knowing if it was 6:30 or 5:30!! It looked dark and I looked on my phone and it said 5:30 and I almost screamed!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy because  I was so tired and I could sleep another hour! I was like Thank The LORD!!!!!!! Then it really was  6:30 and I wanted to cry!!! Tomorrow are MSA  testing which is this 3 hour test so lets pry I don't fall asleep of bordness!!!! Oh, Its MSA tomorrow, I should probably go make sure I don't need to do anything so BYE

The Best of the Best Fried Butterflied Shimp

 New World Record!!!!!! Well,a new Delightful Delicious Dinner record!!!! The best Fried recipe yet!! Now remember, this is a "so far record". This means that the record can always break. I could always find something better to break the record. But that will probably take forever, there is no topping this!!!!!!!!! So, how are y'all? Tired? Me TOO!!! I hate when we lose an hour of sleep!! I need my sleep!!!!What I love about this is, its not overly covered. Meaning, when you make the badder, you don't overly coat the shrimp. The star of this dish is the shrimp so I didn't want to overly coat the shrimp. I don't like having layers of fried stuff. I don't want the dish to be fried badder with a shrimp filling. I got my shrimp fresh from the butcher already peeled,deveined, and butterflied. You could bye frozen shrimp but fresh makes a big difference.If you want to do any of these things yourself be my guest. OMG, so y'all know the best pixtar movie there is, Beauty and the Beast? So I was watching it yesturday with some kids in my family and the song , Be my guest came on. I haven't seen that movie for a long time and I was so happy to hear it! I was like singing and dancing along with it! I love pixtar movies! Who dose not right?! I have the whole song memorized my heart! My neighboor was here to and she told me not to be scared of the beast! It was super cute. She sat on my lap and when ever the beast came she would jump!!!!!!!! So, let me tell y'all another story. In 2011Im went on this cruise to Mexico.It was one of my favorite vacations!!!!!They had a shrimp bar! Any shrimp you could imagine, BBQ , Baked, Coconut, Coconut lime, Steamed,etc, and my favorite fried!!!! I tried a little of everything! The problem is with fried food is it can be very unhealthy!!!!`The oil is grease. I wouldn't call these healthy but they are not bad. Sorry we couldn't talk much but, Once Upon A Time is on!!!!!!!! I have been counting down the minutes. My chart is upstairs!!!! Best show ever! So dramatic!!!! Worst Cooks in America is on to!!!!!!!!! Wow, on Sundays I am full of shows.

Kids Favorite Lemonade

Did y'all know that lemonade has gone up like $2 since last summer!!!! That is a lot!!!!Plus the Lemonade is pure sugar!!!! It taste like liquid sugar! The main problem is kids love it! I will go down during the lunch periods and lots of kids have soda, cool aid pure sugar drinks, and this pure sugar lemonade.I hate to see kids drinking all that and having bags of chips and mountains of candy. I wanted to see if I could make a delicious lemonade. I still added some sugar because with out it it taste like bitter water. But I reduced it as much as possible so there wasn't to much. You have the ingredients in your house. So if you are grocery shopping with your kid and they ask you to but them a fruit punch, say that you can make lemonade at home. The great thing is they can't even taste the difference!!! If you put it in a bottle they would have no idea. But it is so much healthier and more fresh then store bought. Now you know it is freshly squeezed, y'all don't know how they make those juice boxes. I do admit, I love juice boxes!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are sugary so they are really sweet but this is much better and super refreshing!!!!! I know it is still cold out and there is supposed to be like 8-12 inches of snow.  So you won't go on a long walk come back in your house sweating but it is still nice to have a fresh refreshing drink!!!!!! I hope it snows!!! I love snow!!!!! School gets delayed and I get to sleep in! Then the days are shorter!!!!! What you know its snowing right now!!!!!!! Its snowing pretty hard so with some luck we could have enough to go sleding. I herd we are supposed to get like 10 inches!!!!!!!!!!!! So no school today!!!!!! I slept in till like 9:30!!!!AWESOME!!!!!

 

Y'all know what they say. When life gives you lemons make lemonade!!!!!!! I will be honest, I don't get that. But I follow it because who dose not love lemonade!!!! Really, I have never met any one who dose not like lemonade. When I go to Chick-Fil-A I still get lemonade and its done in less then a minute. I used to be this powder called Cristal light and you put it in a pitcher of cold water and you put the powder in and mix it!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is actually pretty good. But one day I just made homemade lemonade and I stoped buying it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am dead serios, I will be thirsty and just make a pitcher of lemonade any day any time!!!!!! Well I want to play in the snow so bye!

Ingredients 

1-1/2 cups and 1 tablespoon white sugar

Now here is one of my favorite parts, there are rasins in it!!!!!!! I am loving my life at the moment you go it nuts and rasins and spices to add up to this amazing great flavors and textures. I love Monkey bread!!!!!!!!!!! I don't eat it much but when I do I go crazy!!!!! Its so sweet and the texture is like nothing else and Holly Cow its good!!!!! There is this frozen monkey bread in a box that you can find in the freezer section of your store. Don't w\even go near buying it or look at it because it taste bad!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ooey gooey part of monkey bread that makes monkey bread so good is frozen and it dose not taste good even after you bake it! This is a great breakfast to. In my classes at work the kids love sweets. This is sweet but still a nice breakfast and the kids are all in good moods which is the best part! I needed to make up for all the lost time of my life not eating monkey bread so I make this all the time! This makes me go nuts when ever I eat it! Speaking of nuts........ I needed crunch so the next time I made it I added nuts and hat truly was the best monkey bread ever!!!!! I should open up a monkey bread store and just sell monkey bread. People would go nuts for that!!!!!!!!!!That would actually be cool. I need more monkey bread around here!!!!!!!!! I'm loving that idea!!!! Y'all watch cake boss? I love that show and the season finale was like 2 weeks ago but I just realized, I don't think they sell monkey bread there. They should!

Super Sesame Chicken with Jasmine Rice

I think I have told you this like once before but I die for Chinese food! I would pay $200 if that is what it takes to get it!!!! I love very meat, veggie, soup, pasta, fried, steamed,etc. I beg my family to get them convinced we should have it for dinner! I will get chicken lomaine, beef and mixed veggies, steamed rice, steamed dumplings, wonton soup, egg rolls. Chow Mein, and like 2 other things. That is just my usual order! Everybody else in my family dose not like it. They say it makes their stomach hurt. So I decided to make my own Chinese food! I have made beef and broccoli and this other beef dish but I decided to make some sesame chicken. Many people eat peanut sauce with this but I just took it simple. I may not be Chinese but I make good Chinese food! Not to brag about myself but I am!!!! I made it the first time with a salad but I decided I need more of a side to go with the dish and I thought of some simple steamed Jasmine rice Jasmine rice is used in many traditional Chinese dishes along with sushi rice. Sushi rice is used more in Japenese foods along with being my favorite rice!! One of my favorite thing to order at the Chinese food restaurant is steamed rice. I like fried to but with this is steamed. Wow, I just gave y'all a whole thing on rice. I have like 4 kinds of rice in my house.  I eat a lot of chicken in  my house. I will NEVER EVER EVER NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, tell you this on any other recipe but this is the best recipe of chicken I have ate!!!!!!!!!! I am not just saying that!!!! Sesame chicken has a destiny that it has 110% done!!!!!!!! It is supposed to be the most flavorful chicken ever! Here I will help you imagine. So close your eyes, OH wait, Don't right now then you can't see the screen. So, close them after you read this. Think of a piece of juicy tender chicken with a little sherry, soy sauce, and some seasons, fried with  more seasons and sauces, with toasted sesame seeds on top and soft, white Jasmine rice!!!!!(now close your eyes and imagine in)!! Dose not it look good?! It taste great with some steamed veggies!!!!!! It is really good! The perfect delightful delicious dinner any time any day! I try to make this like 4 times a month but I want to make it more because its good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like if I had a dime for every time I have  ate this dish I would be rich!!!!!!!!! If you had a dime for how many comments you get the first time you make this dish you will be richer then me!!!!!!! I'm loving it! I have never liked poppy seeds. I know a few people who LOVE poppy seeds. Many people eat it with lemon curd. I think it taste awful. But I do like Sesame seeds. I eat Sesame seed bagels all the time and they give a nice flavorful crunch to any thing. Chicken is the best! I will say,  If sesame seeds aren't cooked right they can such. If you burn them they are devils!! Or if you season them badly. Its a win lose situation. So follow the recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You won't!!!!!!!!!! I'm actually watching Top Chef the finale. Down to Kristin and Brooke!!! I like them both so I don't care who wins. It was on like last week but I didn't get the chance to watch it!! So I'm trying to multitask and do a quick post. By the way, During school hours I can't post so you can look and read anything on here but don't expect any new recipes. Sometimes there will be if I do it the night before but useally not.So until like 3 I probably won't post. Just letting y'all know. I never go on my phone during work because we have a rule in the school that if a teacher sees your phone they take it away and your parents have to come get it after school. You also get a MIR home.  So I think it is unfair if I get to be on it and text(or play games) and they are doing work. I never really give homework either because when the kids are at home I feel they deserve to have their own time and do what they want. They already have like 7 hours of school a day they don't need more stress. I never eat in front of them either. That will just make them hungry and grumpy.So there are my teaching styles. OMG, Kristin won Top Chef!!!!!!!! You know, after I think of it, I don't know if that is fair. She didn't make it through the whole season so just won last chance kitchen. But thats awesome and its been my dream for a long time to win Top Chef or Chopped or something so GO KRISTIN!!! This is something a Top Chef would make! Fell welcome to higher the amount of vinigar or lower the sugar depending on how sweet you want the sauce. This is how I made it!!!!
