BONELESS CHICKEN POBLANO & GINGER STIR FRY
INGREDIENTS:
1 small flat of boneless chicken. About a pound or two. Your choice.
2 Large Poblanos or 4 small ones.
2 Large Carrots.
About 6 large Kale leaves torn apart. Or any other tough leaf veggie.
1 Tablespoon white vinegar.
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Paprika
1 Teaspoon Turmeric
1 inch are Ginger grated.
Add any other spices that you like, the more the merrier.
1 Tablespoon of Chili garlic sauce (Optional)
Cooked rice.
METHOD OF PREPARATION:
FIRST: CUT UP VEGGIES.
Cut the tops and bottoms off the carrot then peel with a veggie peeler. Next cut the carrots in half, so you now have four carrots. Take these piece and cut them in half length wise so you can see the core of the carrot. If they are really big carrots half them again. Next take the halves and line them up in small piles and cut them so you get little pieces, bite size. You can cut them any way you like, but just make sure their all the same size.
Now cut the tops of the Poblanos and remove the stem and taking out the seeds, keeping the little ring that is the cap that is totally good. Stand the Poblano up right and cut it in half all the way down. Next lay each half down and thinly slice, do the same with the other side.
Wash the Kale good and strip the leaves off and tear them into bite size piece.
SECOND: PRECOOKING THE VEGGIES
In a large pan add all the veggies and cook on high for about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir continuously for the 2 to 3 minutes and then turn to low.
THIRD: CUTTING THE MEAT.
The best way to cut the chicken is to keep it half frozen. You can cut it a lot easier. If it is rock solid frozen your going to have a problem. So think half frozen. Also make sure you keep your cutting surface clean before you cut raw meat on it and afterward. (WASH YOUR HANDS) Cut the boneless chicken into small strips and put in a bowl. Again make sure after you are done WASH YOUR HANDS and clean all surfaces that have come in contact with the meat. Being Clean is Being Safe.
FOURTH: COOKING
Now turn the pan with the veggies to medium high and add the chicken to the veggies. Next stir in all the spices and hot garlic chili sauce, vinegar, grated ginger and sugar. Stir occasionally and watch the chicken. When you see no more pink any were as you stir it. Put a lid on it and turn the heat from Med-high to low. Or depending on your stove Med-low. Let simmer and stir occasionally.
When the rice is done cooking your meal is ready.

EASY PUDDING LIKE PIE
EASY PUDDING LIKE PIE
This is a very light non sweet dessert. I love it and my hubby loves it. You can use tangerines, oranges, lemon, tangelos or any type of fresh fruit juice.
You will need a sprayed tart pan for this recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
1 stick of butter Chilled for dough.
Milk (a tablespoon at a time.)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups of flour
2 oz of butter or a half of a stick. Diced and melted in a pan over low. Remove from heat so it won't burn.
Powdered sugar
Flour
About one cup or more of juice.
Add more sugar if you feel you need to this is not a very sweet dessert. Very mild.
A cup of dried beans (uncooked) for Blind baking.
7oz of Wax paper ( Just kidding ) But you will need wax paper.
METHOD OF PREPARATION:
FIRST: MAKING THE DOUGH
Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl and mix in baking powder. Now take chilled butter and squish it into the flour until it looks like a fine meal and their is no huge piece. Add a table spoon of milk one at a time and mix in until the dough starts to hold together. The dough should not be wet, but it can be slightly moist. If it is wet add more flour. If too dry add a tablespoon of milk. Next on a floured cutting board roll out the dough to fit the tart pan the best you can. And if you have to use your fingers to stretch it into shape.
Note: Because of the baking powder this crust is very soft and will rise. If you feel that this is not what you like leave the baking powder out to make it your own.
SECOND: BLIND BAKING
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Next cover dough with wax paper and pour bean evenly over the surface. Bake for 15 minutes. Keep an eye one it, because all stoves are not a like. After it is done remove and cool. Peel off the wax paper, a little bit will stick, that okay.
THIRD: MAKING THE FILLING
In a little pot add the juice and heat gently, do not boil or simmer. Melt the butter in another pot on low, when it is fully melted add one teaspoon of flour and then powdered sugar at a time and whisk into melted butter. Keep adding one of each until all the liquid is absorbed and you have little clumps of dough or dough starting to form. Either way is okay. Next turn the heat up to med low and add a ladle full of juice to the dough mixture. NOTE: Keep whisking away until the liquid is incorporated, then add the next ladle full. It might take a bit. At first it might seem not to thicken up, but it will.
FOURTH: PUT IT TOGETHER
Now pour the filling evenly over the soft crust and spread out with a spatula. If you want you can add cut strawberries, blue berries or cut bananas to your creation. CHILL in refrigerator for an hour.
ENJOY

TANGERINE OR ORANGE PUDDING LIKE DESSERT.
TANGERINE OR ORANGE JUICE PUDDING DESSERT.
Now before we continue, please don't freak. This is made in the non traditional way. Their is no eggs used. It has the consistency of a pudding, but it is really good mixed in with steamed veggies. You can use it as a pie filling, or use it for breakfast in a fruit filled tortilla. I like things with lots of uses and this little treat I created is perfect for multiple uses. No eggs, no milk, no problem. This is not very sweet dessert so if you feel you need to add more sugar, go ahead.
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz of butter or a half of a stick. Diced and melted in a pan over low. Remove from heat so it won't burn.
Powdered sugar
Flour
About one cup or more of juice.
Add more sugar if you feel you need to this is not a very sweet dessert. Very mild.
METHOD OF PREPARATION:
In a little pot add the juice and heat gently, do not boil or simmer. Melt the butter in another pot on low, when it is fully melted add one teaspoon of flour and then powdered sugar at a time and whisk into melted butter. Keep adding one of each until all the liquid is absorbed and you have little clumps of dough or dough starting to form. Either way is okay. Next turn the heat up to med low and add a ladle full of juice to the dough mixture. NOTE: Keep whisking away until the liquid is incorporated, then add the next ladle full. It might take a bit. At first it might seem not to thicken up, but it will. As soon as you have it to the thickness you want, stop add it to dessert dishes and cool.
NOTE: Remember this is your creation if you want to see what happens and add more liquid go for it. You might find other uses for it. A light fruit salad dressing. I will post a supper easy pie. All you have to do is blind bake the crust, add the pudding, refrigerate and you have a dessert.
Cheers.
