Battered Fish Tacos

I found Panko Ginger fish & Chicken batter crumbs... perfect for this!

 Place fish in plastic bag and shake with portioned bread crumbs.. I used 2 lbs of Tilapia cut up into chunks..
Fry in 1/4 inch of Canola Oil
 crumble paper towel and let fish rest there when you take it out of the oil... (directions for this are all on back of the box)

 I just used Tortillas, coleslaw and I mixed sour cream with the juice of a can of Adobo peppers...

Buffalo Chicken Rolls



Buffalo Chicken Rolls
makes 12
12 egg roll wrappers (roughly 4 square inches)
1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (6 ounces)
1/2- 2/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce(I used the buffalo wing sauce)
1 cup crumbled blue cheese (4 ounces)
1 cup broccoli slaw or cole slaw (dry)
Small bowl of water
Nonstick cooking spray
Blue cheese dressing, for serving
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lay egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface. In a small bowl, stir chicken* (see note below) and hot sauce until well coated, using more or less sauce depending on your spice preference. The meat should be moist with sauce.
Begin by placing one tablespoon of the broccoli slaw on the diagonal of the bottom right corner of one of the wrappers. Next, place 2 tablespoons of shredded spicy chicken evenly on top of the slaw. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the blue cheese crumbles over the chicken. Do not overfill.
To fold: Fold the bottom right corner over the stuffing mixture so that it covers it completely, with the tip of the corner now pointing to the center of the egg roll wrapper. Fold in the bottom left corner, followed by the right, so that you now have formed an envelope. Roll the wrap upward one time, leaving the top left corner open. Wet your index finger in the small bowl of water and press to moisten the top left corner. Now fold that down on top of the filled roll, sealing it like you would an envelope.
Repeat with remaining rolls.
Place the rolls on a wire rack set on top of a cookie sheet (or just on a greased cookie sheet) coated with nonstick cooking spray. Spritz each roll evenly with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls crisp and turn a light golden brown.
I liked these just okay, Daniel didn't like them at all... first thing ever.. they were too healthy... maybe fried chicken and oil next time?
These would be soooo much better if they were fried... :)

Beef Stroganoff



Obviously I am obsessed with Pinterest & this was on it, it was very delicious... 


Beef Stroganoff

2 pounds cubed stew meat
2 cans Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
1 largish onion diced
2-3-4 tabls of Worcestershire (this stuff is so awesome I always add more)
1/2 water
8 oz of cream cheese (room temp)
couple of dashes of Garlic Salt (1 tsp?)
couple dashes of Hot Paprika

In the slow cooker stir in all the ingredients, except the meat AND the Cream Cheese, together. Once combined add the meat and mix together.

Cook on Low for 8 hours. Cut up the cream cheese into cubes just before serving and turn crockpot on high, whip cream cheese with blender and add. Stir the cream cheese in until all combined. You might have to put the lid back on and leave for 10 minutes. (My cream cheese was still a little cool, thats why it is somewhat clumpy... would've been better if it was completely room temp)

Serve over egg noodles
