My Children Cleaned Their Plates Thanks to YOU.

I read blogs because I love being inspired. I only discovered the blogosphere after creating my own blog, and boy am I happy I started this! I read many different blogs almost everyday, but of course my favorites are food blogs as cooking is my passion and stuff. The following bloggers has helped my little ones join the clean plates club two nights this week.

Monday night, I cooked Ramen, Steak with Mushrooms. I was inspired to make this from reading one of my favorite people in the blogosphere, Lazaro Cooks. His Ramen with Two Bean Ragout & NY Strip Steak had me drooling! He has a plethora of recipes that are utterly beautiful and amazing. He's very knowledgeable about everything he posts about. He's also brought to my attention many other fabulous blogs with his regular guest posts. Check him out fo sho.


My children prefers mushrooms over beans so I cooked some cremini mushrooms I sliced, sauteed  until softened, added some minced garlic, after about a minute, added a little wine then let the wine cooked down a little, The mushrooms were softened, but had a bite.
For the steak, after I seasoned it with soy sauce, then  I cooked it the exact way Lazaro said he did. I cooked the steak in a low oven (100 Celsius) in my cast iron skillet for 40 minutes, then dried the skillet with a paper towel, and seared the steaks on both sides over high heat; I then let them rest for about 10 minutes then sliced them. They came out PERFECTLY. The meat was so juicy and had flavorful. My baby loooooved the steaks as did my other children My baby never ate steak before, by the way. First I plated the ramen that I seasoned with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder, placed the sliced steak and mushrooms over and together and it delicious and easy. Thanks man!


 
Yesterday I cooked a recipe from Gourmet's Kitchenette called Lemon Chicken. She put a curry spin on a classic and man was it delicious! All 3 of my children loved them and asked for seconds! We are currently eating more for lunch!!! I doubled the recipe as  knew this recipe would be good just from reading it. The only thing that confused me was that it's called Lemon Chicken, but Lime juice was used. Doesn't matter, this chicken was so flavorful and the meat fell from the bone. It was AWESOME. Give her blog a look 'round. Her exotic flavors will have your stomach rumbling and tastebuds very intrigued!  Yes, taste buds have a mind of their own. Don't wiki that.
