Chow Mein Burgers

Chow Mein Burgers is a family favorite. My mother-in-law got the recipe in the early ‘80s from a Weight Watchers cookbook. It’s a turkey burger that you serve without a bun. They are low-fat and crunchy. I love anything crunchy! You can serve them with rice and sugar snap or snow peas (more crunch!) This is a must-try!

White Asparagus with Tarragon Cream and Toasted Panko

To grow white asparagus, the shoots are covered with soil as they grow, so that there is no exposure to sunlight, which keeps it white. White asparagus is considered to be slightly milder in flavor and a bit more tender than green asparagus.

Cider Braised Pork Chops with Apples

I've made many versions of pork chops and apples. I really like this one. I actually made a mistake and used apple cider vinegar instead of apple cider. It worked, though you might want to try it the way it's meant to be.

Peanut Butter Ramen Noodles

Peanut Butter Ramen Noodles

One of the things (which my husband Eric invented) I always made for my kids is something we call peanut butter ramen noodles. By adding peanut butter, it adds some much needed protein. I also like to add some shelled edamame for even more of a protein boost. It's really delicious!
