Dump and Bake Meatball Casserole

 

Denise shared this Dump and Bake Meatball casserole recipe that I can't wait to try once I get a package of frozen meatballs.  I love quick and easy recipes.

Beef Stir Fry

 

My neighbour dropped off some vegetables a few weeks ago and they went well with a beef stir fry I made.

I found a good beef stir fry recipe on Instagram and was very happy with the sauce which uses Chinese cooking wine.

Ingredients

1/2lb beef sirloin tip roast

1 " ginger peeled and grated

2 cloves garlic minced

2 tbs soy sauce

1 tbs dark soy sauce

3 tbs oyster sauce

1 tbs corn starch (made into a slurry)

2 tbs Shaoxing cooking wine

2 peppers sliced

1-2 onions sliced

3-4 tbs canola oil as needed

Sauce

1/2c broth

1 tbs dark soy sauce

2 tbs soy sauce

4 tbs oyster sauce

1 tbs corn starch

2 tbs Shaoxing cooking wine

Thinly slice the beef against the grain.  Marinate with soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, cornstarch slurry ( mix an equal amount of cold water with cornstarch).  Set aside for say 30 mins.

Sear the meat on both sides in oil until just browned. Set aside. Saute ginger, garlic, onions, peppers until softened.  Add sauce until it bubbles.  Mix in beef.

Orchid Repotted

 

On Sept 3rd, I decided to repot this orchid that I had in water for months trying to get it to rebloom.  I didn't have the heart to throw it out, it looks so healthy, just the leaves. I happened to have orchid potting soil in my garage and so why not?

I found this post where  I first put the plant in just water, that was 6 months ago, with no result! This blog is a great way to keep track of things isn't it?

Friday Art - Dolly

 

Welcome to Friday Art! This is a portrait ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") of Dolly Parton done in watercolour pencil.

This is my inspiration meme:

The meme says Elvis Presley was supposed to cover "I will always love you" but his manager wanted too much money so they had Whitney Houston sing the song instead.  Enough said.

Salmon fried rice salad

 

I had some salmon fried rice and decided to combine it with a tossed salad to make a salmon fried rice salad.  It was delicious and healthy!
