Teriyaki Meatballs


Tonight we had teriyaki meatballs. I remember when my mom told me the recipe I was all excited to try it. This comes from my childhood that I remember. Instead of having my grandma cook it, now that i'm older -- I try! It can't  be that hard would it? Food network makes it look easy. That's for sure. Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 ½ Ground beef (*)
4-5 Cups of low sodium Soy Sauce, I used Aloha low-sodium soy sauce.
6 tbsp. Splenda (*), I used sugar blend (splenda)
1 tbsp. Garlic, minced.
1 bundle of Chinese cabbage, chopped
2 carrots, sliced thinly (*)

Lets cook:

  • In a medium/large pot, combine the soy sauce as well as the splenda together. 
  • Add your garlic at this time.
  • On medium heat, bring sauce to a boil.
  • Roll your beef into small balls to your preference and add them to your pot.
  • Check your beef if it's no longer pink then you can throw in your veggies.
    • Fold in your veggies into the beef. 
  • Lower the temp to medium-low heat. Cook for a little more than 5 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times.
  • As long as your chinese cabbage is alittle tender and carrots is to your preference and meat is cooked. It's good to go. Enjoy.

* more or less, it's up to you, go by your taste buds and how much people you're feeding.

Salmon & Rotini Alfredo

Salmon & Rotini Alfredo

Ingredients:
1 can Alaskan Salmon, drained*
1 box Rotini pasta

Alfredo Sauce: (source)
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese (ehh, wasn't my favorite)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Lets Cook:
In a large pot, boil your rotini according to the instructions on the box. Drain.
Throw in your Salmon and cook for a bit. I threw in butter just to give it a little flavor.
Then, throw in the rotini and alfredo sauce. Cook until all mixed well. Serve while hot with sides.

Sides:
Sauteed Spinach, Corn, any kind of vegetable or a salad sounds good.

*There is bones in the salmon can be careful. If you could remove the bones before hand - take it out.
