eggierolls.

yum!
egg roll wrappers and won ton wrappers are soooooo under appreciated.

i had some leftover egg roll wrappers and thought, what the heck could i fill these things with? naturally, i have nine million bags of frozen chopped spinach in my freezer. so i took out a bag to defrost, and some mushrooms and thought i'd fill them with spinach and mushrooms.
clearly, my horrible memory failed me as i started defrosting a broccoli / cauliflower / carrot mix. after the veggie (california, i believe?) mix was defrosted, i worked in shifts with the food processor to chop the mix up with some onions. after we reached a nice mix of super tiny, tiny, small, and medium sized pieces, i added sweet chili sauce and a little tso. i filled my eggierolls until they were ready to explode, and i baked them at 400* for about ten minutes on each side.

i'll pat myself on the back... they're awesome!
edna even liked them.

come over, i'll make you some.

magical mystery dinner!

i have to say, for this, i am very proud of myself.
i made an excellent stir-fry with broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and pineapple. that's pretty much my go-to delicious & easy meal. i seasoned it with some cayenne powder, garlic, and whatever else i haphazardly picked out of the spice cabinet. i cooked the onions first, so they'd caramelize. yum! then, i cooked down some frozen broccoli & cauliflower. once it was heated through, i added the onions, mixed, then threw in the pineapple. i use the rings and cut them down. i like how the pieces aren't the same size. yes! i'm neurotic!
once my stir-fry was screaming hot & ready, i added the best part.
this, is where i have to give myself a round of applause.
i made.... satay sauce!
one may think: no big accomplishment, monster!
alas, i made satay sauce with... pb2!
powdered peanut butter?
yes! it's fantastic! it has no preservatives and has 85% less fat AND calories than regular peanut butter. genius!
so, to make my outstanding pb2 satay sauce:
(holy crap! an actual recipe! with measurements!)
1/4 c pb2
1/8c low sodium soy sauce
1/8c low sodium chicken broth (to get to desired consistency)
1 tbs chopped garlic (i buy pre-chopped in the jar. yep, i'm a cheater)
1tbs cilantro (i buy the paste in the tube. busted again.)
mix it all together. yum!
i think i added a little more soy to give it a kick.
plus, i made a double batch.

not only was it delicious!
but i'm just so creative!

what's that i hear?
oh, it's your stomach growling!
roar!
