The Kitchen Table

What's For Dinner Tonight?

15 years ago

I tried 2 new recipes today.

One a chicken stir-fry recipe and the other a bread recipe using a hot cereal that is only found in Canada, called Red River. Red River cereal is 100% goodness......cracked wheat, cracked rye and whole and cracked flax seed. It's so good!

Sunny Hoisin Chicken

4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces (I didn't use 4, if you do you'd have to double the sauce)

salt and pepper

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp orange zest

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

hot pepper flakes---I used Sriracha hot sauce

Heat oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and brown in skillet. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.

Add garlic to skillet, cook 1 minute. Combine orange juice, zest, hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce. Add to skillet and bring to a boil; cook 3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add chicken and cook until heated through and coated with the sauce. (This recipe went into my Keep binder.)

The bread is really good. I can't wait to try it toasted.

Red River Cereal Bread

1 1/3 cups water

2 tbsp oil

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup Red River cereal

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp yeast

Combine ingredients in a bread machine on the dough setting. Form and let rise in a loaf pan and bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes.

Oh yum, does that bread look good! It will be great toasted, I'm sure.

We put off going grocery shopping as long as we could, so we had to do it this afternoon. What a mistake. It was a three-ring circus in there with every wacko under the sun (you know, those people who leave their cart in the middle of the aisle and take off for who-knows-where). One woman even had her cart in the aisle sideways. Just standing there looking at her list not noticing people in both directions were waiting to get past. GRRRR! We barely got all the groceries out of the car before the rain started so we're having BLT's for dinner tonight. The tomatoes at the farmer's market are so darned good this year.

We've had a few lousy days of rainy weather, today was no exception. It's to last all through next week.

We were settled in to watch the Players Golf at Sawgrass golf course in Florida. But they had a several hour rain delay. It showed videos of the rains this morning. Thunderous and lightning. Is that what you had too Patti?

Cheryl, Amber, Alyssa and I met up with Norm and Kevin at the Golden Corral this afternoon and also met up with Norm's brother and his wife. We had a great lunch so no one is hungry for anything this evening. We also did our grocery shopping and I am a bit tired. Sue

T'was dining alone, when the most handsome man, my age, asked if he could join me. Of COURSE! Great conversation, great food! WE then decided since it was a lovely day, that we drive in our cars and meet eachother at the nice park nearby and people watch and "get to know eachother". Felt like I was on cloud nine and giddy as a teenager on a first date. And to top it all off, he stopped to buy me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and presented to me at the park. Such a lovely way to spent April Fool's Day :o)

It is fresh veggie night, our trip to the farm store provided these goodies. Fresh yellow squash cooked down with purple onions and home grown tomatoes, turnips fresh from the ground, and boiled corn on the cob, salad of new cukes and cherry tomatoes. I love going to the farm store! I may or may not cook a little tasso or sausage to go with it, leaning toward not.

Met DS for lunch at Cajun Steamer. Never been there, but son loves their food. Packed! He and I had each a bowl of gumbo ya ya! Excellent! Rice served in a separate bowl if you want to add it to the gumbo. I didn't, son did. E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T!!!!!!!

Eating dinner late tonight, probably leftover Chinese food. Mine is seafood and I'll mix it with "yummy (not)" protein powder.

Joann, Red River Cereal is only found in Canada, I believe.
It's made with 100% whole grains.......cracked wheat, rye and whole and cracked flax. That's it. You cook it for about 20 minutes like porridge. It's so good.

I wonder if you can use something else instead?
