Simple ingredients such as pure cane sugar, cinnamon and cooking oil.  Peel and fry, slice diagonally, fry in the medium-high heat, wait until done and roll them good over cinnamon and sugar mixture and serve. 

Recipe correction:  2 tsp or 1 tbsp of cinnamon, not 2 tbsp as noted.

How To Make Fried Rice

www.mercifulg.blogspot.comLearn how  to make quick fried rice recipe with the the famous Spam canned goods.  Filipinos love receiving these canned goods thru "balikbayan box"  because they can make variety of dishes out of one can, so who wouldn't? And yes, the canned corned beef too.  I learned that they are favorites of Hawaiians too!  They're made with  pork meat mixed with preservatives then canned commercially by Hormel Food Corporation. Have you tried making fried rice with them?  I use the dish as side dish for dinner or even for breakfast!  Serve with fried eggs, sausage or bacon.  I understand there are plenty of salt in canned goods, so with my Spam, I prepared them by rinsing the sliced ham before frying and when it slightly dried up, I rinsed them again. The flavor stays but lesser salt for me.

How To Make Cinnabon

And you would be fortunate if you have the store close-by.  Since, we're not, I made one made by Pillsbury. And, reduced fat cinnabon too! 130 calories per piece.

How To Make Chicken Stir-Fry With Frozen Vegetables

www.mercifulg.blogspot.com  Learn how to cook stir fry chicken with frozen vegetables. Prepare the following meal using frozen vegetables such as brocolli, carrots, cauliflower and mixed bell peppers when the fresh ones are not available.  Or for a fast, easy preparation, healthy and delicious dinner, buy the frozen. Frozen vegetables can be as nutritious as the fresh one since their vitamins and nutrients are preserved as soon as they were picked or harvested at their peak.  Do you think the farmers would let their crops spoiled? Unless these vegetables are growing in your backyard then of course, opt for the fresh ones. So, how about some chicken stir-fry for tonight?

Slice 2 cloves of garlic and 1/4 cup of red onions.  Fry in the medium to high heat.

Slice some chicken breast. I bought the boneless chicken breast. It was frozen, so I thawed them in the microwave for about 45 seconds.  The recipe used about 4 oz. Add to the pan or the wok. Stir until opaque or cooked.

1 cup of mixed frozen vegetables.  Above has brocolli, carrots and cauliflower and packed by VIP. You may use different brand. Add to the pan or the wok.  Stir.  Keep the pan or wok consistently hot.  Adjust the oven settings higher if needed.

Add 1/4 cup of sliced mixed peppers.

Add 1/2 cup of brocolli florets.

Stir them all together for 3 minutes.  Mix 1/2 cup of chicken broth with 1/2 tbsp of cornstarch or have 1-2 chicken bouillon as seasonings. Keep the heat consistent. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.  Add ground pepper and dash of salt to taste. You may add tbsp of soy sauce if you prefer.  I love spicy food, so I always add red chili pepper flakes on most of my stir fry.

Grab a nice white place and serve over a cup of white or brown rice. Serve with a slice of lime. Squeeze the lime over the whole dish and you are set for a quick tasty dinner.

And that's my Chicken Stir-Fry With Frozen Vegetables.Yummy!
