    • Chicken Lettuce Wraps

      Posted at 9:25 am by NativeNM, on January 24, 2025

      If you’re looking for a lighter meal, try making some chicken lettuce wraps. They are loaded with flavor and can be customized to your tastes by adding vegetables and a crunchy topping in the form of peanuts, cashews or pistachios. I made a simple version that suited both Joe and I with ground chicken, carrots, green onions, ginger and garlic along with a a lighter sauce and a sprinkle of roughly chopped cilantro and green chile pistachios. Drizzle some sweet chili sauce over top for a little bit of sweetness in every bite. All the flavors came together nicely and were tucked inside butter lettuce leaves. It was a perfect meal for the two of us with a side of jasmine rice that was simmered in chicken broth to round it out. Whether you are looking for a flavorful appetizer or a light meal, chicken lettuce wraps are a healthy tasty choice that’s fun to eat!

    • Custard Cream Sweet Rolls with Orange Crystallized Sugar

      Posted at 9:03 am by NativeNM, on January 16, 2025

      I am a little late sharing my holiday sweet rolls that I enjoy making every year, however I have a good reason. My youngest son Cameron is here for a visit and since I don’t get to see him very often, I am taking this time to enjoy every minute. Over the years I have made numerous flavors of sweet rolls and each time I have the hardest time deciding what new filling to try. Custard sweet rolls are not all that sweet, however, an added hint of sweetness and citrus flavor can be tasted throughout. It’s quite satisfying to peel back the layers of the brioche dough and taste the custard with orange sugar. Sprinkle a fine dusting of powdered sugar over top to make it pretty and lets face it, it’s fun to lick the powdered sugar off your fingers after every bite. Enjoy one with your morning coffee or afternoon tea for a taste of pure bliss!
