    • English Muffins

      Posted at 12:29 pm by NativeNM, on March 10, 2022

      I had a grand idea of making breakfast sandwiches over the weekend but it didn’t start out very well. I picked up some English muffins from the store but they were so thin; they just fell apart when I attempted to separate them. At that moment I decided it was time to make my own muffins. I found a recipe that incorporated yogurt into the recipe and was so appealing that I gave it a try. After some adjustments this recipe turned out really good. As with many dough recipes, (even the ones I made in Kansas) I’m finding that I have to adjust the ratio of liquids and dry ingredients because of our high altitude and the dry desert air of New Mexico. If you are unsure of how to adjust your recipes you might try this guide: Cooking and Baking at High Altitudes by Betty Crocker. These muffins took about 2 hours from start to finish which was perfect for our weekend brunch. Our breakfast sandwiches turned out delicious with freshly made English muffins, lightly toasted with egg, cheese and bacon. They are also good with butter and jam too!

    • Mongolian Beef

      Posted at 9:49 am by NativeNM, on May 12, 2020

      Mongolian beef is one of my favorite take out dishes.  There’s just something about that crispy beef covered in a delectable thick sauce that is packed with flavor and clings to every bite.  Asian dishes can sometimes be challenging but since I started following “Woks of Life“, I am learning more about wok cooking and trying new techniques that make Asian food taste so good.  This is one of their most popular dishes and I can see why.  Ever since they posted instructions on how to prepare beef for stir fry I’ve been anxious to try it out.  It cooks up with a crispy texture but so tender it almost melts in your mouth.  It’s so good you might think it came from your favorite restaurant.  If you love Mongolian Beef, I guarantee you will love this recipe!

    • Chicken and Veggies with Garlic Ginger Sauce

      Posted at 10:12 am by NativeNM, on February 28, 2020

      My favorite go to blog for Asian food is “The Woks of Life“.  This family of four make some of the most beautiful and authentic Asian dishes you’ve ever seen.  I have enjoyed learning their techniques and ingredients that go into Asian cooking.  After trying many of their recipes, I have to say they are always delicious and easy to make.  This recipe is my take on their Chicken and Broccoli with Brown Sauce.  This made enough for a meal plus leftovers for lunch the next day.  I went with veggies that my family likes and added some chili oil for a spicy kick.
