Color me Spicey!

My Panaeng Curry Pork Dish!
Well this week it seems I have been inspired to make spicy Asian dishes and I mean spicy lol. I just can't get enough of curry dishes. Anything spicy works for me and I am lucky enough to have a very willing guinea pig to help!

I was lucky enough to have access to a free trial of the Rouxbe cooking school, courtesy of the Cooking Club of America and having watched many instructional videos I happened upon this dish.

My first attempt was supposed to be my first proper Stir Fry, a Panaeng Curry with Pork. However if I am being truthful, during the cooking process it ended up looking more like a Green Curry dish than anything, but it all sorted itself out in the end. Having said that, it did still taste yummy non the less thank God, so not a complete wast!

My next attempt at an Asian inspired dish was a Sweet and Sour Chicken! recipe which was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be and actually turned out pretty well. Lets put it this way, I don't' have to worry about left overs!

So if you have time, check the recipes out and have ago. You can never have too many curry dishes if you ask me!

Ok kids, there are many, many recipes out there for this and as you know like most recipes they range from easy to hard. Well that special someone loves Chocolate Ice Box Pie and so it was a must that I not only learn how to make it, but make it really, really yummy, just like Grand Ma made it lol! So I searched and searched and found a recipe that to me sounded too easy, so easy in fact that I just had to try it and see how it would go down! Well I followed this really easy recipe to a T, and whalla, it made the most delicious pie ever, so much so that I even liked it and I don't do chocolate pies/cakes, although I do love chocolate lol!

Sweet And Sour Chicken!

Well I have to say I hope you guys try this as I was so surprised at how relatively easy this dish was to make and honestly you will never want to bother with Panda Express again lol...well maybe if your in a hurry! This really was a fun dish to make and I look forward to making this many, many times. You will need the following: 1 lb of skinless Chicken Breasts 1 Green Peeper 4 Slices of Pineapple 1 small to medium Onion 1/4 cup of Corn Starch 3 Tbsp of Vinegar 4 Tbsp of Sugar 4 Tbsp of Ketchup 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil I know...looking at those ingredients who knew right! I will admit though that I did not have any sesame oil and it was just fine. Of course I will keep an eye out when shopping for future reference. Now cut your chicken up into 1 inch cubes approx, then put into a bowl and mix in 1/2 cup of Corn Starch. Now there is a two step process here for the chicken but not difficult at all. The Cornstarch seals in the moisture for more tender chicken. Once your chic
