Cooked rice, cold
Olive oil
Coconut oil
Garlic
Candied Ginger
Eggs
Shrimp or meat
Peas or veggies

Heat coconut butter or olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. The egg fried rice recipe is best made with a high-quality oil. Be careful not to let the oil smoke; turn the heat slightly lower if this happens.

| Easy home Made Pizza |
Forget ordering delivery. Forget prepackaged pizza. Use this recipe to make pizza the way you want it every time.
Instruction
Things You'll Need:
Pizza Dough
Pizza Sauce
Toppings of your choice
An Oven
A Pizza Pan
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2:
Cover the pan with a very thin layer of extra virgin olive oil. Then lightly sprinkle a bit of corn meal and seasoned salt over the pan. This will keep the dough from sticking to the pan.
Step 3:
Place the uncovered dough in the oven for approximately 8 to 10 minutes. This will firm up the crust and keep it from being soggy when you add the sauce and toppings.
Step 4:
Use a ladle to spoon the sauce onto the pre-cooked crust. Poor the sauce in the center and use the bottom of the ladle to spread the sauce evenly across the crust.
Step 5:
Add your toppings. Whatever you choose, make sure you spread them in a way that covers the pizza evenly. The more toppings you have the more sparsely you want to use them. Your pizza should not be so stacked that it falls apart when you pick up your slice.
Step 6:
Put the pizza in the oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese just starts to brown. Remove, slice and enjoy.Labels: Home Made Pizza |

| How to Make Easy Sushi |
This recipe is simplified to make it easy for anyone to make and enjoy sushi. Sushi does not have to contain raw fish! This recipe is very Westernized, to please most tastes. The fish is either smoked or well cooked, so you don't have to take a risk!
Instruction
Things You'll Need:
1 cup WATER
3/4 cup SUSHI RICE, or short grained rice
1.5 tablespoons VINEGAR
1.5 tablespoons LEMON JUICE
2 tablespoons WHITE SUGAR
0.5 teaspoons SALT
SMOKED SALMON, or canned salmon (drained), cut into thin strips or small chunks
CARROT STICKS, cooked to barely soft stage
CREAM CHEESE, cut into very thin strips (about 1/4 inch)
RED ONION, cut into very thin strips
AVOCADO, cut into very thin strips
NORI (sheets of seaweed available at most grocery stores). Also called sushi nori
Step 1:
Prepare sushi rice about 1 hour before you will need it, as it needs time to cool down completely before you roll it into your sushi.
Step 2:
Boil water. Add rice. Reduce heat. Cook just until rice absorbs water.
Step 3:
While rice is cooking, in a small saucepan combine vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer just until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
Step 4:
As soon as rice is cooked, pour hot vinegar mixture over rice. Stir in. Cover and let stand, to let liquid absorb into rice. Leave it sitting until cool - you can put it into the refrigerator if you like, but wait at least 15 minutes first, to make sure there is enough time for the hot liquid to soak into the rice, or your rice will not be fully cooked!
Step 5:
While you are waiting for your rice to cool, you can prepare your other ingredients, as described in the list.
Step 6:
When the rice is cool, you are ready to make your sushi. Place a sheet of nori onto a slightly damp tea towel.
Step 7:
Spread about 2 tablespoons of rice in a line at one end of the sushi. Use the spoon to flatten it out to make a very thin layer. Try to keep the rice within the first 1/3 or 1/2 of the nori closest to you. This will make it easier to roll it later.
Step 8:
Add strips of salmon on top of the rice, just one thin line along the width. Beside it, add one thin line of carrot sticks along the width. Add all fillings this way.
Step 9:
Roll the edge closest to you over the lines of fillings, then roll tightly to the end. Use a few drops of water to help the end stick to the roll, if needed.
Step 10:
Slice the roll into six or eight equal pieces. If you like, you can serve it with soya sauce, or wasabi (very hot!).Labels: sushi make easy |

| How To Make Easy Snack to Toddler |
Quick easy step to bussy mom.This is a nostalgic dish I used to whip up with two of those four younger sisters I was telling you about. This is a fun one for kids over ten years old--they can help chop, peel and arrange. And because it has fruit, cheese and veg--it's terribly good for them!
Instruction
Step 1:
Slice a few mild cheeses like Monterey jack, Swiss and cheddar, but try at least one "stinky" cheese. A good place to start might be bleu cheese--because you could drizzle some honey over it for added palatability.
Step 2:
Slice (or assign a slicer) Granny Smith apples, oranges, bananas and grapes. Also try either kiwi, mango or pomegranate--at least one fruit which is new to them.
Step 3:
Chop up some broccoli florets, carrots, (not the mini orange thumbs!) radishes, and hearts of palm. The hearts of palm are, obviously, not your run-of-the-mill crudite-platter offering. But kids are usually interested in their salty-sweet soft-crunch. And it expands their horizons!
Step 4:
You could whip up a batch of my famous Green Goddess dressing and dip. Or, if you're lazy, a pre made container of a dill dip.
Step 5:
Choose an arranger and a garnisher, depending on how many kids you're cooking with. Pile everything on one, huge platter and serve with mini plates.
Relevent Tips
Each time you make it, use a different cheese, veg and fruit. Even if they hate it, you're trying something new. Maybe they'll loathe hearts of palm, but they'll be mad for papaya!Labels: snack again |

| How To Make Asian Fried Rice |
The secrets to fried rice are simple, but most cooks who make fried rice are not aware of them—thus their creations do not taste authentically Asian. Remember these two secret ingredients, if nothing else: sesame oil and ginger root.
Instruction
Thing you'll need:
Non-stick frying pan
Sesame oil and other veggie oil
White or green onion
Veggies, fresh or frozen
One or two eggs
Ham or shrimp or tofu
Soy sauce
Made-ahead medium or long-grain white rice
Grated ginger root
Step 1:
Start with a tablespoon of sesame oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly scramble an egg or two in the oil, and remove it. Add another tablespoon of sesame oil, and to that, a few tablespoons of chopped onions (green onions and their tops are especially good, but half of a medium yellow or white onion will do as well), and anywhere from several tablespoons of chopped ham to an entire cup of ham if you like. You can also use shrimp, or a combination of the shrimp and ham, or use tofu. If you do use shrimp, add it just before serving and only heat it through—do not overcook it. If using tofu, fry it separately in a little oil and some soy sauce until it develops a slight skin, then add back to the other frying pan). Stir fry until the onion is almost translucent.
Step 2:
Add about a cup of any vegetables you like, and stir fry until cooked through. (Use firm vegetables, not mushy ones, as described in Veggies, below.) Sweet frozen peas are recommended. Chopped snow peas are great too. Soybeans (eda mame) add a lot of protein.
Step 3:
Add three cups cooked and cooled medium- or long-grain write rice. (It’s important that the rice be “dry.” Moist rice will make your fried rice gooey. If you make more rice than you need one time, then use the leftover for fried rice. Or, simply make rice ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight or let it rest until it is cool.)
Step 4:
Lightly stir fry the rice for a few minutes—it does not need to be cooked—just tossed with the seasonings.
Step 5:
Add 1 tablespoon grated ginger root and about a tablespoon of soy sauce to taste. Add ground pepper to taste. Stir fry for another minute, making sure the soy sauce gets evenly distributed in the rice. Just before serving, add in the scrambled egg, chopping the eggs with your spatula to separate into small bits. Serve.Labels: Asian Fried Rice |

| How To Make a Sandwish |
Hallo great sandwish fellow! Though surely had it not been him, someone would have popularized this classic portable meal. Now anyone can throw stuff between bread and eat it, but a great sandwich is made with meticulous touches. Obsessive, yes, but that is how to make a great sandwich.
Instruction
Things you'll need
2 slices of choice bread
Mustard
Mayonnaise
Choice of meats
Choice of cheese
Tomato slices
Choice of lettuce: Iceberg, romaine, green leaf or any other
Pickle slices
Raw onion rings
Black olive rings
Sweet banana pepper rings
Italian dressing
Salt and pepper
2 green olives with toothpicks
Step 1:
Choose a bread. Make it special like tuscan herb, or maybe a homemade variety. The bread is on either end of your sandwich. If you want it to be great, then you’ve got to do better than manufactured breads stacked in plastic bags on grocery store shelves.
Step 2:
Spread your choice of mustard evenly over one side of bread, all the way out to the edges. Meat goes on top of this.
Step 3:
Make your choices of meats and cheeses to compliment each other. Roast beef or ham go great with Swiss. Bologna and pepperoni are good with cheddar or American.
Step 4:
Heat meat and cheese. Spread sliced roast beef in a skillet and sear both sides. Then cover with slices of Swiss and let it melt. Use a spatula to scoop this on to mustard slathered bread.
Step 5:
Spread a few licks of mustard over cheese and distribute pickle slices evenly on top. Lay tomato slices to cover the bread width entirely and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer multiple lettuce leaves to cover the entire surface and sprinkle that with salt and pepper.
Step 6:
Top with onion, banana pepper and black olive rings. Lightly spurt with Italian dressing. Spread mayonnaise to evenly cover top bread and press sandwich together.
Step 7:
Slip a toothpick through two green olives and stick through either side of your masterpiece. Cut sandwich in half for ease of handling. Get ready to enjoy a great sandwich.Labels: Sandwish |
