Garlic Chicken Spring Rolls Recipe

Fresh basil, fresh mint or any herb will be a wonderful addition. For the crunch factor, you can add raw carrots, celery, bell peppers or cucumbers. In this recipe, I added pickled Vietnamese carrots and daikon that I always have on hand.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of boneless chicken
  • 4 Tablespoons of grape seed or vegetable oil
  • 2 medium cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons of sesame oil
  • 4 teaspoons soy sauce or fish sauce
  • fresh basil, mint or other herbs
  • fresh lettuce, chopped or torn in small pieces
  • carrots, celery, cucumbers, daikon radish or bell

I know I’m not the only one who has gone through this, so I thought I’d finally say it publicly after 3 years of blogging.

Food blogging made me chunky-er, pleasantly plump or what ever you want to call it. My jeans didn’t zip anymore.

I’m not comfortable with the term “fat”. That F-word is so harsh and ugly. As true, blunt and effective it might be to get the point across that I need to get my ass on the tread mill, I don’t like “fat”.

I love chunky and pleasantly plump because it’s delicious sounding. These are yummy words to say how much I appreciate my foods and eating, but are fun and kind enough to tell me to get my ass in the gym. Nicely. Or in an exercise class. Politely. To get my ass off the blogging chair and start moving again. The daily reminder was that my jeans didn’t zip anymore.

Grilled Artichokes and Stems with Garlic Tarragon Butter
The quality of the artichokes you are able to get will vary time it takes to cook them. Older artichokes are usually tougher and require longer cook times. Cook by feel and testing, rather than times. For this recipe, first you boil them to mostly cook the artichokes, then marinate them, then finish by grilling to give them an extra special “smokey” quality. When boiling, you’ll want the artichokes nearly all the way cooked, as they won’t cook much more on the grill.  The step is more for the smokey flavor. If »

Spring Fling is here and were celebrating Spring’s bounty with Deb, Editor of Food Network, Margaret of Away to Garden, Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen and Nicole of Pinch My Salt.

This week’s theme is artichoke and to participate, just share your artichoke recipe link in our blog on the comments below, as well as the blogs of all our participating friends!

Yesterdays trip to our local farm stand was better than we ever expected. They always have the most beautiful field of artichokes growing and when the artichokes go to flower, a sea of purple buds decorate the normally stark field lying alongside the major freeway.

Are you ready for some football?!!!  Ahhhh!!! More than likely you are probably sick of hearing about football and the Super Bowl.  ”If I see one more Super Bowl round up….” Ka Pow!

And I can hardly blame you. Between the analysts blabbering non-stop about every nuance between the teams, the journalists laying down words depicting anything interesting or not about the players, even the length of their hair, to the food bloggers gearing up their sites trying to capture every Super Bowl recipe searcher they can, it’s like Christmas cookies all over again! When will it ever end?!?!?

Three cheers for chicken wings or in our case, 3 recipes.  Neither of us were prepared to be such gluttons one afternoon when we made a batch of sriracha buffalo wings. It all started with a good sauce, then ideas started to churn in our heads about more options with some of our other sauce recipes. Things got a little carried away in the kitchen, so hopefully you’re ready for more chicken wing recipes this week!

Buffalo Wings Recipe

Buffalo wings are fairly hard to pass up at a party, unless you’re a vegetarian. And if that’s the case, there’s always a platter of crispy celery and carrots with the bonus buffalo wing sauce for  our veg-head friends. So everyone wins at our parties.

A memorable buffalo or chicken wing recipe is all about having a great sauce, one that will keep people licking their fingers between every touchdown hoorah. Adding a bit of heat and lively spice doesn’t hurt either and if your guests leave the party with their palates till tingling, then you know you have a winning recipe.

(Gỏi Gà or Gỏi Bắp Cẚi Gà) Vietnamese Chicken Salad Recipe 
There are many variations of this fabulous and classic Vietnamese Chicken Salad. The salad can be especially pleasing with different textures and flavors ranging from fried shallots, roasted peanuts, fried garlic and picked onions to different Vietnamese herbs such as mint, basil or the classic rau ram (Viet coriander). Some salads will be heartier with more chicken than cabbage, so you can choose your ratios and toppings to your personal taste. The chicken can be boiled, poached, grilled, fried or bbq.

For the Salad:

  • about 4 cups thinly shredded cabbage

My Mother has acquired an unprecedented fan base here on our blog since I started writing about her Nail Shop Eats escapades and she has absolutely no idea of her devoted following. Mom is not a woman of technology, social media nor simple “hand-phone” use. To explain to her what twitter, facebook, social media and blogging are would be too epic of an explanation for her. I would lose hairs just wondering where to start. She would be bored after the first 3 minutes.

Summer Fest is in full swing and  the theme for this week is corn, lovely sweet corn. To participate, read more about Summer Fest on Away To Garden from Margaret then come join the community!  Catch up on  last week’s theme on the bounty of Cukes N Zukes.

As a kid, I wasn’t particularly picky, but I had my likes and dislikes. We were lucky to grow up in a farming valley and during summertime there were the little farm stands filled with amazing freshly picked fruits and vegetables, not to mention ours and our neighbors’ gardens.  There were tastes of perfect fruit sweetness and textures of faultless crops which I will never forget.  Sugar snaps picked straight from the vine.  Raspberries gently slid from their dangling vine tips, carefully picked amongst the thorns. Walla Walla sweet onions straight from gentle hills and valleys of Walla Walla.  The sweet, chin dripping goodness of Hermiston watermelons, seeds spat as far as the lungs could push. And fresh corn snapped from its elephant-eye high perch.

There are few things which declare California summers like grilled shrimp and tequilla. Usually in separate moments, or side by side… Margarita anyone?!  However in an instant of lazy brilliance, we combined the two to form an intoxicating bit of deliciousness.
