Meat Pies & Pizza
I ended up making taco meat with onion, and getting a Rotisserie chicken for my two ingredient meat pies and pizza. 
I let the taco meat cool a bit, and chopped up the chicken. I had used a half of a purple onion in the taco meat mixture, and reserved the other half for the chicken portion. Rolled out the chilled dough mixture with some flour on the counter. 
Somewhat sectioned out the portions. Scooped the meat in each, and folded the dough over.
I added some shredded cheddar cheese to both meats, and yes, I cheated and used packaged shredded cheddar cheese. For the remaining dough, I rolled it thin, and placed it in a baking sheet that I sprayed with baking spray.
Spread the remaining taco meat on half, and the chicken on the other half.
Added BBQ sauce to the chicken, and cheese to both.
For the pies, I pressed the edges down, and used a fork to seal the edges.
Baked them both at the same time with the pizza on the bottom rack at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. 
These were really good. I will make the dough again, and the pizza. Not sure about the meat pies. I need to vary the recipe a bit, and work out the kinks on the moisture with the chicken ones. I loved the taco meat ones.
David really enjoyed all of it, and we had plenty left over. I will only make enough dough next time for one serving of pizza or meat pies as this was too much dough to use up in one serving.

Two Ingredient Bread
Yes! Two Ingredient Bread…Use equal parts of non-fat Greek yogurt, and self-rising flour. I used two cups of each due to the fact I wanted to try several recipes. I kept the dough in the refrigerator in a sealed container after it was mixed and kneaded. 
Mix, kneed, and use.
My first attempt was bread knots, and they were okay. Section off some, roll out, and twist and bake.
I did use an egg wash, as suggested on one website, although it didn’t add anything. to my liking.
Second attempt was bread sticks, and again they were okay-a bit better due to the fact that I added caraway and sesame seeds to them. (Should have used the egg wash here.)
I liked the chew of the bites a little bit better. My thoughts are that keeping them thinner took away some of the bite in the knots.
I will be trying the meat pies and pizza later on in the week.
So…have you tried this magically bread? What results did you have?

Korean Beef Bulgogi
I wanted to have Korean Beef again, but knew that I need to change up the beef due to my surgery. I needed something that would be easier on my stomach. I found boneless Ribeye steaks, and score!
For the marinade I used the following:
1/2 cup lite soy sauce
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons fresh ginger
2 tablespoons sesame oil
some sugar (not much)
red pepper flakes (again not much)
Placed the marinaded beef in a Ziploc bag and placed it in the refrigerator for 4 days (due to time management and other things going on –we didn’t cook).
So, when we finally decided to cook…ha. I sauteed the carrots, and onions until cooked. Then seared the steak (one to two minutes per side).
Topped the beef with sesame seeds, and served with the cooked onions and carrots (also sliced some green onions for extra flavor and crunch). Served with the Kimchi Radish, and some Thai pickles. David had his over rice.
The beef was super tender (as it should be just with the cut of beef), and then marinating for 4 days – ugh. But the flavor was amazing, if I do say so myself. I so will be cooking this again. I will say that I need to cook the onions on higher heat with more soy sauce? Not sure but overall super yummy, and it satisfied my cravings.

Avocado Fries
I have seen posts about these around for a while…so I found several recipes and decided to combine a couple of them. I used one avocado – and peeled and sliced.
Combine:
1/2 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 Panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
Whip together an egg, and some water (not much) to create an egg wash. Dip the avocado slices in the wash to coat, then in the Panko mixture. Press down slightly.
Place on a baking sheet – spray first – and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees or until crispy.
I must confess, I didn’t like these at first. Maybe because I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after a bit, I really did enjoy them. I will make them again, and adjust the amount of ground flax seed, and longer baking time as I like things crunchier.
Blessings.
In love
I need this today…maybe you do as well.
