Homemade Won Tons

1 package Won Ton wrappers (I used Nasoya brand found in the produce section)

1 package cream cheese (softened)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Preheat oil on the stove or deep fryer. Make sure it is hot enough (read for heat specifications on the won ton package.) In the meantime, mix the cream cheese and garlic and onion powder together until smooth. You can add more garlic or onion powder to your liking if needed. Put a dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the middle of the won ton wrapper and fold in half. Wet the ends of the wrapper with either water or egg whites and press ends together with fingers or a fork. Deep fry until they start to turn golden. Pair with beef and broccoli and chow mein.

Homemade Chow Mein

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 TBSP brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• ground black pepper, to taste
• 2-3 TBSP vegetable oil
• 3 (5.6 oz) packages refrigerated Yaki Soba noodles (found in the produce section of the grocery store.. usually the 3 packages are sold together in one 17oz. pack)
• 2/3 cup chopped celery (chopped diagonally)
• 1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups chopped cabbage

In a small bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and black pepper. Set aside.

Remove Yaki Soba from packages and discard included flavoring packets. Rinse noodles well, drain, and set aside.

Heat oil in a large wok or skillet. Add celery and onion and saute for about 1-2 minutes or until onions start to become soft and transparent. Add cabbage and saute an additional minute or so.

Toss Yaki Soba noodles and soy sauce mixture with the vegetables over medium-high heat for an additional 2-3 minutes or until noodles are heated through.

Jalapeno Poppers

1 package cream cheese, softened

1 package bacon

8-12 jalapenos

Depending on how hot your want your jalapeno poppers, cut them in half and cut out the seeds and the membrane if you want them mild. If you want some kick leave some of the membrane. Spoon in cream cheese to fill the jalapeno. I usually cut the bacon in half and wrap each jalapeno with bacon. Cook for 15-20 minutes at 400. If they don't look crisp enough after that time broil them for a few more minutes until the bacon is crisp. This is a great appetizer or finger food for football games, game night, etc. Enjoy!

Homemade Lemonade

5 1/2 cups water

Juice lemons until you have around a cup and a half of juice. Add sugar and juice to a pitcher then add luke warm water. Stir together and refrigerate until cold. Note-if you are using artificial sweetnener add a half a cup at first then add more to your taste if desired.
