Veal Piccata is an easy quick dinner. You can certainly use chicken breast or even pork chops if you don’t have or want to eat veal. The best veal to use is top round cutlets they are more tender than leg cutlets.

One Pot Chili Mac Recipe

Traditional Hot and Sour soup calls for tree fungus, tofu and bamboo shoots I am omitting them in this recipe. My grocery does carry tofu but I really […]
Mandarin Pancakes
I love Moo Shu Pork and the pancakes you get with it. I decided to make Peking Duck during the Pandemic lock down. To go with it I needed to make these homemade. They were really easy and came out fantastic. They can be made in larger batches and frozen as well.
