Fried Kohlrabi and Noodles

This recipe is a simple one that I have recently created because I wanted to try kohlrabi. For anyone who doesn't know what kohlrabi is, it means, "German turnip" and it is a member of the cabbage family. It is loaded with vitamins such as A & C, and has plenty of dietary fiber.
Here is what kohlrabi looks like, I have a purple one and a white one. Both colors taste the same.


*Note: Most of these measurements will be estimated because I usually just eye-ball everything when I'm cooking.

Fried Kohlrabi and Noodles (This recipe makes about 2 servings.)

Ingredients:
~1 1/2 cups pasta noodles (I like to use Penne Rigate style.)
~1 kohlrabi, medium sized
~4 tbsp butter
~1 clove of garlic, minced
~1 tsp garlic & pepper seasoning (about)
~1 tsp italian seasoning (about)
~1 tsp thyme (about)

Directions: Make pasta noodles like normal (boil water, salt, etc.). Shred kohlrabi (using a food processor makes this process a lot easier). Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Then place shredded kohlrabi into the pan and stir occasionally. Add both seasonings, thyme and minced garlic to the pan also. When the kohlrabi is turning a little brown and crispy, add the noodles and another 2 tablespoons of butter. Let fry for about 2-3 minutes. Enjoy!

Best Chicken Tenders Ever!

This recipe is one of Sebastian's favorite's! It leaves the chicken so juicy and wonderfully cooked. Go on and give it a try!

Panko-Parmesan Breaded Chicken Tenders

Ingredients:
~1 1/2 cups Panko bread crumbs
~1/4-1/2 cup parmesan cheese (depending on how much you like)
~1 tsp garlic and pepper seasoning
~1 cup of mayonnaise
~6-8 chicken tenders

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix Panko bread crumbs, cheese, and seasoning onto a place. Place mayo in a small bowl or plate, Take each chicken tender one by one and roll them in mayonnaise. Them roll them in the Panko-cheese mix. Place the chicken fingers in an oven safe pan (I prefer using Pyrex glass bakeware) and cover with aluminum foil. Place chicken in oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove aluminum foil and let chicken continue to cook for another 10-14 minutes depending on the size of the chicken tenders. When the Panko on the chicken starts to become a little golden brown, the chicken is done! Enjoy!

Cheap/Easy Way to Make Glazed Donuts!

Hello everyone! Want to learn a CHEAP and EASY way to make glazed donuts?! Yeah, sure donuts are bad for you but once in a while doesn't hurt! Get in the kitchen and start makin' an American favorite!

You will need:

  • a fryer w/oil

  • a small pan

  • a medium sized bowl

Ingredients for donuts:

  • canned biscuits

Ingredients for donut glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 1 tsp. vanilla

  • 1 tbsp. honey (optional, if you want a honey glaze) 


Here's how to do it!
Directions: Unwrap the canned biscuits and form the dough into about 1/2 inch diameter balls. Warm up the fryer. As the fryer is warming up, take a small pan and mix the milk, vanilla and honey (if you chose a honey glaze) and put it on medium heat. You do not need to bring this mixture to a boil, just so that it is hot to the touch. Then sift the powdered sugar into the pan and mix until the glaze is nice and smooth. Once again, heat the glaze so that it is hot to the touch. Place warm water in a medium sized bowl and place the small pan with glaze in it, into the bowl of water. When the fryer is ready, begin placing the dough balls into the oil and it should only take about 3-5 minutes for them to become golden brown. When the donuts are golden brown, take them out and place them on a cookie sheet. Then proceed to dip them individually into the glaze and back onto the cookie sheet. Let them cool before you them!
And there you have it! A cheap and easy way to make glazed donuts! Enjoy!
