 Monday Night Home-Made Bruchi's 

Cheese Steak and Chicken Subs!















My husband and I are always trying to re-create the food we out at restaurants. Maybe we are frugal, maybe we love to cook or maybe we like to prove to ourselves how easy it is to make our favorite foods right at home! 

This is another very versatile recipe. You can use peppers and onions. You can add your favorite steak sauce while cooking or just leave it plain with cheese for the kids. However you decide to create you sub, it will be all yours! 

Cheese Steak Subs (Beef or Chicken)

* 1.5 lbs of top round beef or boneless skinless chicken breast
* 1 onion ( red, yellow, or white, it's really your choice)
* 1 green bell pepper (optional)
* 1 package of  melty cheese (your choice again, can be   
   swiss, provolone, white American etc.)
* A-1 sauce for sauteing or another favorite steak sauce of yours
* 4-6 sub rolls


Start by cutting your beef or chicken into smaller pieces. Place the meat in your food processor and pulse three or four times until it has the desired consistency. For chicken you will have to pulse less because it is  more tender and processes more easily.
Then your going to want to slice and dice your onions and bell peppers. You can even add mushrooms if you'd like. Next you want to add everything in a hot skillet with some olive oil, salt and pepper and fry till the meat is cooked thoroughly. Just before it is finished cooking add in your A-1 or favorite steak sauce.

Turn off heat and leave in the pan while you prepare your subs. Slice your sub roll, but not all the way through. At this point you may want to add mayo and toast your bun under the broiler. Maybe you want it plain? Add a few slices of your favorite cheese and scoop some of that hot beef or chicken mixture onto your sub roll.   ENJOY!

Gather yourself and a couple of gals for this fun night! Apply for the Veet Easy Wax Sensational House Party! You'll have to wear shorts soon enough so why not have the smoothest softest legs that will be the envy of your girlfriends! They'll think you went to the spa or spent hours with a complicated kit to get legs like that! Veet created an electric roll on kit that is super easy and painless to use at home.

If chosen to host this party you and your girlfriends will spend some serious quality time giving each other mani-pedis, drinking smoothies, eating snacks, and enjoy a great movie with other fun activities. Make it a night to remember and pencil in some time for yourself.

Go the link I have provided for you to sign up. Answer the questions somewhat honestly. They are not always looking for the person who knows the most people and can throw the biggest most glamorous party. I have been chosen to do a few and it was a great experience with close friends, family and neighbors! There will be 1,000 hosts chosen for this party. While you're there apply for other parties that interest you. Good luck!

DIY Microwave Popcorn!










Want to make delicious homemade popcorn with out using that pot, or without having to buy one of those 80's air poppers that you got rid of years ago! You can make great popcorn right out of your microwave and you don't have to pay more to get that stuff in the box. In my house everyone has different tastes. I go for the low fat stuff, my kids and husband like the extra movie theater butter types. Just follow the recipe you'll find from the link and you can make many different variations. I like to pop mine plain with just salt. When you don't have all that butter it can be tricky to get that salt to stick. What I do is I use whatever cooking spray we have on hand like olive oil, butter, it doesn't matter really, then I give my bowl a few quick sprays and sprinkle on salt, even garlic powder. What ever your taste buds crave! I love this idea because not only is it frugal, but it is versatile! Happy popping!

New Year with your family!

Taking your family to your local ethnic markets can be so fun and interesting.It doesn't matter which one Russian, Italian, Mexican, Indian or Oriental market, all of the different foods, merchandise, and smells are sure to excite you and your children's senses. Take a look at some of things we picked up!

Sweet Rice Crackers

Roasted Sea Weed Snacks

Barbecue Pork Buns
In case some of you like myself were wondering was Chinese New Year is all about I have found some literature that helped me understand it a little better.

Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival, the literal translation of the modern Chinese name. Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally ran from Chinese New Year's Day itself, the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, making the festival the longest in the Chinese calendar. Because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar, the Chinese New Year is often referred to as the "Lunar New Year".

The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Traditionally, the festival was a time to honor deities as well as ancestors. Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations, including Mainland China, Hong Kong,Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mauritius,Philippines,and also in Chinatowns elsewhere. Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors.
