The Holidays are here and we're just busy, busy, busy. All the people at work wanted me to cook some more of those Crab-stuffed mushrooms for our potluck lunch on Christmas eve .
What to do with all the mushroom stems? Garbage disposal? Heck no, make a dish!
Get out the wok and heat some olive oil at a low temperature so you can saute the chopped mushroom stems, 1 large sweet onion and 1 green pepper ( you can use any kind. I actually prefer the reds but they are more expensive and I didn't have one on hand).
I started out to cook just these to be used in fajitas. But no, the cooking smells and the need for some lunches got me to experiment and see what I could come up with.
I chopped 6 ounces of precooked chicken breast into just under an inch-sized chunks, added 2 tablespoons of a low sugar hoisin sauce (KaMe brand=2 Tbsp=10g of sugar and 50 calories for 3 servings of the meal) and finally threw in approximately 40 peanuts. Mixed all together in the wok, this made 3 very good, tasty lunches. So as you can see, it doesn't have to be complicated or a lot of work to come up with something tasty.
Good news from the Doctor! I am getting off insulin and going to a pill. No more shots!!
They didn't hurt 99% of the time, but every once in a while you can hit something not quite right. Ouch!!!! This was proof that eating properly does work.
If i don't get a chance to post again, To everybody: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Mr Sunshine State
Congrats on the great news!!!
