Fantastic Teriyaki Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

- Veggies (I used: Broccoli, Bell Peppers, Garlic, Carrots, Onions, Other suggestions: Sweet peas, Asparagus, etc.)  

- Meat (it can be anything, beef, chicken, or i used pork)

- Teriyaki Sauce

Marinate 1 lb steak strips in Kikkoman's Garlic Teriyaki sauce -- a day ahead of time is best =)

Cook the meat FIRST and remove from pan and set aside.

In same pan and leftover sauce cook veggies, add 1/3Cup of Teriyaki Sauce. When the veggies are the right tenderness add the cooked meat, add more Teriyaki to taste.

Done!

Cornbread Tamale Pie

This is my comfort food, 

Mom used to make it all the time growing up and it's become a favorite in my house

Ingredients:

1 lb hamburger 

1 Chopped onion

4 cloves of chopped garlic

1 can (6oz) tomato paste

1 1/4 C water

1 TBS Chili powder 

1 tsp salt

Dash of pepper

1 Can of drained corn

2 packages of "Jiffy" Cornbread mix 

(calls for Eggs, Milk)

Preheat oven to 425

Brown the hamburger, onion and garlic together. Drain grease.

Add the rest of the ingredients, cover and simmer for 15 min. 

While simmering, Mix the cornbread mix according to the package 

(I usually use 2 packages of cornbread mix - I find one doesn't fully cover)

Pour meat mixture into greased 13in x 9in casserole dish. Spoon cornbread mixture over top of meat mixture and Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cornbread is done 

(check with a toothpick through the bread to see if its done)

Serve and Enjoy!
