EGG FOO YOUNG RECIPE
Note: The amounts I’ve listed are approximate because I don’t use a written recipe. The following directions will make 3 patties. Repeat to make more.
1 heaping cup of diced cabbage.
1 Tbsp chopped green onion
1/3 cup chopped protein (chicken, shrimp or pork)
Dash of salt
1/8 tsp sugar
2 eggs
Egg foo young directions: Add everything together in a bowl. Stir until egg is completely incorporated throughout. Let sit for about a minute. Preheat non-stick pan to medium heat and add about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons oil. Then give the ingredients a few stirs before pouring 3 equal size patties into pan. They should be approximately the size of a burger patty. Flip when bottom side is golden brown. Then cook for another couple of minutes or until egg is fully cooked and golden brown.
GRAVY RECIPE
(First make a roux by heating 1 cup of canola oil in small pot then stirring in 1 cup of flour until mixture is smooth and lightly golden)
4 cups water
4 tsp Better Than Bouillon beef concentrate
Salt and dash of sugar taste
Gravy directions: Boil water then add Better Than Bouillon. When at full boil slowly whisk in roux until desired thickness (you do not need all of it). Then add a dash of salt and sugar to taste.

Lemongrass Meatballs




Lemongrass Meatball

2 lb Turkey
1/2 chopped yellow onion
2 stalk lemon grass
4 cloves garlic
3-4 green onion

3 T fish sauce
5 T light soy
2 T sugar



INGREDIENTS
1.5 Lbs ground turkey or pork
1/4 yellow onion chopped
1 stalk lemongrass finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1-2 stalks green onion finely chopped

SEASONINGS
2 Tbsp fish sauce
4 Tbsp soy sauce
4 Tbsp sugar (can be reduced if desired)
1/2 tsp salt

Note: When chopping lemongrass only use the thicker bottom part.
Start by mixing seasoning ingredients together until sugar is mostly dissolved. In a large bowl add meat and pour In marinade. Mix together thoroughly. Then incorporate lemongrass, onion, garlic and green onion into the meat. Marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight. You can test cook a spoonful of meat to see if you need to adjust seasonings. Form 1.5 inch meatballs and pan fry until done. Turkey is great but fattier meat like ground pork would make these more juicy. Enjoy!

Noodles: soak rice noodles until almost cooked
Fry shredded carrots in Turkey oil
Add noodles
Add fish sauce, rice vinegar garlic powder (real garlic better— add with carrots)
Add spinach cook until noodles dond

Lactation Cookies

 New: May. 2023 (from Linda)
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups unbleached organic all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons brewer's yeast
3 tablespoons whole flaxseed
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons organic unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups organic cane sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips/chunks
feel free to add: unsweetened flaked coconut chopped almonds, 1 to 2 tablespoons of almond butter

Preheat the oven the 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, yeast, flaxseed, baking powder, soda, cinnamon and salt.

In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter and coconut oil on medium speed until creamy. 

Add in the sugar and beat on medium to high speed until fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed. 

Add in the eggs, beating until combined, about 2 to 3 minutes. 

Add in the vanilla extract and beat until combined again. 

Gradually add in the dry ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined and mixed. 

Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula until they are evenly dispersed.

Scoop the dough into 1-inch rounds (I use an ice cream scoop so they are fairly uniform in size) and place on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. 

Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the bottoms are just golden. Let cool completely before storing in a sealed container.
