Lime Garlic Chicken with Zucchini and Rice
About this Cook
I'm nearly 26 years of age, married and working 9-5 (many nights later). I'm very active -yoga and walking. If I can, I would prefer to make most foods and snacks myself because I like to keep it fresh and healthy.
My favorite things to cook
pie, cookies & bars, muffins.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mexican dishes, i.e. enchiladas, tamales, tosatdas, rice and fideo and frijoles con queso. I just tried making sushi at home. It's so much easier than I expected it to be!
My cooking triumphs
Canning, cut out cookies, and convincing my husband to accept tofu into our meals.
My cooking tragedies
Not reading through a recipe before beginning, if I am not familiar with it. It just goes much smoother while you're preparing the recipe.

Connie's Zucchini "Crab" Cakes
This is a great recipe. I really wanted the real deal though. So, I did 1c. zucchini and 1c. crab. Also, had to improvise with what I had on hand. So, I left out the egg and added 3T of mayo instead (I'm PG and realized when I needed the egg that I had put the empty egg carton back in the fridge!). I also did not coat the cakes in flour as the consistency of the cakes we great just the way they were.

Beefy Chinese Dumplings
I cannot give this 5*s b/c I wasn't able to make it as is. I'm not able to eat cabbage so I made them with sweet potato as a substitute. I must say they are delicious! I steamed them for 10mins, but next time I'll bake them. B/c there were so many (aprox. 40-45 dumplings) I steamed enough for two and froze the rest to make later. My favorite kind of recipe!
