Chicken Chebureki

I love making these simple, easy, and fast to make Chebureki for lunch. You can fill them with absolutly any type of ground meat and they will taste great but I personally prefer chicken.

I have not yet made the dough from scratch but hoping to learn how to make that in the near future... Not sure if its worth all the hassel as I am not very fond of making any types of dough. But this will work for now. I bought these Fresh Uncooked Tortillas at Costco not sure how much they were but very very worth every penny.

Ingredients:
1 lb. Ground Chicken (I grind mine from chicken tenders at home)
Parsley, chopped just a handfull, to taste
1 small Red Onion, minced
2-3 stalks Green Onion, chopped
1/2 Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Top each tortilla as pictured below. I used few tablespoons of Veg Oil and few or Olive Oil but any kind will work. Cook on med for 4-5 min on each side or until well cooked. I do not put too much filling just a thin layer, so it only takes a few minutes on each side to cook thoroughly. 

I like to enjoy mine with Sweet Chili Sauce but will go pretty well with any other favorites you might have. My kids love it with sour cream :)

Enjoying the last few days of Summer

We are few weeks away from starting school. We are all very excited and anxious to begin this fun second year into homeschooling. I feel like there is still so much I need to learn and figure out what will be working best for the kids this time around. I know I have learned a lot but there's always more to find. We are starting school September 8th this year and I have not gotten my curriculum yet. My classroom is on hold right September 1st is when I will officially step into it and start getting ready I think one week will be enough right? I have planned a few of our group lessons for the first few months and everything prepared so I'm not worried about that! I'm just dreading the classroom organizing part, so Yea I really hope one week will be enough for me! But for now we are enjoying every day of our summer vacation!
Today we went to Lake Lure with the kids. They had a blast! This was our last trip to the lake this year, we could have still went many times considering the amount of summer hot days left but everything closes early here! The lake park closes August 24th and the rest of the fun activities have mostly been closed now since school started and some will be open Saturdays but who wants to go there on Saturday when there is only couple million people stuffed around there like sardines... Yea this is my story for today! Here are a few pictures from our Lake trip 

Insanely easy Gak-Flubber-Goo whatever you call it!

Today we made this super fun gak with my wonderful kids. Its so easy to make and will last up to a month maybe even more!

 

 

 

Here's what you will need:

4oz. Elmer's white glue
4oz. warm water
1/2 tsp Borax
1/4 cup warm water

 

 

So first step Mix first two ingredients well with a fork in a small bowl. Add in your food coloring. Set aside.

Next mix the Borax with 1/4 cup water until dissolved and slowly pour into the glue mixture mixing constantly. At first it will seen like you messed it up but don't let that fool you keep mixing and eventually get your hands into it and keep blending it into perfect smooth consistency! 

 

Store in ZipLock bags to prevent it from drying out. Or in a air tight container.

 

Flatbread Breakfast Pizza

So today is a quiet Sunday morning for me. My husband left to work and I wanted something different and something quick for breakfast. I took out my flatbreads and topped them up with my favorite breakfast toppings! Then stuck them in the oven for 8-10 min. And walla, I am now enjoying it as I post. With my nice cup of coffee...

You can find my favorite recipe for flatbread on my previous post.

Step 1 - I drizzeled the flatbread with my favorite Homemade sauce (Olive Oil, Vinegar, Garlic, Ranch Dry seasoning).
Step 2- Next I topped it with my favorite Guyere Cheese.
Step 3- Then come all your favorite goodies. I made mine with Spinach Leafs, Bacon, Roasted red peppers, Red onion and then lastly I plopped the egg right on top of it all.
Step 4- Cook in preheated oven at 450 for about 5-6 min then moved it to lower rack and turned on broil for 2-3 min or until egg is at your preferred consistency. Enjoy!

Homemade Flatbread Recipe

I absolutely love the things you can make and eat with this soft, somewhat fluffy, pocketless flatbread. I had a doctors appoitment last week and stopped by at Schlotzky's cafe and they served this amazing California Chicken Avacado Flatbread. I paid nearly $8 just for the flatbread alone and had it all to myself! It was topped with all my favorite goodies. I wanted more but figured there has to be an easy cheap way of making it at home! So I started my search for the perfect flatbread to begin with. And here is what my result come to be!

 I think I found the perfect recipe. I have made it three times already and its perfect every time, actually it gets better with each try for me. I love to have a nice sandwich with flatbread or just top it up and toast in oven serve as pizza. Or even cut it into pieces and toast in oven and serve as dipping chips with hummus (although they are not as hard and crunchy but still  easily serve with dip).

Anyways so try it out let me know what you thought of the recipe!

 

 HomeMade Flatbread Recipe

 Ingredients:

2 teaspoons yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

2/3 cup warm water

1/2 cup warm milk

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

 3 cups flour + more or less

 

 Directions:

1) Combine the yeast, sugar, water, milk, oil and salt in a mixer bowl. Mix with spoon let sit for 2 min.
2) Then add one cup of flour and using the dough hook attachment mix until combined gradually adding more flour as needed to make soft not hard dough. I added flour and mixed until the dough stopped sticking to the bowl. But be sure not to over-add flour! I then let it mix on low speed for about 5-8 min.
3) Remove the dough, place in lightly greased bowl, cover and place in warm place for an hour or I just let it sit in the sun for 30 min for faster resting/rising time.
4) When doubled in size place on lightly floured counter surface, divide in 6 pieces. Cover with towel let rest for 5 min that way it will be much easier to roll out. 
5) Roll out each piece to a size that your pan or griddle is or your preffered shape/size.
Fry in very lightly oiled pan/griddle about 2 min or each side on low-med heat....
Enjoy! Let me know how this recipe turned out for you and how you serve it!!!!
