Veal Nachos : What to do with left over veal? Make Nachos!!!!

Have you ever wondered what to do with left over veal? Why not turn it into an amazing nacho dish? Here is how:

Ingredients:

Left over cooked veal
1 tub of humus
1 jar of olives
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 bag of nacho chips
1 jar of salsa


Cooking Instructions:

1. Dig around your fridge and find some left over meat. In this case, Veal!!!  Slice it into tiny pieces and put it aside.

2. Grate some mozzarella cheese. Pizza quality skim mozzarella cheese is fantastic because it is stringy and has less fat.

3. Lay a layer of nacho chips in a oven proof dish and sprinkle the cheese over top. Feel free to make a couple layers of cheese and chips.

 4. Dice some olives and spread them evenly over the nacho chips.

5. Add your thinly sliced veal over top of the chips.

6. Hit toast on your toaster oven and push the dial to the middle. Like 5/6 out of 10. Then wait patiently until the toaster oven clicks. If you see the cheese browning then take it out.

7. Serve with your favorite salsa and humus.

8. Enjoy!!!!!

Green Tea Chocolate Pancakes: Make breakfast the most important meal of the day!


Pancakes are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or just plain old dessert. Spice up a favourite pancake recipe by adding green tea and chocolate chips into the mix.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of mat cha green tea powder
1 cup instant pancake mix
1/2 cup water
1 stick of butter (for a vegetarian option use margarine)
1/4 cup of chocolate chips

Cooking Instructions:

1. Purchase "Mat Cha" green tea at any Asian supermarket. Do not purchase Zen cha because it will not work.

2. Simply combine mat cha green tea and instant pancake mix together.


3. Add water until the mix is like a thick paste. Too much water and it will not rise. I recommend adding water until it looks like a thin pudding.

4. Spoon out the pancake mix on a nonstick pan on medium heat. Make sure you grease the pan with butter before spooning the mix.

5. Add some chocolate chips. Do not add them into the mix and then pour because it will be uneven.

6. Fry until golden brown, plate, and serve.
