This week we are trying Asian Ginger Beef over Bok Choy. The day has already been an adventure. While I started typing up this blog, I fed Diane her bottle. As she started to fuss I realized she was sitting in probably her biggest blowout poop yet. Meanwhile, my crazy Hess was insisting I change him right there and then into his monster pajamas at 9:30 in the morning!
Never mind that when I got out of the shower this morning, Hess had the breast pump on and the bra wrapped around his waist with the breast pump phalange over his peepee. Thank god it wasn't attached!
I did manage to get the food in the pot nice and early. Easy enough to do while Hess was eating breakfast and Diane was making poo. Just brown 1 1/2 lbs of beef chuck in 2 Tbsp of peanut oil, 3 green onions cut into 1/2 inch slices, and 6 garlic cloves. Add it to the crockpot with 1 cup of chicken broth, 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tsp of ground ginger and 1 tsp of Asian chili paste. Then put it on low for 7-8 hours, which leaves me plenty of time for lots of craziness. Then stir in 9 oz of cooked vermicelli noodles and 9 oz of Bok Choy cut into 1 inch pieces. Cook on high for 15 minutes. Garnish with 1/2 cup of minced cilantro. Sounds delicious and it has only 295 calories and 8 servings!
More tomorrow on how it turned out and maybe some more kid craziness!
