The ~Christian Country Farm~

I made this chinese dinner last night.....

  I thought it was good !!!!  But Roy is so picky, he wasn't at all crazy about it. Well I'll give you the recipe, you try it and you decide.....

I got my biggest metal skillet out and melted some butter, {which actually isn't good for you, usually I use olive oil or coconut oil, but I was out.} Now I melted that and then added fresh mushrooms, catfish nuggets, can of chopped clams, half  a onion, salt, seasoning salt, pepper, fresh broccoli, fresh tomatoes, a packet of stir fry seasonings  and my personal favorite.....spinach leaves {now I usually use fresh leaves, but this time I used half bag of frozen !!} Cook all together about 15-20 minutes.

Now while that is cooking, I boil a pot of water and when ready I put in a bag of whole wheat  wide noodles. Cook to almost intended time, shut off and then add a pound of shrimp to water and let it sit for about 3 minutes, drain and peel shrimp. Then add to skillet and heat for about 5 more minutes.

I heated egg rolls, too and should of put out fortune cookies,  which I have in the pantry, but I forgot to grab them !!! A nice added touch if your calling it a chinese dish, which I was, don't ask me why I just was !! LOL

Now you see I grew up with "concoctions" all my life with my mom, so naturally I grown to make them, too !! But now Roy is a meat and potatoes man, so he is not to crazy about anything out of the norm. {He said it probably would of been okay if there wasn't any catfish, but I liked it in there !!!} Please do not say eewww, without trying it first, as I have to tell my family ALOT of the time !!! And most of the time they like what I fix, just not last night !

You see to me that dinner was not just good, BUT good for you !!!! There's not a whole lot I don't like, I think everything I don't like you can count on one hand !!! So if any of you are game then give it a try and let me know what you think !!!!

I love to cook things that are new, my family isn't always so wild about it--but I don't venture THAT far off the trail of things I know they like.......but this sounds interesting.....and good :)
