Servings: 6

Calories: 340kcal

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup pork belly or chicken - sliced into thin strips
• 1 cup shrimps
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch - dissolved in 1 cup water
• 3-4 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 cup cauliflower florets
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot - sliced diagonally
• 1 cup sugar snap or snow peas
• 1 small bell pepper - cut into diagonal cubes
• 1 bunch pak choi - cut into smaller pieces
• 1 medium red onion - cut into 4
• 3-4 pieces mushroom - each cut into 3-4 slices
• 5 pieces young corn - each cut diagonally into 2
• salt as needed

Instructions

• In a wok or big skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Saute garlic until softened. Add the pork belly slices and cook, stirring regularly, until all sides are done. Add the shrimps and do the same.
• Pour the cornstarch mixture into the wok and add the oyster sauce and ground pepper and bring to a boil. Doing this from the beginning keeps the veggies crisp and helps prevents over-cooking them. Take out the shrimps.
• Add the first batch of vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and sugar snap peas and cook covered for about 2-3 minutes.
• Add the rest of the vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp and the sauce has thickened. Add the shrimp back. Season with salt if still needed. Serve hot.

Toasted Marshmallow White Russian

PREP TIME5 minutes

TOTAL TIME5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounce kahlua
• 2 ounces vodka
• 1 ounce heavy cream or milk
• 1 ounce Torani Toasted Marshmallow syrup
• Optional: marshmallows

Instructions

(Optional step): Heat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper then arrange a few marshmallows. Place the tray on the top shelf of the oven, directly under the broiler. Watch carefully! The marshmallows will only take 1-2 minutes, and they will burn quickly if you don't take them out.

Fill a short glass with ice. Add the kahlua and vodka, then slowly add the cream, and finally the Torani syrup. Stir to combine.

Top your glass with a toasted marshmallow or two and enjoy!

@momtochloe, Thank you!  I have to get my IV today. I haven't had it since June so I am ready. They had to put some distance between that and the stomach/ esophagus  surgery. I am doing OK, still not eating solid food yet.(some mashed potatoes though) I am glad to be a year older!!!!

Good morning my friend @tiny 2 , happy, Happy Birthday although having to go to the doctor was not my idea of a good way to spend your special day.  Perhaps a piece of cake would be in order:
