S/S Pork & Pineapple Stir Fry & Steamed Dumplings

[confusedturtle]

Has anyone else tried this? What did you think?

I made this last night for my kids and did it exactly as the recipe called for and they loved it. :love: They normally love pineapple, but did not care for it in the stir fry, they also thought the dipping sauce for the dumplings was a little spicy. I was shocked, they didn't want to taste any of it because it didn't look right to them (they are like all kids they hate it until they try it) and I have always had a tough time getting them to try dumplings, but once they tasted it they loved it. I loved all of it, I thought it was good. Now that I know I like it I am going to try it with all of the low or no sodium soy sauce & seasonings and low or no sugar added stuff too. That is how I normally prepare our dishes so we'll see. So what did you think?

I haven't tried the dumplings but I have done the stir-fry and LOVED IT! My son even discovered that he liked pineapple and is now begging me to buy fresh pineapple (now that it's not on sale!)

We also did the Chicken Penne in the DCB...I liked it...family not so much. I've done the Casbah Chicken before. Again, I loved it, the family doesn't like couscous so it wasn't a hit with them.

I can't wait to try the Rissotto and the new Pizza.

I did the Stir Fry, but used chicken in place of the pork. I also added carrots and doubled the sauce - because we like lots of sauce.

We all really liked it.

I'm anxious to try the dumplings, but had to wait until this weeks grocery budget to get the stuff to make them.

I bought the ingredients to make this for our cluster meeting Tuesday. Is the pork tenderloin as expensive as it is here? Here it's $4.99 a lb. So I am using boneless skinless chicken breasts which is only $2.99 a lb.

It's expensive here too, but my grocery store will give deep discounts for those items getting ready to "expire"...so I go early in the day and pick it up then. And I'm not worried about the date, because it's usually a day or two away from expiring and I'm making it that day (or it goes right into the freezer). I've gotten some sweet deals this way.

I do this also, you can save as much as 50% in some cases. You have to get there early though, otherwise they get boughten up!
