Would You Watch Me Cook?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Haagen Dazs. All opinions are 100% mine.
I just heard about a new online talk show called Passion Profiles, which is hosted by ET Canada's Cheryl Hickey.  This is a "talk-show that takes a unique and rare glimpse at the authentic and demanding passions that define some of Canada's finest Chefs, Designers and Musicians. The viewer will be intrigued, inspired and entertained."  Sounds interesting, right?  The first episode will feature Food Network TV stars Anna and Michael Olson, and air on July 28, 2010. 

I would love to be featured on a show like this.  I may not be the world's best cook, but I find it fun cooking for my family, and staying on budget.  Or should I say, trying to stay on budget.  One of my favorite things to make is a London broil stir fry.  It is super easy, and feeds my family for a couple of meals.

The first thing I do is cut a London Broil into thin strips, and then into bite sized pieces.  Once that is done, I fry some mushrooms.  I love using fresh mushrooms, but I didn't have any at the time, so I used a jar of mushrooms.  Fry them in a little olive oil until they are brown and yummy looking.

While those are browning up, I put the broccoli in a microwave safe dish, and cook until they are tender.  Junior likes his broccoli a little more done than I do, so I make sure I cook it all the way before adding it to the pan.

When the mushrooms are brown, I add the London Broil to the pan, and let it brown up all around.  I usually have to cover the pan for a few minutes to get the beef cooked through.

While that is cooking, I mix the sauce.  I use Kikkoman's Broccoli-Beef stir fry mix, and it is delicious.  I usually use two packets, because I am cooking the entire London Broil.

Once the beef is done, I add the broccoli and the sauce.  I let this cook together while I get the noodles boiled. 
Once the egg noodles are done ( I like no yolks, and I use the entire package) I add them to the pan, and mix everything all together.


Now, picture me cooking this in front of a camera.  You'd watch that, wouldn't you?

Yeah, me neither.  I am going to leave the cooking to the professionals, and watch Passion Profiles.

:) yum. that looks really delicious!! i wish my family would eat stuff like this, too bad i have a bunch of picky-ish eaters. Bryan is really picky. Trevor will try almost anything, but doesn't always like it and the girls are on a four year old diet... they only eat a few things and aren't too interested in trying new things.

hope you guys enjoyed your dinner. xo
