I am big fan of Cooking Light.  They always have recipes that my whole family will enjoy, and they are good for you.  The November issue came and it was the best recipes of the last 25 years.  So there was plenty of recipes I missed, but some that I remember seeing and wanting to try the first time around.

Some of my favorite recipes, like Shrimp Cakes come from Cooking Light. And this Mongolian Beef is no exception.

This was one of the firsts I tried.  You all know I am a fan of stir fry, and Asian style dinners.  Garlic Beef Noodle Bowls are a staple in this house. We have a freezer full of beef, so this was an easy decision to try right away.  I served mine over rice instead of the suggested rice noodles.

It same together in less than 20 minutes, so it worked out great for a night we had football practice. Kung Pao Chicken is another favorite, because you can use up any veggies you have in the fridge. And you can have dinner on the table in minutes.

I have not ever had Mongolian Beef before, but now I look forward to trying it next time we order Chinese.  There was lots of flavor in the sauce, the meat was tender, and it was something everyone liked.  Even my 7 year old who doesn’t really like steak ate this.  My husband appreciated having the leftovers for lunch the next couple days as well.

Lots of better than take out recipes to try!  Szechuan Chicken looks like something my family would love. And these Chicken and Pork Potstickers are the best way to start any Asian meal. And I can tell you the next time I pick up beef on sale this Asian Rice and Beef Stir Fry will be on the menu.

    Oooh, I haven’t had a chance to look through the November issue yet but I am definitely trying this recipe! I’ve never had a restaurant version of this dish but I made a different recipe at home over the summer and loved it.
