Sandra's Easy Cooking

Instructions

1. Slightly wet a cotton kitchen towel and clean oyster mushrooms.
2. Separate or cut off the mushroom top from the stem. We will use only stems for this recipe.
3. Using a fork, apply pressure up and down lengthwise, all around.
4. Then with fingers, pull apart oyster mushroom stems.
5. Combine all the spice mix ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix well, add oil and like juice, and olive oil. 
6. Add shredded mushrooms into a bowl with spices and coat well.
7. Place on the baking sheet and bake or air fry at 350F for 7-10 minutes.
8. After mushrooms are cooked (sometimes I like to cut them in hlaf becase they could be too long), add about 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheese, a shredded Mexican blend of cheeses work best.
9. Add seasoned mushrooms and roll tortilla into a thin roll; place in the baking sheet and continue.
10. This makes 6 to 8 Mission Fajita size tortillas.
11. Brush each rolled tortilla with olive oil and air fry at 375F for 10 minutes.
12. Serve with pico de gallo and guacamole.
    
    

Instructions

ACTIVATE YEAST

1. It is not necessary if you have instant dry yeast, but I like to do it. So warm up milk for about 20 seconds in the microwave-safe bowl or a cup until warm to touch, then add sugar and dried yeast.
2. Mix and allow the yeast to start to bubble.
3. When you see yeast get bubbly and thicken on the top it is ready. It usually takes about 3-5 minutes, depending on the temperature. Never use hot milk or water.

PREP DOUGH

1. Measure and combine flour, salt, sugar, PB2 Pure Peanut
   Powder, etc. Mix it together.
2. Add activated yeast.
3. Using the kneading attachment of your mixer start mixing slowly while adding 2 mixed or beaten eggs, room temperature/soften butter, and the rest of the warm milk.
4. Adjust mixer to a higher speed and keep kneading for about 3-4 minutes or until the dough is
   becoming a ball and pulling away from the sides of the mixer bowl.
5. Do not overmix, there is no need. The dough will be softer on the touch. Oil dough and cover. Place dough either in the oven or microwave so it could rise. If your oven has a proof setting this is a perfect time to use it, if not just keep it in the turned-off oven. Allow it to rise for the first time for about 45 minutes to up to 1 hour.
6. It will double in size. Knead, then allow it to second proof for another 45 minutes, knead. This is the time to place in the fridge for about 6-8 hrs./overnight before making rolls.

NOTE: You do not have to chill the dough however they do come out so much better, plus it is easier to roll out. After chilling, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before rolling out. This is optional!

FILLING

1. Split the dough into two equal parts. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. The size is approximately (38cm) 15 inches wide and (53cm) 21 inches long. You do not have to split dough, but I liked these smaller rolls.
2. Mix PB2 Powder with water to create spreadable Peanut Butter. Follow the directions in the back of the package. The spread needs to be just a bit thinner, so considers adding a tablespoon or two more.
3. It would really be hard to spread it is not. On top of PB spread, evenly add chocolate spread. You can add chopped nuts if you prefer.
4. Slowly roll the dough until you reach the end. Pull ends to have an even end. Slice it in half, then cut the cylinder into equal slices. These
   two dough parts make 20-22 smaller rolls.
5. Place cut side up and evenly spaced 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
6. Cover pan with a cotton towel and set aside in a warm place to let rise for at least 30 minutes to one hour. if you have an oven with a proof setting place in the preheated oven for proof.

BAKING

Preheat oven to 375F and bake them for 25 minutes. This also
depends on your oven, and baking dish.

NOTE: If you are baking in the ceramic dish, then bake at a lower temperature, I would do the same if you choose to bake it in cast iron, however, for a regular metal/nonstick baking dish, bake at 375F for about 25 to 27 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

ICING

1. While the rolls are baking make the icing. I like it with a cream cheese-based, so you would just mix it together until nicely blended. I added PB2 Powder for a delicious warm peanut butter taste. If you prefer regular classic icing, then whisk together the
   cream, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
2. Transfer the pan of cinnamon rolls to a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 5 minutes. Drizzle or spread the icing all over the rolls and serve immediately.
3. Keep in the fridge after they
   cool down for 3 days. Reheat before eating for the best taste.

Instructions

1. To Laura’s Lean Ground Beef, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are combined then divide the meat approximately into 4
   equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into the thick burger to fit your bread slices, then make a deep depression in the center with your thumb.
2. Place on the platter, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, turn the stove to medium and heat your skillet, griddle, or a frying pan then add unsalted butter.
4. When the butter is melted, add the onion, toss to coat in the
   butter. Toss every 2 to 3 minutes until the onions are soft and golden brown. About 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside!
5. You can grill burgers or use a skillet/griddle. Since it is a grilling season, I thought of making my burger on the grill.
6. For the grill: Grill the burgers until golden brown about 4 minutes on one side, flip, and grill 4 minutes for medium-rare. Please make your burger doneness your preferences.
7. If you are cooking on the sauté pan, skillet, or griddle: Heat the oil in the skillet or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer; Turn down the heat t medium, then cook burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. When done set aside.
8. Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread.
9. Place a slice or two of cheese, a tablespoon of caramelized onions, a burger, a bit more of carnalized onions and top it off with the cheese. Place another slice of bread on top.
10. Heat your skillet or a griddle, then toast the sandwich on both
    sides for a few minutes until golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted. Slice in half and serve right away.
