Asian Chicken (Sauce)

I  found this recipe at http://www.epicportions.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-wild-wings-recipes/ while looking for some Buffalo Wild Wings sauce. This is the Asian Zing recipe. I wouldn't say that it tastes particularly close to the same as the resaurant, but it is really good! Pretty spicey, so if you don't like too much spice cut down on the sriracha sauce.

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons rice wine vinegar (used reg. vinegar)
1/2 cup corn syrup

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup chili-garlic sauce (sriracha!)
1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder


Directions:
None on the website, so I just mixed all of it together and brought it to a boil on the stove. Add to either chicken wings, or we just used frozen popcorn chicken!
*Another great main dish you can do with this recipe (with the popcorn chicken) is to put it on a flour tortilla with lettuce, cheese and ranch to make a wrap, or put on top of a salad!

Sticky Fingers

SUPER DUPER (is that really a word??) EASY! Trying this is a must!! This tastes really close to the sticky fingers they serve at Wingers. We've eaten it as is just the chicken (fried or baked) with fries or rice, the chicken on salad cut up, and as a wrap with lettuce, ranch and cheese. Ross is so in love with this, he requests it at least once a week. I've actually started to double it just so I can freeze it and have it on hand.

Ingredients:
3/4 C brown sugar
3 Tbl. Frank's Hot Sauce
2 Tbl. water

Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a sauce pot and heat until sugar is dissolved. Pour over prepared chicken and voila! We've discovered we like it on popcorn chicken best.

 O yea I got the recipe from Family Favorite Recipes here. Pict. to come, check out here blog to take a look.

Creamy Ricotta Spaghetti Sauce

This sauce is not your average spaghetti sauce, it's very creamy...and amazing. We ate it on chicken mozzarella ravioli that we got from Costco...yum! But it would be good on any noodles...fettuccine, penne...whatever!

8 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 onion (chopped)
1 C half & half
1/2 to 3/4 C of ricotta (to taste)
3 cans of crushed tomatoes (pureed in blender)
1 C parmesan cheese
bunch of fresh basil, or dried basil to taste
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp of italian seasoning

Directions:
1. Saute garlic and onion in olive oil until onion is clear.
2. Add 1/2 & 1/2 and ricotta cheese and stir until melted.
3. Add tomatoes, bring to a boil, then down to a simmer.
4. Add parmesan cheese and the rest of the seasonings.
