Teriyaki Beef with No-Pain Lo Mein--Molly age 12

Sandra was today's photographer. 
May be a while before we let her do that again.

Picking green onions for dinner. 

Please ignore the tight shorts.  Amelia was bragging today that they've fit her since she was 18 months old. 


A great picture of yours truly. 
Eventually she took pictures of the food. 
Finished Product. 


Molly's Take:  It was good.  Better noodles that the peanutty noodle recipe. 

Amy's Take:  Molly is the oldest and my most ambitious cook.  Last summer she made a recipe from Family Fun magazine called Teriyaki Beef with Peanutty Noodles.  http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/teriyaki-beef-with-peanutty-noodles-864682/  She liked the beef, but not the noodles so much.  So today I suggested she make the teriyaki beef and try No Pain Lo Mein from Rachael Ray.  http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/no-pain-lo-mein-recipe/index.html Molly likes using some of Rachael Ray's  30-minute meal recipes (From the internet, not her cookbook. What kind of cookbook is that anyway--it doesn't even have pictures?!)  The meals never take 30 minutes.  Rachael assumes that we all also have three prep chefs off stage, but they work as complicated meals for an ambitious 12 year old.  In the future I will try to remember though, to not have Molly start one of these meals at 5:30 after a long day at the pool.  We didn't eat until 7:30.  It put all of us in the best mood ever. 

Other Takes:
Amelia:  Wouldn't eat the noodles until I let her put parmesan cheese on them.
