Normally, I'm terrible with timing in the kitchen but I was able to work it out perfectly with this meal. I pre-cut all of my veggies and meat, made the wontons and while they were in the oven, made the rice in our new microwave rice cooker and started the stir-fry. The wantons and rice finished first and cooled just enough by the time the stir-fry was done. I was rather proud of myself.
Crab-Filled Crescent Wantons
These were simple to put together and tasty!
Hints:
- Use a pizza roller to cut the crescent rolls
- Next time, I will probably make fewer and make them larger (it made a lot)
- After making the squares initially, I would flatten each square a little bit more individually
Flavorful Beef Stir-Fry
This is a recipe my mom has been making for years.
With the fresh vegetables and the sauce that the meat released, this was amazing! We will definitely be making this again.

- 1/4 c. Water
- 1 lb steak, cut in strips
- 3 c. Broccoli
- 2 med carrots; thinly sliced
- 2 T Chopped Onion
- 2 T Vegetable oil, divided
Make:
- In a bowl, combine cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, and water until smooth.
- Add beef and toss to coat; set aside.
- In a large skillet, stir fry vegetables in 1 T oil. Cover and simmer for 4 min; remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, stir fry beef in remaining oil until meat reaches desired doneness.
- Return vegetables to pan; toss. Serve over rice.
