There is no better way to bring in the New Year than with another Chinese recipe, Beef Lo Mein. You can find lo mein at many Chinese restaurants and buffets. Lo mein is a Chinese noodle dish that contains vegetables, meat and is tossed with a delicious sauce. This particular version of lo mein is really a combination of lo mein and broccoli and beef. If you don’t like beef, it can easily be replaced with chicken. The amount of heat can be adjusted by the amount of chile paste you put into the recipe.

Here is the perfect recipe for mint lovers, mint brownies. These brownies are a fantastic combination and mint and chocolate. The brownies get most of their flavor from baking chocolate and the frosting gets a lot of flavor from the mint extract.

This is apparently how they do hot dogs in Venezuela. As this was new to me, many of you are probably unfamiliar with Venezuelan style hot dogs so let me introduce them to you. These hot dogs include condiments such as mustard, ketchup and maybe. As well as cabbage, onion and crushed potato chips. I found that the potato chips give the hot dog a nice crunch. The recipe calls for the hot dog buns to be steamed but I did not do that personally, I will leave it up to you.This is a very quick and easy recipe that just also happens to be perfect for game day.
