Hello Loaves and Dishes crowd! It’s me – Sarah Uselton – you might have heard my mom announcing LOUD AND CLEAR that I am going to be doing some guest contributing here at Loaves and Dishes. I am really super excited about this – my mom has told me a lot of nice things about you all and I can’t wait to cook for you! Lol.

Anyway, my focus here will be on budget meals for the young adult – because that is who I am and what I need myself these days. As I said in my bio, I have had the opportunity to work in some of the finest kitchens in Western North Carolina during the past 4 years. I have experience working in one of the most awesome farm to table fine dining establishments found anywhere as well as in the kitchen of an exclusive dining room at a large casino. I am ALL ABOUT farm fresh, organic and natural foods but in my world – budget has to come first.
The foods you find on my pages will be delicious – I promise you that. I also promise, they will be friendly to your wallet.
Just so you know – I am taking photos of my food with an iphone5c.
Now lets get busy cooking and creating in the kitchen! My first Loaves and Dishes recipe is for Easy Teriyaki Chicken. A lot of people my age love Japanese food and it is SO easy to fix at home. There really is no need to go out and spend $10 on teriyaki chicken at your local Japanese place. For less than $10 you can fix this same dish at home and feed several people!
Stun your friends and try my recipe!
Serving suggestions: Serve with rice and a green salad or perhaps steamed broccoli!
You MUST make some of my mom’s Shrimp Sauce Yum Yum Sauce to go with this recipe! You simply MUST! Its delicious and will give you the “real Japanese food” experience! Get the recipe HERE.
