The Hundred-Foot Journey Inspired Recipes and Gourmet Getaway Sweepstakes #GourmetGetaway

Two of my loves are food and movies.  Combine the two, sprinkle in my favorite store, World Market, and I am in heaven!

Cost Plus World Market has teamed up with Disney to celebrate their new movie, The Hundred-Foot Journey. The Hundred-Foot Journey is based on the best-selling book by Richard C. Morais. It tells the story of an Indian family who moves to France and opens a restaurant a hundred feet away from a Michelin-starred French restaurant run by Madame Mallory, played by Oscar winner Helen Mirren. The movie hits theaters on Friday, August 8th.

To celebrate the theatrical release of The Hundred-Foot Journey, Cost Plus World Market has partnered with celebrity chefs Ryan Scott (Restaurateur & Host of Food Rush) and Aarti Sequeira (Author & Host of Aarti Party) to create delicious recipes inspired by the film. The chefs have developed exclusive French and Indian recipes featuring some of World Market’s incredible gourmet offerings.

Get your drool bib on! Check out some of the French recipes Ryan is dishing up like:

Grandma's Chop Suey Recipe

A few weeks ago I filled in with a guest post over at my friend Jamie's blog,

Love Bakes Good Cakes 

I mean it when I say, Jamie's blog is my go-to when I need to find something amazing to cook or bake for Mr. B.

Jamie was kind enough to cover for me last Fall while I was away at my oldest son's wedding and I was so pleased that I could return the favor! 

Thank you so much, Jamie!

I shared one of Mr. B's favorite meals. Mr. B craves comfort food. 

Comfort food to him means one of his Grandmother's favorite recipes,

and today I am sharing one of those with you, her Chop Suey.

This is such a quick and easy meal to make. It's so much better than take out, you'll find yourself craving it too!

Grandma's Chop Suey

1 pound ground beef

1/4 onion, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 can bean sprouts, drained and rinsed

Pinch of sugar

4 good dashes low sodium soy sauce, to taste

4 cups cabbage, diced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Brown and drain the ground beef and return to skillet. Stir in the onions, celery and bean sprouts. Add the sugar and soy sauce and mix in thoroughly. Top with the cabbage, cover and heat until the cabbage is wilted, stirring often. Serve with the sweet and sour sauce and chow mein noodles.

Sweet & Sour Sauce

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup vinegar

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup water

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Combine the ketchup, vinegar, sugar and water in a sauce pan and bring to a low boil. in a small bowl, add a little cold water to the cornstarch and mix until you have a smooth slurry. Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and stir until thickened.

And there you have it!  A tasty dinner on the table in no time!

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
