Orange Chicken & Rice

Food Category: Easy, PG, High-5
Difficulty: Easy

Stir-Fry Fresh Veggies

Sautee sliced onion, snow peas & Napa cabbage (that's what I had in the fridge from the night we had Asian Salads) in evoo & remove from pan.

Orange Chicken

Cook according to package directions. I also added a few small pieces of the Tyson chicken strips the girls had for dinner.

Add back the stir-fried veggies & a package of microwave steamed veggies.

Serve with:

Rice made in the rice cooker.

All said and done the "quick" meal from the freezer ended up being almost as much work as cooking from scratch. The portions were very skimpy, the taste "just okay" & not really worth the expense ($4.29).

Next time, I'll make something more along the lines of this Tyson's Sweet & Sour recipe. I may even use cut up breaded chicken strips (or nuggets!) so that it's more like real take-out. It really depends on how much we need to watch calories that particular night.

Ok, so dinner wasn't anything to brag about, but breakfast was! Check out the pancakes MiniMe & I made this morning. We used a medicine syringe to make the faces & had a Spook-tacular time.

The pancakes are too cute. What did you put in the syringe?

We used pancake mix with black food coloring - watered down just enough to use the syringe. Have fun!
