Meal Time Monday

We've got some doozies this week!

Orange Chicken and Brown Rice
Sauce
1 c. water
1/2 c ketchup
1/2 c sugar
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. PLUS 1 tsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 tbsp. grated orange zest
juice of same orange you zested

Brown your chicken (or you can deep fry it) and then pour this sauce, while hot, over the cooked chicken. Serve with brown rice and veggies. Everyone eats this!!

Chicken Satay


Pasta Bar
I make a variety of pasta shapes and sauces and meats so each person can make their own blend and not complain about what's for dinner.

Sloppy Fred's (Or Joe's) and Napoleon Tots

Cordon Blue, Steamed Cheesy Veggies and Mashed Potatoes

Mealtime Question for the week: If you could only eat one thing, and only that thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Or If you could do one thing over in your life, what would it be????
And FYI if you've been following our posts, our homemade movie was an experience. I've never heard my 4 year old practice her "singing voice" in the bathroom because "it has better acoustics."  And my in charge daughter was very in charge and charming at the same time. She actually has some vision and knew what she wanted. She convinced her 4 year old sister to play the part of "Doggy" the dog and she did! I can't get her to eat her veggies, or stop talking in the car, or put her shoes away, but she played a dog for Syd's theatrical debut. Go figure.
