Good morning!  Today is our last day of Summer break.  I have to send my ‘baby girl’ off to the 4th grade tomorrow!  She got her first ‘big girl’ hair cut this weekend.  She made a donation to Wigs for Kids.  She loves her sassy shorter hair and I am so […]

Bacon & Egg Fried Rice       Happy Wednesday!  Yesterday was such an incredible day!  First of all it was my moms birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA!!!!  Second of all, my ‘baby brother’ and his gorgeous wife found out they are expecting a girl!!!   It’s a girl!!!!!! Seriously, have you ever seen such a […]

       Good morning!  WOW, has it been an exciting couple of days for us!  Sunday was my second post over at www.RocketCityMom.com for ‘Around The Table With Aunt Bee.‘  I shared a recipe that incorporates Easter leftovers into a fun brunch that can be prepared the night before so you can just pop […]

Skip the take out! This P.F. Chang’s Copycat Mongolian Beef is one of our all time favorite recipes! So easy to make at home and the flavor is UNREAL!          Good morning!  This week I decided that I needed a new picture of our favorite Chinese recipe!  It really is our favorite, […]

                I have had a lot of luck finding and tweaking Chinese recipes of all our favorite restaurant style/take out Chinese meals.  But there was one that has always eluded me.  I have tried a handful of Sesame Chicken recipes and it just never turned out how we […]

 We are definitely on a bit of a Chinese Kick over here!  So far in the past month we have had Mongoleon Beef, Bourbon Chicken, Fried Rice, Fresh Ginger and Garlic Roasted Broccoli and Chinese Honey Garlic Chicken.  Well, you can add this sweet n sour chicken right to the top of this list as one […]

This dish is not for the faint of heart.  A lot of flavor going on here.  Lots of garlic and spice.  It is one of my all time favorite Chinese dishes to make at home!  We serve this over Fried Rice.  I included the recipe at the bottom! Enjoy!   Chinese Honey Garlic Chicken  Ingredients […]

   WARNING: This bourbon chicken was my gateway drug into cooking all of our Chinese food at home and never getting take out again.  It is SO good and so easy and it completely ruined Chinese take out for us, and we like it that way 😉  We serve it with this fried rice and […]

Good evening! The other night when we had Mongolian Beef I put together a yummy, light  and healthy green side that was a perfect accompaniment to such a heavy dish.  It will be my new go to veggie for any Asian inspired main dish!  I hope you try it and let me know what you think! […]
