Chicken Stir Fry

hello wonderful world of internet people whomever you are, wherever you are. I made a chicken stir fry tonight, my first to be honest with you but definatley not my last!!

What you will need:

6 Chicken tenders

Fresh Green beans cut medium sized (you could do canned but then the beans will be soggy)

about 1/2 a regular bag of baby carrot sticks sliced 

1 onion diced (by now you guys know I love my onions I am sure)

1 garlic shallot diced

1/2 box of angel hair (lo mein would have been better or rice but my husband wanted noodles and its all I had in my cupboard)

3 to 4 Tablespoons of soy sauce

1 Tablespoon of brown sugar

1/4 cup of olive oil

What to do:

1. take a large skillet out and pour olive oil in it, let it get to a good simmer
2. Put Chicken tenders in and cook till they are mostly fully cooked
3. Bring water in a pan to a boil and cook angel hair or whatever pasta your using
4. Pour soy sauce in, with onions, carrots, green beans, and garlic
5. allow to simmer on a medium low heat till all veggies look cooked but not soggy
6. add scoop of brown sugar and stir, at this point you should be able to pull the chicken tenders apart to smaller pieces and get it mixed in very well
7. strain your pasta if you haven't already
8. cook for another 3 minutes 
9. put pasta on a plate, serve stir fry over the pasta

*If you feel the soy sauce isn't strong enough let it be, and serve your meal with soy sauce on the table, some people love a strong soy sauce flavor while others only want a hint, its better to have less than more of soy sauce in this recipe 

This meal was so husband approved that there were no leftovers left, and he ate quite a bit of veggies!!!

Supper Tonight: Beanless chili

So for supper tonight I wanted something, fast, easy, and tasty but at the same time I wanted to offer up a supper that looked like I made a HUGE attempt. So what could I make that not only would fill all those descriptions but at the same time satisfy my husband's appetite after a long day of work? Chili. One of man's greatest appreciated foods.



What you'll need:
- 3 LBS of ground beef
- 1 large jar of tomato sauce (about 30 ozs)
- 1 large packet of McCormick Chili seasoning
- 1 large green mango or pepper
- 1 1/2 onions diced
- 3 garlic cloves diced
- 1/4 cup of Brown Sugar

Steps

1. Brown your ground beef so as to ensure that all the beef is cooked
2. drain beef and dump beef into a deeper pot for cooking and simmering
3. Pour all the remaining ingrediants and stir frequently
4. Let simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring about every 5 to 10 minutes to allow flavor to cook into the meat and to get a soup consistency

thats all there is to it!!! Enjoy!!! (I served mine with homemade corn bread muffins and shredded cheddar cheese on top, its up to you really how you want to serve it!) This recipe made enough for about 4 people to have at least 2 servings, but since it's just my husband and I we invited my sister in law to partake in supper!!! I would highly recommend this for a quick meal, or for something on a cold winter day!!!
