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!!!

Top 5 Cliche things I have heard about Beagles

I have a beagle.... let that set in, all the stigma that comes with having beagles, I think I have heard at least 10 times. "Their Hunting Dogs" "They get into the fridge all the time" "When they pick up a scent they go with it" "They tear apart furniture" "They are outside dogs"

Being a beagle mom to a puppy is hard, I am not going to doll it up and make it sound like you should go buy a beagle tomorrow....however you should go buy a beagle tomorrow or adopt one! My Beagle is my first beagle I have ever had, my husband has had a beagle in his childhood. Our Beagle is 5 months old, and she's the biggest love bug you ever did see.

The top 5 major misconceptions to Beagles I've learned:

1. "They can't focus on anything but whatever scent they pick up"


*Unless my dog is cannibal I am pretty sure this staring in the camera is pretty focused*

2. "They aren't "family" Pet material"

*Yes I can see by the way she is cuddling with me that she would be HORRIBLE for children*

3. "They are aggressive when it comes to eating"

*Yes I can see that by the way she is just looking at me she's ready to rip my face off*

4. "Their not the kind of dog you dress up and treat like a Princess"

*Your totally right, she just hates being treated like a pretty princess*

5. "They prefer to live outside on their own"


*Your totally right she loves living on her own....in our home....in the living room.....spoiled.*

as you can see, your beagle is all what you make him or her to be, sure she loves to play outside, and yes she enjoys climbing things (mostly me) and yes I have 1 or 2 small holes in my couch, but what puppy doesn't chew a hole in something?!
