No More Chinese Take Out

Last Post

I don't know about you, but we used to LOVE chinese take out.  Until I started cooking some healthier, homemade Asian dishes.  I will never go back.  Nothing is as good as homemade, and its so much better for you!

Southeast Asian Fried Rice (Thai-style)

Since I was such a simple eater in my past my favorite take out meal was Chicken Fried rice.  After finding this recipe, nothing tastes as good.  With brown rice, less fish sauce/soy sauce,  broccoli, and red pepper this version is tasty and healthy. (well atleest healthier than take out ;))

One ingredient that I changed was the chicken.  I just used all boneless chicken breast, no thighs.  So hopefully that cut out a little bit more fat.

here is the link to the full recipe from Cooking light.....

TIP:

Chop and prep all vegatables before attempting to start cooking.  Cut up chicken after the vegetables.  Then prep the two seperate sauces.  I also started cooking the rice about an hour before wanting to start dinner. 

Having everything prepped before starting will give you a more smooth and faster cooking experience.

HAPPY DINNER TIME:)

* due to having to take a long hard look at my priorities and what I need to put first in my life, I have come to the conclusion that I will have to stop the blog.  I know I just started this but I am glad that I came to this realization sooner than later.  Even though cooking/baking is a passion of mine and I absolutely love sharing with you, it takes time.  Time away from some of my first priorities, my children, home, and family.  Maybe once some time opens up I will start one up again.  I thank my 2 followers and the support and the lovely comments that I have recieved.  Muah!
