‘Feeding the people we love“  

This version of Sweet and Sour Chicken has definitely become a family favorite.  I found it over at Stephanie’s Kitchen  and we have made it twice in the last month.  I am not a big fan of the heavily breaded Sweet and Sour you usually get at Chinese places but this version is light and yummy!  The chicken is just dredged in flour and then cooked in olive oil until browned.  It is just the right amount of sweetness too. 

It is great for a weeknight dinner because it is quick and easy to prepare. This time I forgot to add the red pepper (it was sitting, waiting, in the refrigerator) which makes the dish much prettier so just imagine some pretty red pepper slices in amongst the chicken and pineapple.  Serve with rice and a nice green salad and you’ve got a great family night dinner! Enjoy!

Welcome

My number one priority
has been and will always be
my family.
But I also feel strongly
that it is possible
for women to incorporate
all their interests,
goals and ambitions
into a balanced life.
I love working with women and helping to inspire them to achieve their goals and dreams while still maintaining motherhood and family as
their number one priority.
