Asian Honey Chicken
Nearly every meal I prepare consists of foods I have cooked or baked in bulk and frozen. I thaw items in a plastic shoe box to prevent condensation dripping onto my shelves (I’ve learned from experience). Then I shop my freezer from my freezer inventory, to see what goodies I can thaw and serve to my family and others. I write these items down on a seven-day menu plan and post it on my refrigerator as a reminder to thaw my food 24 hours ahead of time. Typically right after the dishes are done, I check my menu plan and put new items into my thawing box and slash them off my freezer inventory.
We rotate the same breakfast items each week:
- Freezer waffles with fresh/frozen seasonal fruit or homemade syrup
- Homemade Crock pot yogurt with homemade granola
- Oatmeal with cranberries, walnuts and raw sugar
- Cheerios with bananas and milk
- Scrambled eggs and quick bread like banana or zucchini
We rotate leftovers, sandwiches, salads and wraps for lunch.
Dinner this week:
- Black Bean and corn quesadillas, carrot sticks, pico de gallo, tortilla chips
- Breakfast for dinner: Cinnamon Rolls from Artisan dough, fresh fruit, fried eggs, turkey bacon
- Crock Pot Potato Soup on the stove because I haven’t found a liner yet
, Southern Cornbread - Crock Pot Orange Chicken {new recipe I’m sharing} on the stove, brown rice (doubling, freezing extra)
- Asian Honey Chicken, Brown rice, edamame, make ahead butterhorns (freezing extra)
- Three Pizza Pie Kit; salad
- Frozen beef tips with mushroom gravy, freezer mashed potatoes, make ahead buttterhorns
It’s been a trying week with many lost items in our home. We’ve lost our camera. We think it might have been stolen. My daughter broke my favorite Southern Living platters and of course, my beloved crock pot. It ranks right up there with my camera, used daily. I’m determined not to let it get me down because life goes on and God is faithful. All things are replaceable. We were almost in a head on collision Wednesday night, witnessing a flipped car with a driver who was bleeding. I know my life and my children’s are not replaceable and I have much to be thankful for. God is Good all the time.
I’m on the fence between the Crock pot Brand and the Hamilton Beach brand. I’ve read the reviews about the HB cutting off by itself after two hours. Anyone having that problem? Should I avoid this brand and go for the crock pot brand? I’d love to hear your suggestions on a new crock pot/slow cooker.
I hope you have a blessed week.
