i can't BELIEVE
i never posted this recipe.
it's one of the first NEW
recipes i've tried this year.
and we LOVE it.

http://whitelotuscooks.com/2010/01/re...y-chicken/

i now make it once a week..

a friend just asked me for it
and it took me 30 minutes to find it
to share with you all!

it's yummy batter dipped.
however i found it totally time consuming.
and messy.
2 things i HATE when cooking.

so instead of dipping the chicken pieces in batter
and frying.
i grill the chicken
and chop it in to bits.

(it's healthier and the grilled flavor is DIVINE)

i love it with green onions chopped up
and sesame seeds sprinkled over top
just like the picture.

we eat it with edemame.
and if i'm not OUT of the stuff.
i love it with whole grain rice.

YUM!

I am having a nice quiet week
and enjoying FINALLY being able
to get things done around the house.
And NOT to mention
LOOOOOTS of designing time in.
I still have lots going on.
but planning and working on things
is so much less stressful.

I took the kids last week
and we did a little
'back to school'
photo shoot.

We got some fun pictures.
I'm going to blow some up
for their bedrooms.

They've all had a great time
going back to school.
New beginnings around here
for lots of kids.
and they've all handled it really well.

I'll post those pictures tomorrow.
Have a great night!
