Is what mckay told me I am over lunch today. What did I make him that made me so deserving of this high praise? This simple, easy, kid-friendly lunch:
Tortilla chips
orange slices
chocolate milk
and the 1st place selection??
ham and cheese roll-ups
Here's the recipe:
2 slices of ham
2 slices of cheese
Lay the cheese at the edge of the ham and roll the ham up. Repeat with second piece of ham and cheese. Serves 1.
Seriously. The things impress kids!

Sweet and Sour Chicken
I found this recipe at Dinner's Ready, a handy resource for when I don't know what to cook or am looking for something new. I had everything on hand (and it's all pantry/freezer standard supplies) which is shocking-for me anyway. This chicken was not only easy, but DELICIOUS!! 5 out of 5 taste testers approved and most of us were drooling over it. :) It seriously tastes like we ordered out. Next time I'll be more prepared and have some egg rolls and fortune cookies on hand.
Sweet and Sour Chicken
2-3 chicken breasts
1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. cornstarch
salt and pepper
3/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. chicken broth
1/3 c. ketchup
1 1/4 TBSP soy sauce
Preheat oven to 350. Cut chicken into strips (I like mine cubed). Mix cornstarch, flour, salt, and pepper. Shake chicken and coat evenly. Fry in cooking oil over med-high until just starting to brown (don't overcook). Combine remaining ingredients to make a sauce. Pour over chicken, then cover and cook for 45 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.
I happened to have some frozen red and green peppers and a can of pineapple on hand. I threw those in as well before baking so that I would have a one-dish type meal. Kids didn't eat the vegetables, but Jeff and I thought they were great in there.

Dinner Idea
I love it when I have dinner completely planned out beforehand, so I thought I'd share a favorite meal.
BBQ chicken-your choice of marinade/sauce
Citrus Rice
Steamed veggies (I do broccoli and carrots-for extra flavor I butter them and then squeeze a fresh lemon over the top.)
Citrus Rice
(www.kraftfoods.com)
1 1/2 c. minute rice (white)
1 c. chicken broth
1/2 c. orange juice
2 tsp. soy sauce
1/4 c. sliced green onions
3 T. sliced almonds
Combine rice, broth, orange juice, and soy sauce in microwaveable bowl; cover. Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff rice and sprinkle with onions and almonds. (I do it on the stove and it works just as well.)
