Fantabulous Food! General Tso's Chicken with Sticky Sweet Rice

Well, I had a sudden hankering for some Chinese food, but my husband and I are trying to spend less so I decided I would make some at my house instead of ordering in :) I have made many of the Wan-Chai Ferry meals in the last year or so and that is what taught me to use corn starch as a breading. The rest is kind of my own innovation and some sauce from Aldi (currently one of the 'while supplies last' special buys for only $1.69 per bottle!)

General Tso's Chicken with Sticky Sweet Rice

• Raw Chicken Breasts, cut into chunks
• Minced Garlic
• Red Peppers, thinly sliced
• Minced Onion
• Five Spice Powder
• Corn Starch
• Oil (olive, sesame, safflower, etc)
• General Tso's Sauce
• Rice
• Honey
• Rice Wine Vinegar

1. First, get your rice cooking according to your package instructions. I prefer jasmine rice, but you could really use any type of rice.
2. Combine about 1/4 cup of corn starch, 1/4 tsp of Five Spice Powder, and some salt in a bowl with a tight sealing lid.

Place your chunks of chicken in the cornstarch, seal the lid, and shake until chicken pieces are all well coated.
2. Next, heat your pan to medium-high and put about 2 tbsp of oil in it. Swirl your pan to coat, then add pepper slices, minced garlic and minced onion (you can use fresh onion slices if you prefer). COok for about 5 minutes until peppers are soft.

3. Now add a little more oil if you need it and put your coated chicken chunks in the pan. Stir occasionally and cook chicken on medium heat until cooked through.

4. While your chicken is cooking, in a small bowl combine 1 tbsp of honey and 1 tbsp of rice wine vinegar for every cup of rice you are making (go by your rice volume after it is cooked not when it's dry). For mine, I did 3 tbsp of each for 3 cups of rice. Stir the mixture until the honey is dissolved in the vinegar.

5. When your chicken is fully cooked, add sauce as per the bottle's instructions. My bottle said to use 1/2 cup of sauce for every pound of chicken. Mix the chicken in the sauce over medium heat until all chicken is evenly coated. Set aside until rice is finished and warm up before serving if need be.

6. Once your rice is fully cooked, pour your honey and vinegar mixture over the top and mix it in evenly. Cover your rice again and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes to soak up the additional juices. Serve warm with chicken over rice.

And that's it! It all took about 25 minutes and that was only because the rice needed 20 minutes to cook. Honestly, I was skeptical of the bottled sauce, but it was really good. My husband kept telling me how much he liked it :) The best thing about this type of recipe is that you can really use any type of sauce: sweet and sour, orange, ginger, sesame, bourbon, etc. They make Asian style sauces in all types of flavors and you can buy them bottled all ready to use! This was a quick and easy meal, it tasted great, it was inexpensive, and it was much healthier than if we had succumbed to Panda Express :)

Family History: Getting Started

This is a subject that has always interested me and it has become very dear to my heart. My family has always talked about how important Family History is, but to be perfectly honest, not much has been written down. She had a kick of genealogy many years ago and found a great deal, but I have never even seen most of it (she doesn't remember where she put it). Anyway, since this is a subject I have some knowledge on, I have decided to make a tutorial to (hopefully) help others who may not know where to start. So, here we go...

How To Begin
The first step with anything having to do with family history is to write down what you know. I find that this step is easiest when you have a good pedigree chart.

Start by writing down your name, birthday, birthplace, etc, then move onto your parents, and their parents. Just write down everything you know for everyone you can think of. If you aren't sure, call your parents. Usually people can remember their parents' birthdays even if they don't know the year or the place.

Write Down Your Stories
This is a step best accomplished over time, but it's never too late to start. In the case of family history, I would say it is easiest to write down the memories and stories of those who went before you. Is there a hobby your grandpa was known for? Was your grandma a member of any clubs? Did she play bridge? Did you grandpa serve in any wars? These are simple things that are passed down little by little to the following generations and it should be simple to write down at least a few things about those on your pedigree chart you just filled out. As I have gotten several years of genealogy under my belt now, I have come to find out that it's the stories that you find to be the best treasures.

Keep Everything Together
Start yourself a folder that is devoted to your family history. To begin with, put your pedigree chart and any stories you wrote in it. With the digital age, most everyone has a scanner - scan everything you have and keep it in a specific folder on your computer. Even better, burn it to a disc so it's backed up even more. The more places you can have the information, the better. That way if something happens to your computer, you still have all the work you've done, and so on. Make scan any important photos you may have and label them with the names of anyone in them and the date they were taken (if you know it). Keep these in many places as well, but no matter if it's the physical copies or the digital copies keep everything in one folder together.

Hopefully this is a simple way for you to get things in motion. The hardest part is getting started - once you have done a few simple things you will be amazed at how far you can go with it. I hope this has inspired you to give it a try. Keep in mind that when you are doing this, you are not the only one who will appreciate it. It will be cherished for generations to come :)

Target Trip

I wanted to use my Target Mobile coupon for the Bayer aspirin deal and I grabbed some other items while I was there :)

• Bayer Advanced Aspirin Extra Strength 20ct, $3.54 - Used $2 manufacturer coupon and $2 off Target Mobile Coupon = Free + 46¢ overage

You will receive text messages with a link to your coupons each week and they just scan your phone at the store to use them. You will need to have a phone with internet access :)
