The Best Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe

Sweet And Sour Chicken

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:
Chicken:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil

1 can of drained pineapple tidbits ( optional if you like, but it is really good with!)

1 green bell pepper seeded and chopped (optional if you like...but it is really good with!)

Sauce:
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

DIRECTIONS:
For the chicken, cut boneless chicken breasts into chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in cornstarch and then in egg. Fry in a little oil until brown but not cooked through. Place in a single layer in a baking dish. Mix sauce ingredients together and pour over chicken.

Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. Turn chicken every 15 minutes so it is evenly coated with the sauce. Serve over rice.


My sissy is coming to visit me today.  I am sooo excited!  I believe this will be on the menu.  Actually, it is so good, maybe we will have it twice.  Hee hee.
Have a lovely weekend....where ever you are.

A Fine Day

 The snow was falling down so beautifully on Friday.  I awoke to the announcement of no school due to "inclement weather."  Oh dear!  The radio was also advising people to not get out on the roads unless they absolutely had to.  I had plans to go to Hobby Lobby for some shopping to make some pretty things.  So, what is a girl to do?  Put on her boots and gloves and head out!  I joked with someone that nothing stops a woman and her 40% off Hobby Lobby coupon.  Came home and turned on my little machine and began to stitch.

 The iPod was tuned to one of my most favorite Pandora stations.....

 I love Valentines Day.  It is fun to make things for people I care about.  This little tea towel is going to a dear friend back home who's favorite color is purple.  I miss her so much.  So, I decided that since she was on my heart, I would send some lovin to her mailbox from me.

 Outside my back door...the snow was still falling.....

 Fluffy kitty was taking a cat nap.......

 Our grand total as of this morning.  My very scientific way of measuring snow.  A quilting ruler.

My finished little project.

Oh My

 Oh my goodness do I love this couch.  I can just see myself sitting on this beauty sipping a hot steamy creamy cup of coffee with my fluffy kitty.  I would have you over to sit on it with me.  Yup, I would!  Is it weird to love a couch?  Probably. To get this gorgeous, smoochy, fluffy, comfy couch, I would have to find a BIG bag of $100 bills lying on the street.  The chance of that happening is slim to none.  Oh well.  I can drool admire it from afar.  It is fun to dream though, isn't it.  And in my little couch dream, there would be no cat hair on it.  Now I really am dreaming!

So Many Fishy

 Simon the kitty got some good stuff for Christmas.  My sister gave him these little sparkly catnip goldfish.  Let's just say he REALLY loves them.  He carries them around the house in his mouth.  I have found them all over the house...even on my bed!  He plopped down in the sewing room with all of them the other day.  So of course I had to take his picture to show you.

Ee-I-Ee-I-Oh

There is a darling new baby boy next door.  So I just had to make him a soft quilt.  It is all flannel except for the gingham border.  I think it will be a warm snuggly blanket for sweet baby this winter.

Winter Wreath

 After the Christmas decorations came down, I decided I did not want to hang the same boring decorations on my front door that I have put up for the past...oh.....five years.  I have been looking on Pinterest (a lot) and really love the yarn wreaths.  So, off to my little Hobby Lobby to gather my supplies I went.

This is what I came up with.  I am quite pleased with the results.  It looks so nice next to all the snow that fell on us yesterday.  I think it will do just fine on my door until Valentines Day when it is time to change things around once again.
