    Craving Easy Orange Chicken?

    Traditional Chinese food is something I crave often. Yet, Chinese cuisine is the one cuisine that I feel that I have very little grasp on preparing despite all my years of cooking experience. I generally prefer to leave it to the professionals when I have an insatiable hankering. However, there have been times when I’ve been forced to make one of my favorite dishes on my own and this Easy Orange Chicken recipe is truly fail proof! It has become one of my go to recipes when I have a little bit of time to fry the chicken pieces. Whipping up the tangy semi sweet sauce is a breeze. It really does satisfy and it’s so good that we rarely have any leftovers. Please enjoy!

I have seen so many beautifully grown eggplants at the farmers market and pictures from friend’s gardens that makes […]
