Stir-Fried Honey-Ginger Chicken

Short post because this was really easy, really good and I didn't screw it up at all. ha! 
We all loved it! And leftovers were great the next day.



Anything goes. Used Martha Stewart's recipe as a guideline and added whatever was in the frig. Broccoli, snow peas, bell peppers. Threw in some roasted cashews, and called it a great dinner! I cheated and got some frozen egg rolls and some potstickers from Trader Joe's. They are excellent if you have a Trader Joe's in your area!

  14. Aren't stir fries easy and delicious. I really like how there aren't any funny ingredients. We have a Trader Joe's near us and the frozen egg rolls are good.

  17. Yum! This absolutely feeds into my mild Asian food addiction. Thank you for sharing your recipe! I have never shopped at Trader Joe's but I want to soon. There is one just across the border in Mass. I might need to drive down there if it will ever stop snowing here. :)
