Chinese Take-Out Night!

Quicker-Than-Take-Out Orange Chicken


Tonight we made a plethora of healthy chinese food that served as a delicious substitute for the less healthy take-out alternative. The Quicker-Than-Take-Out Orange Chicken recipe was mouth-wateringly tasty, however we found the title to be a bit misleading. Although the recipe took much longer than we expected (perhaps because we doubled it), it was definitely worth making because the meal fed eight very satisfied people.

Stephen's Stir-Fried Rice


Along with our orange chicken, we made some Stephen's Stir-Fried Rice. We don't know who Stephen is, but his stir-fried rice sure is delectable ;). Because of all of the vegetables included in the recipe, we did not need to include a salad with our meal. It was really easy to make and left all of our guests feeling content.

  1. I agree with their report on the meal. It was delicious and very satisfying! I especially liked the orange chicken, and the water chestnuts in the fried rice gave it a little crunch, which I liked! Great job girls!
