I get out of work. I pick up the essentials, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, green onions, and bc I thought the recipe called for too few veggies- a frozen bag of sugar snap pea stir fry veggies. I also picked up a little over a pound and a half of chicken breasts. I wandered. I shopped. I felt like I was forgetting something. Did I? What did I forget. I wandered around for another 5 minutes- nothing. I check out. I go home. I'm excited to tell the boys that we are having cashew chicken for dinner- and then it hit me. Cashew chicken requires cashews. D'oh!!!
So, I tell them our cashew chicken will be without cashews. Next time. Gadget. Next time. I decide that bc we are missing crunch to add fresh asparagus and zucchini. I follow the recipe- other than the added veggies. And voila- in 45 minutes dinner is ready.
Hers looks like this:

Not plated quite as nicely- but omgosh- delish!!!
My mini me ate his all gone and this is with having a double ear infection, bronchitis, and a temp of 103. He's been picking at food like a bird- but not his non cashew cashew chicken.
I'd like to thank one of my besties, Cheryl, for recommending the book. I see plenty of great meals hitting our table in the near future.
