Honey Sesame Chicken


Asian food is a weakness of mine. Unfortunately, most available Asian food readily available in America is chock-full of food sources that are, we might say, not beneficial to health. Finding healthy Asian recipes I love and that aren't overly complicated is so satisfying!



This is a slow cooker recipe, but because it was already afternoon when I began preparing dinner, I adapted it for the stove top. And it turned out excellently!

The original recipe asks for crushed red pepper. Instead, I substituted a tiny dash of cayenne pepper and added some diced green bell pepper.

Another substitution I made was arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch. The result was a bit stickier and thicker than I prefer, though some might enjoy the texture. In the recipe below, I've quartered the amount, though if your sauce seems thick enough already, you might be able to safely leave it out.



Restful Kitchen Review: Excellent and delicious - I’ll be making this again!

How to Organize Your Whole Kitchen in Just Fifty Years

A restful kitchen is an organized kitchen. For me, what could be more relaxing than all the food items beautifully arranged in matching containers that perfectly fit together in the available space, easy to access, easy to use, and easy to maintain?  It seems attainable. After all, the internet is full of organized pantries that spark immediate aspirations to #kitchengoals: Image from How to Create the Perfectly Organized Pantry  I love this pantry from She Gave It a Go. Baskets, clear square containers, uniformity, just the right amount of space between items - both in how it looks and in ease of finding everything, it's a definite success.  Yet if I attempted to model my own pantry after this one, I'd give it a go and give up. For one, I don't have enough paper towels to fill three baskets, and if I did, I'd have to throw out my recycle bin and my oat bucket.  The point is, organization doesn’t have to and shouldn’t involve stress. It’s a...

Pumpkin Surprise Muffins

Easy and delicious, these gluten-free, low carb muffins are a staple in our kitchen. While they're a great choice in the fall with freshly-grown, cooked, and mashed pumpkin, they're also the perfect choice in the winter when I'm staring at my freezer wondering what to cook with all my frozen mashed pumpkin. I especially love this recipe because the surprise filling provides flavor and texture variety more than ordinary muffins, but these are still quick to stir together.
