Sesame Chicken less the sesame seeds…

1 Comment

Cause I forgot to add them. I have been craving Chinese food for like the last couple weeks. Hubbs is scared of all the carry-out Chinese food places around, mostly because when he’s had food from them, he’s gotten sick.

This morning he was at work and the kids all crawled in bed with me. The boys are on TV restriction for their ridiculous bickering. I thought they’d be bored with foodtv so we started watching. Well they weren’t. Tyler Florence was making Chinese food. It didn’t look too hard and I almost started to drool just watching the show. We decided we would make the whole meal for dinner.

It was a bit time consuming but worth it.

I could have eaten the whole pan of coconut jelly less the cherries… I really don’t like maraschino cherries. Did you know they are really white and died red? Yuck. Anyhow. My kids hated the coconut jelly. I couldn’t believe it! They love sugary stuff. So the coconut jelly may not be for everyone.

All the other recipes from this meal were excellent and got rave reviews all around. Well except for Cakes who wanted eggs? She 2, what can I say 🙂
