Recipes!!

I am failing in the domestic way of life.  I lowered myself to serving my husband chicken nuggets and chips for dinner one night last week.  His comment was "don't over do-it" (or something to that effect).  Hubby is an electrician and for the past several weeks he has been working outside underneath a building preparing it to do the electrical work inside.  It has been very cold lately, so he looks forward to coming home to a hot meal.
This is where I come in.... I am getting lazy in the kitchen.

I used to love to bake and cook.  Now it overwhelms me.  Although I did manage to whip up a delicious chicken stir fry with rice the night after the disaster "birthday party type" chicken nuggets and chips, I'm struggling.

I began searching the web last night and lo and behold I stumbled upon a life-saving website: momswhothink.com.

They have great recipes; fast, healthy, and made with ingredients one would normally have in stock.

I found a great Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe which I may try tomorrow night.  It actually uses chicken nuggets, let's see what Hubby has to say about that!!

Ingredients:

1 10-ounce package frozen breaded chicken nuggets
