Cook This!!

A friend shared this recipe with me and we tried it tonight - it was delicious!! I highly recommend it!! The only difference I did (which she did recommend!) was add a dash of soya sauce to the orange sauce at the end.

You won't be dissappointed!

Too Busy To Cook?
Jeanne Silvestri, Coral Springs FL

4 boneless chicken breast halves with skin
All purpose flour 2 tablespoons
(1/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 cups orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
3/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; dust with flour. Melt butter with oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate. Add ginger to skillet; stir 1 minute. Add brown sugar and mustard and stir to blend into drippings. Add orange juice and orange peel. Simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer 3 minutes. Turn chicken over and add green onions. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce is thick enough to coat spoon, about 3 minutes longer. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Transfer chicken and sauce to platter.

Happy Turkey Day

I'm a bit early - but we'll be going to Regina for Thanksgiving so I'll post now!!

We are looking forward to going home! Thursday we'll drive to Regina and go straight to Jenn & Matt's to meet Alyssa.

Friday early morning we're driving to Saskatoon - Allan will go to a meeting (that as you probably know we're very excited about!) and the girls and I will go straight to my Mom & Frank's acreage. Since last time we've visited they've aquired 2 horses and a handful of kittens. Should be a fun visit :D

Late Friday night we'll drive back to Regina where we'll stay at Allan's parents until Monday.

Saturday I'm doing lunch with the girls at The Last Straw and then we're going shopping. American Eagle here I come!! Amber and I are also going to a Travel Agent to inquire about the Vegas trip we're planning for this spring.

Saturday night I am going to a Pub Crawl with Amber, Julie, Michelle and some others. Should be a blast!!

Sunday Laura and I are going to go for a Sushi lunch (Sushi in Regina - might be interesting ;)) and then do some shopping. Sunday night is Thankgiving dinner. I am hoping my Epicure will be in so I can make stuffing with my new Sage & Cranberry stuffing mix I bought!!

Monday we come home and it will be sad as we won't be back until Christmas. :(

On a side note - I think I am going to take some University courses. I don't know exactly what to take. Some sort of business management, maybe Human Resource Management - I'm still in the early stages of planning. Just when we thought we were finished with University in our family ....

Excuse me, Teacher?

Allan has another new job! He was asked to teach a drafting & 3D course at the University.

Mom's New House

My Mom and Frank moved in August. They bought an acreage 20 minutes south of Saskatoon.

They currently have 4 dogs, 2 cats and plan to have a few horses by the end of the fall.
