Stir-Fried Walnut Chicken

Stir-Fried Walnut Chicken

In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of corn starch, and 2 teaspoons of soy sauce until smooth.  Place 1 pound of skinless chicken breasts (cut into strips) in a large resealable plastic bag; add soy sauce mixture.  Seal bag and turn to coat, refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In another bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of corn starch and 3 tablespoons of soy sauce until smooth.  Stir in 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and 1 1/2 teaspoons of ginger. Set this aside.

In a large skillet, stir fry the chicken in 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil until it is no longer pink.  Remove from pan and keep warm.  In the same pan, stir fry 1 medium onion (quartered) and 1 minced garlic clove until tender.  Add 1 medium red pepper (thinly sliced), 1/2 cup of fresh broccoli, 1/2 cup of chopped carrot, and 1 8oz can of water chestnuts (drained); cook and stir until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Stir the broth mixture you set aside (it will separate) and pour it over the vegetable.  Bring it to a boil for 1-2 minutes. STIR CONSTANTLY until it thickens.  Return chicken to the pan- heat through.  Serve over rice and top with chopped walnuts!

Bead and Button- Cover Necklace

At my latest jewelry party I had an interest in the necklace featured on the cover of one of my Bead and Button magazines.  This client ordered it to wear on her next cruise.  It's a stunner!

Surfer Girl Bathroom- NEW PAINTING!

 My little Allyson will for sure follow in her father's footsteps when it comes to loving the ocean and everything surfing.  Her bathroom has been dedicated to everything Roxy!  There is a large wall that needed a painting so I bought the canvas and painted it myself!  Check it out below!

AFTER

What time zone are you in?

Our living room has vaulted ceilings and we do not have crown moulding.  We recently bought a new television and entertainment center and as a result had a lot of empty space above the television.  So, I've always wanted a large clock in our family room and while watching a movie Friday night ("Arthur") there is an office scene which showed multiple clocks with the city underneath.  A light bulb went off!  Let's do multiple clocks!  We love Maui and Las Vegas so we added those with Palm Beach and our decor project is complete!

Grilled Peaches--YUMMO!

Kraftfoods.com

I just couldn't wait to post this recipe for Grilled Peaches.  Since being on Weight Watchers I have totally changed my way of thinking when it comes to dessert!  I NEVER thought I would like grilled fruit, but it is delicious!  Here's what to do...

Cut a peach in half, pit it and skin it.
Place peach halves on grill- uncut side down for 5 minutes.
Flip over peach- grill for another 5 minutes until you get great grill marks!

Remove peaches-  drizzle with honey, a dash of cinnamon, and sliced almonds!

DELICIOUS!
