Where is everyone??

[Guest guest]

It's so quiet today!!

I'm going nuts with this hot weather. I expect it in August - not

July. Of course not many people have AC up here so I have fans in

every room. Last night I kept windows open and fans going to cool the

house down but it was still hot this morning. Oh well!! I have the

freezer stocked with Otter Pops (1pt a piece) so we are ready :-)

I made Crockpot Cantonese Chicken for dinner last night. I liked the

taste but didn't care for the color. It's basically a sweet-n-sour

chicken and I like my sauce red for that. Here's the recipe...

Crockpot Cantonese Sweet-n-Sour Chicken

6 servings

5 points per serving

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips

1 each green bell pepper, cut into strips

1 each red bell pepper, cut into strips

1/2 each medium onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 cups pineapple chunks in juice, reserve juice

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Place chicken, pepper strips and onion in the crockpot.

2. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and cornstarch. Add 1 cup of the

reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, water, soy sauce, and salt; blend

until smooth. Pour over chicken and veggies.

3. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours.

4. One hour before serving, add the pineapple chunks. Mix well.

5. Serve over Chow Mein Noodles or Rice.

I served it over rice for an extra 3 points.

Hope everyone is doing well!!
