Sweet & Sour Chicken/Rice & Wed. Blog Hop

2011 is going to be a great year!!

In our family we are really concentrating
on what's most important..family time,
organization (down-sizing & getting rid
of excess) a decluttered life to enjoy the
people/things you love & not just keeping
"STUFF."

I'll keep you updated on how things are going
in the coming months (it's going to be a year
long project)

Friday I am going to put my "Top 10"
Recipes for you up on the blog....

Below is my "Sweet & Sour Chicken"...
Chicken is such a great source of protein
& trying to make it delicious & different
each time takes planning....

Find a proven & great recipe is key in
having a successful outcome your family
will love. Here is the link to try this...
