A Girl Guide is ALWAYS prepared!

It was a gorgeous Sunday today and I was quiet industrious. As I was feeling good, I decided to be proactive and get a start on dinners for next week or the following, whichever. Just handy to have items ready in the freezer for those days you just can't be bothered.

I got some Ground Beef and Chicken and was all gun ho! I prepared the Ground Beef dinners and our dinner for tonight, then decided to leave the Chicken till tomorrow, whew! Good intentions and all that!

For the Ground Beef dinners, I cooked up some Burgers stuffed with cheese, some Meatball sliders and also some Tostado meat. My "in-house taster" loves Tostados and we have to keep'em happy don't you know! Once cooked and cooled down, I used my handy FoodSaver handheld and vacuum sealed the lot and popped them in to the freezer. Bingo Bango, done and dusted.

As for tonight’s dinner, I couldn't be ~~as..,~~ sorry, couldn't be bothered doing the whole "Sunday Roast" production, too nice/hot of a day. So decided to do Hot Dogs and Red Beans and Rice. Now the Hot dogs are easy enough but I thought I would make the Red Beans and Rice from scratch, although technically I bought canned Red Beans but you get the gist.

So follow my link to a most awesome Red Beans and Rice recipe, in my humble opinion!

Sweet And Sour Chicken!

Well I have to say I hope you guys try this as I was so surprised at how relatively easy this dish was to make and honestly you will never want to bother with Panda Express again lol...well maybe if your in a hurry! This really was a fun dish to make and I look forward to making this many, many times. You will need the following: 1 lb of skinless Chicken Breasts 1 Green Peeper 4 Slices of Pineapple 1 small to medium Onion 1/4 cup of Corn Starch 3 Tbsp of Vinegar 4 Tbsp of Sugar 4 Tbsp of Ketchup 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil I know...looking at those ingredients who knew right! I will admit though that I did not have any sesame oil and it was just fine. Of course I will keep an eye out when shopping for future reference. Now cut your chicken up into 1 inch cubes approx, then put into a bowl and mix in 1/2 cup of Corn Starch. Now there is a two step process here for the chicken but not difficult at all. The Cornstarch seals in the moisture for more tender chicken. Once your chic...
