March 1 - 7

As promised, a review! The Chinese Orange Chicken with Broccoli was a huge hit! The kids absolutely inhaled it (I'm not sure if it was really that good, the fact that dinner was later than usual or the 2 hours we spent at the park, but I'm still impressed at how much they ate.) Next time I do plan to swap the amounts of lemon juice and orange juice and decrease the sugar. The sauce makes more than enough so I have half in the freezer for another time.

I bought some new cookbooks today (Kids Can Cook and Kids Can Bake - sorry, I can't find links right now) for my sous-chef and me to try out. A couple of recipes will be tested this week.
