Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Lemon Chicken

I served this dish the other evening.  John took one bite and said, "I remember this!"  Sometimes old favorites get forgotten, and that's what had happened to this Lemon Chicken recipe. 



Lemon Chicken

Cube 2 large (boneless, skinless) chicken breast halves and place into a marinade of: 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 egg white, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.  Marinade for 20-30 minutes.  Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in pan until hot.  Stir fry chicken pieces until done.  Combine: 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon water, and 1-1/2 tablespoons sugar.  Pour over chicken and cook until bubbly.  

Do you have any forgotten favorites?

Thanks for recipes that still work.

    Nearly all of my recipes are forgotten because I rarely cook for myself anymore.

    That does sound yummy and I will have to give it a try. I haven't made Italian chicken in a long time. Very easy -- 4 or 5 chicken boneless/skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker with a bottle of Italian dressing -- very yummy stuffed into a pita pocket!

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
