SIX ingredient Orange Chicken

This is one of the foods Eb actually asks for - so here's a quick version for him to make while in the dorms. This recipe is not trying to be authentic in any way, just quick and easy.

In a skillet over medium heat,
1-2 Tb of sesame oil (coconut or vegetable oil works too, it will just alter the taste slightly)
brown on all sides by stirring and turning every couple of minutes:
2 chicken breasts, cubed and dusted with flour
(an easy way to do this is to put the chicken cubes & a couple tablespoons of flour in a ziploc bag, close it and shake until each piece of chicken is coated, then add the cubes to the pan)

Meanwhile, combine for the sauce:
1/4 c Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce
1/8-1/4 c orange juice concentrate
2 T soy sauce

When the chicken is cooked through, (browned on all sides - you can check its all cooked by cutting open the largest piece to check) add the sauce to the pan & combine well and let the sauce thicken and warm for a few minutes before turning the heat off and serving.

Serve as usual with cooked rice and a side salad. Or on top of baby greens with sliced almonds, carrots and balsamic vinaigrette or a sesame dressing. I even like a bit of cheese, too.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
