![]() ![]() Anyway, I don’t know how she knows, but she does!įortunately, now Madeline has this awesome Stir Fry set from Melissa and Doug. The wok that I always whip out to cook up their stir-fry. It’s hilarious because whenever I make stir-fry, this is usually when Madeline, my 2 year old, comes up next to me with her plastic bowl and my wooden spoon. and I made a version with BEEF for my husband. of course not naming the vegetables she doesn’t like. So, here’s their favorite Chicken and Shrimp Stir-Fry. Last night Phoebe requested stir fry and went on to tell me exactly what she wanted in the stir fry. I need to thank her because up until then, Phoebe never ate an apple with the skin on. I think Phoebe got this from her BFF, Alyssa, who asked for an apple “whole, with the skin on” one day while here for a play date. For example, when it comes to apples, she tells me if she wants the skin on or peeled. As long as she eats everything, it doesn’t bother me. sometimes Phoebe is a little too specific. The girls also (well, more just Phoebe, my 5 year old) now request what they want for dinner (i.e., Chicken Stir Fry) and snack time. Of course when I’m handling hot food, am at the stove or oven or even boiling water, I make sure the girls are safe. Note to self: have the Hubs put a child lock on this drawer stat. Madeline, my youngest, will grab her Elmo stool and come up next to me, usually banging wooden spoons and some measuring cups she got out from my baking essentials drawer. They even take turns wearing my apron (when I’m not wearing it)while we prepare the chicken stir fry. Now that I am cooking and baking more frequently, they love to copy me. OR if I’ve turned my back, they are sometimes causing havoc in our study. Sometimes, they are coloring or fighting over crayons and paper. Most of the time, they are playing in the room right next to me – so I can watch them. Sometimes, that’s the only way I can pull it off. My husband usually is not home yet from work so I have to be creative to keep the girls occupied so I can cook. We have a routine in the house whenever I am cooking dinner. ![]() my girls are still really young, ages 2 and 5, but it’s never too early to have your kids see you in the kitchen cooking and helping to develop their taste buds while feeding them good food. I feel like my foodie ways and presence in the kitchen is already starting to pay off. Well, it’s already worth it but I guess I should say, it would be THAT much better and worth it more. ![]() if my daughters learn to appreciate food, the time it takes to cook it and develop a love for cooking (along with eating healthy), all this food blogging and cooking will be worth it. Due to the vibrant flavor of the sauce, I would be hesitant to add much in the way of vegetables right in the glaze, other than perhaps a bit of onion or pepper.I always tell my friends and people who ask me. This easy chicken stir fry is shown served over a vegetable wheat bulgur, but rice and steamed vegetables would work just as well. (keep it simple stup*d) rule more often, I really enjoyed this simple recipe. I've skipped a lot of the typical ingredients I would use in an Asian chicken stir fry, in favor of leaving the tangy citrus flavors unmuddled, to play center stage. While it works fine as an Asian dish, this one is designed for those cooks who do not have a pantry well stocked, for that cuisine. This Citrus Chicken Stir Fry gets a big dose of flavor from the triple punch of orange, lemon and lime in the citrus glaze. ![]()
