Eames Meals Jan 26-31

I have to say thanks to Sally, this idea has so helped me both plan dinner for the week and get some great ideas. Thanks for organizing this!

This is dinner for the week.

M-Honey Nut Stir-Fry (my sister sent this recipe and it sounds yummy!)
T-Chili (we were going to have this last week and didn't)
W-Vegetable Soup with Biscuits
Th-Cranberry Chicken in Crockpot --joining the crowd
F- Date Night - Kids get leftovers
S-Pizza

Honey Nut Stir-Fry
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¾ cup orange juice
¼ cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ tsp. garlic powder
2 cups sliced carrots
1- ½ cups sliced celery
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½ -inch strips
¼ cup coarsely chopped peanuts (or almonds or pecans since we are allergic to peanuts)
Hot cooked rice

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients until smooth; set aside. In a nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry celery and carrots in 2 teaspoons oil until crisp-tender. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, stir-fry chicken in remaining oil until no longer pink.

Return vegetables to the pan. Stir orange juice mixture and gradually add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve over rice and sprinkle with nuts.
