Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken recipe

I have a few great recipes for you guys coming up and I'm so excited to share them. These past two weeks Kevin and I did a competition of who can lose the most weight. I think he has lost four pounds and I've gained one. I was at my lowest weight in awhile a few days ago but tomorrow is the day when it counts. Also, since work has been super busy this week, we had a cheat day today of pizza so I'm sure that won't help. Earlier this week though we had a few really good meals including this Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken recipe. 

This recipe for chicken reminded me a lot of the Korean Fried Chicken that I made the other night. Both are fried and have some of the same ingredients. The Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken recipe was taken from HERE and our version is below.

Ingredients for the Chicken:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
10oz canola oil for frying

Ingredients for the Sauce:
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp wine smoked garlic by Salt Smith
sesame seeds for garnish

Directions:
Place eggs in a bowl and stir with a fork until blended. Combine flour and cornstarch in a plate and stir together. Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture and then in the flour mixture. Add chicken to hot oil and cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown. PS While you are placing the chicken in the oil, do so softly, otherwise, if you have another pot on the stove behind this one and oil spills out, it will start a fire. A legit fire that I had to call my fiance in to help me put out. 

Move chicken over to paper towels. 

Prepare the sauce. Set the pan over medium heat and add honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar and wine smoked garlic. Whisk to combine. 

Bring sauce to a boil and reduce to simmer and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes or until thick. Add chicken back in and cook for 1-2 minutes longer, pouring sauce over chicken. 

Garnish with sesame seeds. Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, garlic bread, and other sides.

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
