So this is my attempt to capture what I served for dinner on Wednesday nights. I will try to feature recipes I do not get from a cookbook or online (my favorite thing to do!). These will be meals I make up and hope for the best. Granted, the recipe might bring to mind something you've seen before, but since the attempt will be from the top of my head, I won't follow the typical recipe pattern. More loosey-goosey than the standard format. No measuring here, just like my mom. Although she has like 60+ years of cooking experience on me, I gotta start somewhere, right?
Today's "What's for dinner?" is a play on Chinese takeout, something hubby and I do about once a month. Most of the restaurants in my immediate area aren't always the most authentic but they'll do in a pinch. Maybe, if hubby likes this dish, we can skip the take out and eat this instead. I'll have to figure out how to make egg rolls, too! I call this Orange Chicken but it's not the typical orange chicken dish available at most Chinese restaurants because I think they're way to heavy on the orange. I put a hint of orange in my rice instead. But I'll still call it Orange Chicken because I don't have any other name for it.
