Planning to cook for a 2 families is hard, especially when everyone has tasted your “go to” dishes. So yesterday I was on a mission to find something different to feed my brother in law’s family and my own last night. Without hesitation, I turned to pinterest. Yes, I tend to find tons of new recipes to try on Pinterest. Thanks to The Life & Loves of Grumpy’s Honeybunch, I found a tasty honey sesame chicken recipe. Of course, I’ve made it my own because it wouldn’t be a dinner without stir fry veggies… and I hate having “crunchies” on my food so the actual sesames were out. But here it is, try it out… make it your own!
