This is one of my families favorites! I got this from my friend Bethany who was my neighbor while living at Wiesbaden, Germany. Two of my neighbors Bethany and Kelly both had husbands who were serving in Iraq for a year. Through it all they were so positive and stayed happy and really relied on each other too. They came up with this dinner plan of alternating which one would cook dinner for both families...Bethany had 2 kids and Kelly had 3 but it's hard to stay motivated and cook full dinners when your hubby is gone so this plan was perfect.
I am so lucky my husband is in the Air Force...when he has gone to Iraq or Afghanistan it's only for a few months not 12-15-18 like these Army families do like Kelly and Bethany had to do. Once when Steve had to go TDY for a week or two I could not believe Kelly and Bethany would have been thinking of me....they invited me for dinner so I would not be alone and could join in on their fun. Thank you guys!!!
Kelly is husbandless AGAIN right now. I think of her all the time with her three small girls. Well here is the yummy recipe Bethany shared with me...
Sweet and Sour Chicken
2 cups sugar
1 TBSP chicken bullion or 2 cubes
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 cup water
3/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup

Take 3 cut up chicken breasts and dip them into egg yolks
Dip in cornstarch (put in a large Ziploc and shake)
Brown on both sides in olive oil until crispy
Place in a 9x13 pan and cover with sauce.
Bake for 1 hour
Serve over rice

This sounds delicious...what great friends. A neighbor and I did a similar dinner sharing many years ago. We were both southerners in a new norhtern town, had small children the same ages and our husbands travelled frequently for work. It was the start of a lifelong friendship and whenever we vacation together we are the ones always planning the next meal!
Sounds so good. I am always looking for new chicken recipes. My daughter doesn't eat red meat.
that is one of our favorites - served on rice. yummy :)

Hi,
Even though I have never left a comment before, I have really enjoyed getting to know you through your blog. I recently moved to Georgia and am a new blogger. I received a blog award from a gal who has set up a special award for blogger gals who reside in Georgia. I made mention of you - if you would like to accept this blog award, please stop by to collect it. Also check out Susan's blog that I have linked on my post to see her original idea for this award.
Blessings to you,
Kymber
Perfect for my busy week ahead. I have all the ingredients so I'm all set.
I want to thank you for always putting a positive spin on the military. We knew what we were signing up for when we married our husbands and yet I find so many that are always in the state of "oh poor me." I love that your friends cook for each other. This is a wonderful help to each other in so many ways.
Thanks for sharing!
