it has been a week of crazy…
I have been doing the hustle and grind
of the NYC commute
I have truly become an Absentee Mom!
But a single moms gotta do what a single moms gotta do.
Thankfully it is not for too much longer.
because Tunie B. & me…
We are feeling the
Stress.
So…
We cook….it’s cheap Therapy!
& because I am bone tired
we cook things
that take 15 minutes or less!
like this Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry Noodle dish…
made up of ingredients that
were in my fridge and pantry…
because who has time to shop also?
On the Bus to NYC this week
I came across these 2 things that I had to SHARE with all of you
they are Brilliant & My Friday Fav!
1. The HALF SPLIT PIE PAN – $17.50 (link to buy here)
I WANT THIS NOW!! – How Brilliant is this – I am a HUGE PIE fan – and here is my chance to make my favorite flavors – two at a shot. AND – it is the perfect size for me & my Tunie B.
2. $5 Dollar Bill Money Saving Plan
I saw this idea: Every time you end up with a $5 bill in your possession, you set it aside in a savings envelope. If you are diligent about it, before you know it you will have accumulated a nice tidy sum. I just started this last week. It has been rough the last year trying to save, and my usual methods were not available any more – so this is an easy way, with out to much sacrifice to my day to day needs.
3. Snickers Dark Chocolate Bar
Only 261 calories and when you have been on the move from morning to night with no chance to grab a decent meal – THIS BAR will save your life.
Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry Noodle
Ingredients:
1 lb Chicken cutlets (I use dark)
1/4 cup Favorite Strawberry Preserve
1/2 cup Honey Mustard
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. ginger powder
salt & pepper to taste
2 tsp. Extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cups Frozen Stir Fry Vegetables
1/2 Cup Favorite Teriyaki Sauce
1 lb of cooked egg noodles
Directions:
(Tip: I used a griddle pan to mark off my chicken – but if you want to save time you can do this in just one frying pan)
Heat up your pan till it is very hot. Spray with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey mustard and the strawberry preserve. Lay out your chicken pieces and rub them with half of the ginger and garlic powder and sprinkle with salt & pepper.
Then using a pastry brush, generously coat both sides of your chicken with the mustard mixture.
Pan grill the chicken till they are fully cooked, make sure to brush them with more of the mustard mixture as you are cooking and flipping them. Cut into strips when finished and set aside.
In a frying pan, heat up the oil and saute the onions till soft (about 8 minutes.) Add the frozen vegetables and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Add the rest of the ginger and garlic powder, and season with salt & pepper. Then add the cooked chicken pieces and mix well together with the veggies. Add the teriyaki sauce and let cook down for another 5-6 minutes.
When finished serve hot over a bowl of cooked egg noodles.
