Each month we are given ingredients chosen by Nichole of Cookaholic Wife and sent on our way to create the best recipe we can.  This month's ingredients are Honey and Ginger.  Let's see what everyone cooked up.......



Honey Ginger Chicken Stir Fry

I must confess that I did not make this stir fry.  When I first came home from the hospital, after being run down by a truck, I was unable to do too much of anything.  Luckily my husband is very capable and the best care giver in the world.  He took over all the housework, all the cooking, and all the personal needs that I couldn't attend to myself.

Honey Ginger Sauce

The recipe for the sauce came from Inquiring Chef but Frank was only cooking for the 2 of us so he halved the amounts in the original recipe and decided to add some vegetables because he knew that would make me very happy.

Stir Fry Vegetables

He used bits and pieces of vegetables he found in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.  You can, of course, use any vegetables you have on hand.  You will need about 1/2-1 cup per person being served.

You can make this meal for 2 following the recipe provided or for as many as you want by increasing the amount of ingredients accordingly.  It is a quick easy meal for a family during the week or for a larger gathering during the weekend.  Enjoy......
