A Recipe Redo for the 5th Day of Christmas

My brother Dick was in Nashville during our Santa Party this year.  He lost his wife, my dear sister-in-love, Jackie, this past August, and I think it was too painful to attend our family gathering without her.  We all understand.  This was a huge loss for our family.

Before he left, we had him over for dinner.  Just the three of us, seeking to comfort each other, sharing memories of dinners and Christmases past.

I made a simple meal of  Baked Honey Sesame Chicken served with Steamed Rice and Stir-fry vegetables.  This is a delicious dish and one that I make a few times each year.  I first shared this recipe with you in 2014, when I made it for a Try It Tuesday.

The recipe format I used back in 2014 is no longer printable, so I am resharing many of my recipes in a new, printable format.  I hope you enjoy it.  Happy Christmas!!
