Mongolian Beef

Once in a while, we get a craving for Chinese food.  We hardly ever go because it’s so unhealthy.  Plus, it’s always hit or miss in this town.  My absolute favorite dish is sweet & sour chicken *drool*, while Gavin’s is Mongolian Beef.  I generally will pick at his dish, wishing I got something *slightly* healthier.  So when I first saw this recipe, I was immediately intrigued.  I knew it would be a hit with Gavin.  While the original recipe was good, I decided to add vegetables that we would normally find at our regular restaurant.  I love the sliced ginger-a nice addition to the dish and a little heat from the Serrano pepper. We used half and found it was very mild, so I think if you want the spicier Mongolian Beef, add in the full Serrano.  I know I will next time I make it!  Which will be soon, considering it went pretty quickly around here.

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Chicken

I have yet another confession to make. I'm completely terrified of my crock pot. I know my feelings are unfounded and slightly crazy, but it's true. It's fairly new (I bought it last year), and I haven't been able to leave it alone for hours on end yet. I'm afraid it might burn down my house! My mom uses hers all the time without worrying, but I'm not used to that at all. So I'm slowly forcing myself to leave the house for short periods of times and gradually lengthen my time away, working myself up to 12 hours for when I have to work.
