Healthy Sesame Chicken Stir Fry
For Valentines day, instead of going out I made a healthier Chinese dinner. I took all of Jeremy and I’s favorites and lightened them up! I am sorry this post is late, but my cell phone had a hard time uploading these pictures. (my camera was dead)
The only downside of making Chinese food is the preparation time. It takes FOREVER. I should have started earlier, having everything ready to just throw in the oven. I learned my lesson for next time.
Moving on to Jeremy’s choice, sesame seed chicken stir fry!
