Love These!
These knives are GREAT!!! We haven't bought new knives since we've been married, and we couldn't cut a thing. But we broke down and bought these. I don't know if it's because they're new, or just awesome, but I actually look forward to cutting raw chicken with these knives.

stir fry sauce
Tonight we are feeding the Missionaries. Since I haven't posted anything to this blog yet I thought that I just would. We are serving stir fry. I love stir fry, but not all the store bought sauces. I got this stir fry sauce recipe from my mom. I don't know where she got it, but my family really likes it...Here you go.
First...mix 1 tsp. corn starch and 1/2 C. water
next...mix in 1/4 C. oil
then...mix in 1/4 C. soy sauce (I use reduced sodium but you don't have to) and 1TB. sugar.
That is it..so easy.
I pour the sauce in the skillet and then add my cut carrots and cut cooked chicken. After the carrots are semi soft, I usually add peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, or whatever we like that day putting the vegetables that need to cook longer first. After I turn off the heat I add cashews so they will not be soggy when we eat them. We then eat it over rice, of course. Stir fry is so easy, but I thought I would post the sauce recipe...so good! I hope the missionaries like vegetables. Well I guess if not, it is a good time to start. :) Happy eating.

Menus Are Underrated
Because I am the smartest person you have ever known, I will grace you with a token of my knowledge and tell you:
USE A MENU!!!
Mike and I were (are) poor way back when we were still both going to school and had (have) crappy jobs. We were going out to eat at least twice a week and decided we couldn't afford that lavish lifestyle anymore. So we started making menus. GREAT idea for a couple reasons:
1. We hardly ever throw out food. We only buy what we planned on eating/making.
2. We save money. Even if we don't feel like making food, knowing that there is something at home to make is pyshological guilt enough to not go out to eat.
3. We get to eat what we WANT to eat.
Here's an example of our menu:
Sat - Hot dogs (grilled--which means they are elegant)
Sun - Enchiladas
Mon - Tortelini
Tues - Hot deli sandwiches
Weds - Leftovers/Whatever
Thurs - Cream of Chicken (I'll post this later)
Fri - Go out
It only takes a couple minutes. The meals don't have to be extravagant. And we always mix around the days. If we don't feel like having sandwiches, we have something else. And we always leave a day open to go out, so if anything comes up during the week we aren't strapped to a plan. Also, I've heard parents mention that kids complain about what's for dinner, so I was thinking kids should participate in making the menu. Have them choose a meal--and then they CAN'T complain!
Give it a try and tell us what you think!
