Sweet and Saucy Stir -Fry without the drive to pick it up. Change your every day dinner up from plain old burgers and fries to something exotic and sure to please the palete. If you love the sweet and salty, healthy yet full of flavor, you will really appreciate this dish.

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bag frozen mixed stir-fry vegetables (you can also choose your own fresh veggies and cut them into matchstick size pieces)
1 can pineapple tidbits
½ cup Soy sauce
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. honey
2 cloves garlic
2 tsp. ginger fresh grated, or paste
3 Tbsp. Cornstarch

Preparation:

Chop chicken into small bite sized strips.
Drain pineapple, set juice aside.
In a quart freezer bag mix chicken with salt and pepper to season.
In another quart freezer bag combine; pineapple, ½ cup of reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch.
In a third bag placed chicken pieces-salt and pepper to season.

I like to stack my bags, including a bag of microwaveable instant rice to go with it, and wrap with a large rubber band to keep it all together.

Cooking Directions:

Sauté chicken in a large non-stick pan with 1-2 Tbsps. Olive oil (or sesame if you have on hand, but not necessary) over medium high heat until cooked almost through. Add bag of pineapple mixture, allow to simmer for 3 -5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Serve over rice or your favorite noodles.

Love the Love Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Flavor for your Coffee? Then you will love this Cinnamon Dolce Syrup recipe fantastic over pancakes, ice cream, brownies and more. When I discovered I could make this at home, you know in my pajamas, I was ecstatic. Even better? The taste is amazing. The sweet flavor begs to be added to your hot or iced coffee drinks. Most ingredients are probably already in your pantry. Stock up on cinnamon sticks and make a triple batch or even an entire case of jars . It’s a thrifty treat too, large bottles of this syrup sell for around $20, this recipe is about $2.00 to make so that is an INSTANT 90% savings.

Cinnamon Dolce Syrup Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 ½ cups water
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
3 cinnamon sticks
½ tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:

In a medium saucepan place water, sugars, cinnamon, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stir in vanilla.
Remove from heat, and remove cinnamon stick. If desired strain through a cheesecloth or coffee filter to remove excess cinnamon powder.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes and pour into container of choice.

Tuck a jar or dispenser bottle of this yummy homemade delight alongside some coffee, a pretty coffee mug, a seasonal inexpensive candle, and small package of chocolate covered espresso beans for a thoughtful and crafty gift. For storage, I love using mason jars. Tie it off with raffia and include a cinnamon stick and handmade label to finish it off. Perfect for gift exchanges, secret santa, or any coffee lover in your life.
