Gluten Free Sweet and Sour Chicken

I am a cooking rule breaker.  I don't really follow directions well which is why I am better cook than baker.  Tonight I did a bit of exploring with a favorite dish of my families. 
1 lb of chicken breast
3 tbls ketchup
2 tbls gluten free soy sauce
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 tbls honey
1 cup cornstarch
salt, pepper, garlic to taste

 I chopped the chicken into bite size pieces and then sauteed it in a little butter with the salt, pepper and garlic in my wok.  (a frying pan would work just as well)  While that was cooking I mixed the ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar and honey into a sauce.  Once the chicken was cooked through, I mixed in the cornstarch and then poured the sauce over it.  I baked it on 350degrees for 30 minutes.   I think next time I may add sesame seeds.  We ate it over rice, but it would be good over veggies too. 
My five year old son proclaimed this the best dinner I ever made and considering he is my picky eater, I take this as the highest complement.  Enjoy!!

Our Life In Christ By Jenafer Haddy


Our Life in Christ

 

Sometimes it may be hard to tell our kids things without being hands on. Yup, I'm a hands on learner. So I grabbed a few things and had fun.

You will need:

a clear carbonated drink

a clear cup

4-6 raisins

the Bible

 

Yup that is it. Pour the drink into the cup, add the raisins and watch. As the Raisins sit on the bottom the bubbles will attach to it. Then once it has enough bubbles it will float to the top. As it loses bubbles it will fall.

 

This is how we are in Christ. As we spend time in His Word, Pray and follow His Word we will be adding on more bubbles. Soon we will be floating high in His peace and grace, but if we take our eyes off Jesus and spend less time with Him we will fall down. Jesus is always there around us, just as the drink is always around the raisins, we must take the time to spend it with Him.

 

Once done you should Read John 15.

John 15:4-5

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. "I am the vine, you [are] the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. “
