I miss you all :-(

How about "not asian orange chicken"... isn't fried or full of sodium (I had to make something up because DS1 can not have soy)

2 chicken breast cut to bite size
Mix Sauce before adding to chicken
1 tbsp molasses
1/2-3/4cp of orange jelly (we use low sugar)
Add desired amount of garlic (fresh or powder)

Heat up pan and add 2tbsp of oil. When pan is hot mix sauce and raw chicken together and cook on med-high until done, stirring often. When done cooking top with green onions (or add onion to sauce). We also have brocilli or greenbeans with it and put it all on rice.

purple-I never cooked anything like this so I may just try it ;-)

My hubby hates Chinese food (except when I am preg?) but he loves this recipe and my sesame chicken.

That sounds awesome, PP! I'm gonna try that too. Molasses is so good for you, too.

Gosh, maybe I missed something with potty training, but I never tried the naked method......does that usually work? (Not that I have or will have anyone to potty train anytime soon.)I do remember catching DD2 on her little potty one time with a dentistry magazine of her dad's "reading" it, and it was upside down. I have an awesome pic of that somewhere.

Have you ladies been doing exercise videos? I have GOT to make time for the gym or something. All I do lately is get up at crack of dawn, kids up and to school, get to work, work all day, home and tired, then dinner, homework, bath, reading, bed.....and I am down for the count myself. And my DH helps with all of it but the work part. I have to figure it out, though. I am too old to have it melt off if I eat only 800 cals a day for a month or whatever. I have to burn it off!

The naked method was all we could do... boys tend to have more accidents because they forget easy. Being naked worked because he had nothing on him to remind him that he could go while playing.

Both my brothers and hubby were potty trained that way but all the girls went straight to the toliet.

I have pic of DS1 reading "Guns and Ammo"... we are a little redneckish.

I use Molasses as a replacement for sugar and asian sauces.

Sesame Sauce - Molasses, Sesame oil, Garlic and Onion Powder, and sesame seed.... a little to simple!

Teriyaki - Molasses, Rice Wine Vinegar, Pineapple Juice, Lemon Juice, Garlic and Onion Powder, and Olive Oil

I guess that I just didn't read that advice since I had girls! Totally makes sense. I remember my dad doing the cheerio "aim" thing with my little brother.

With mine, I just left the door open and let them see me pee and whatever all the time. I'd be all casually like, This is what big girls do" and pretty soon they wanted to try it. I bet dads can do that pretty easily with their boys, too.

Awesome! I love making Asian foods but hate the chemicals in a lot of the prepared sauces. I am so trying this, thanks!!!! I think simple is best!

Your welcome.... and don't be afraid to add something to a recipe to make it to your taste.

My boys see us and their grandparents use the potty. DS1 tries to go standing up but I had to put a stop to that because he can't reach to toliet so I end up having to clean the floor and rugs everytime!

Awww! It's so cute that he is trying and wants to do it standing up!
