Dieting…

Last night I made Polynesian Chicken Wings (or as my daughters use to call them “Sticky Chicken”).  My husband and I are dieting so I made these to go with baked veggies and salad.  They are delicious and although higher in calories than chicken breast they are worth it.  Orange Juice and lemon juice are used to sweeten them up…plus a little sugar…which I halved. 

Here’s the original recipe~

Polynesian/Sticky Chicken Wings

pepper

1/3 c. orange juice

1/3 c. lemon juice

1/3 c. water

1/4 c. soy sauce

1/3 tsp. ground ginger

1 tbsp. cornstarch

1/2 c. sugar

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan (except the chicken wings); mix and boil over moderate heat for 5 minutes.   Lay the wings out in a single layer on a foil-lined jelly roll pan and pour mixture over chicken wings. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until crispy.  Delish!!

Why is it that when you’re on a diet all you can think of is FOOD??

On the quilting front~ This morning I’m off to Heritage Quilting.  I need to take a hand stitching project so I thought I would take along this project that I started in Desert Hot Springs.  Sure would be nice to finish it off!!

I really like this little wall hanging…called Autumn Bounty by Kathy Cardiff of The Cottage @ Cardiff Farms. 

The background is in cotton flannels and the applique is done in wool.  I love the pomegranates…hmmm…wonder how many calories are in a pomegranate…they ARE good for you and are SO delicious!  See what I mean…FOOD…CONSTANTLY!!

Have a marvellous Monday and Happy Quilting!~P
