What to do with Asian grilled chicken leftovers?
I chopped them up and made quesadillas with mozzarella, and whipped up a super easy soy ginger dipping sauce.
I’m thrilled it turned out really yummy and the kids liked them.

A Viking Cooks: Pork Fried Rice
I made pork fried rice tonight. I’ve always wondered if I could make decent fried rice at home. I had extra rice from last nights beef and broccoli, so it was perfect timing. It was delicious, but not quite as good as take out.
RECIPE:
Brown a few thin pork chops in oil. Set aside and dice.
Sauté 1/2 a large sweet onion, diced; slide onions to side of pan.
In a bowl, scramble three eggs the pout into center of hot pan, stirring until mostly cooked, then stir back in onions and the pork.
Add one reheated bag of frozen peas and carrots. Drizzle liberally with sesame oil and stir thoroughly, cooking until heated through.
Add about 8 cups of white rice (preferably leftovers that have been refrigerated overnight).
Stir the whole mess thoroughly and fry, stirring often for 5-10 minutes.
Drizzle with soy sauce to taste and take off the heat.

Little Miss Thing, age 5: “Daddy, do you want my apple?”
Me: “Why does this apple have a wooden stick stuck into it?”
Girl: “It used to be a caramel apple. I only like the caramel.”
Me: “Uh… I’ll pass.”
