ALMOND CHICKEN CUPS

Here is my first recipe blog ever!!!

1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 cups of cooked chicken

2/3 cup prepared sweet-sour sauce

1/2 cup chopped almonds

2 tablespoons of soy sauce

( 6 or 7 inch) tortillas

1. Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in small skillet over medium heat until hot. Add bell peppers and onions (I also added zuchinni). Cook 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.

2. Combine vegetable mix, chicken, sweet-sour sauce, almonds and soy sauce in medium bowl; mix well.

3. Cut each tortilla in half. Place each half in muffin cup. Fill with mixture. ( I only had the big tortillas so I got a little creative)

4. Bake 8-10 minutes or until tortilla edges are crisp and filling is hot, remove and let stand for about 5 minutes.

We did a little minute rice and it was great, you have to like sweet and sour though!! I thought maybe a teriyaki substitution would be good too!!

YUMMY

my heart

Do you ever wonder why you are the way you are?
Are you sarcastic, funny, a happy person, out spoken, judgemental? Or do you wear your heart on your sleeve- like me?

Im all of these things, depending on the situation...but my biggest flaw is taking everything to heart EVERYTHING-
Im just like my mom in that way and I hate it......I really really hate it.

I went to Wenatchee for a day and by the time I left I couldnt take it anymore!
Everything affects me- or so I think. Im not one to take things with " a grain of salt" I take it all and I take it all hard.

If something goes wrong or I feel a funny feeling when Im leaving somewhere I analize it, down to what was said, who said what, and so forth.

Zachs grandma even said " the short time we have been together you have let everything affect you" "just let it flow".

HAHAHAHA

I dont even think that is possible, I am a planner...if plans change I go crazy- I dont just roll with the punches, never have and probably never will- ITS NOT ME.
If you know me you should love me for who I am, how I am, and what I am.
I dont think this is one of my greater qualities, but its me.

I went to Wenatchee on a wim and look where it got me, upset and frustrated.......I dont fly by the seat of my pants, Ive tried but it just makes me a little CRAZY (to say the least).

I hope you all are happy with who you are and what you have become, Ill try to be more easy going, Ill try not to "case" every situation, and Ill try to get over it-
Ill try......
