MY HAPPY PLACE, plus a DINNER IDEA

I love Whole Foods Market!


I have referenced their recipes several times, (See smoothies, under Flips label) and I just can't get enough of the place. 
It is my happy place, really.  I go there every couple of weeks to stock up on organic items that you can't find elsewhere.  If you have one of these stores close to you, check it out.  It will make you happy.
They sell these packs of veggies, all ready to cook.  This is the stir-fry pack.  (We have also tried the asparagus with lots of garlic and olive oil ready for roasting, yum!)
 I dumped the pack into a hot skillet with a little oil and stir-fried until tender.
 This is an easy sweet and sour sauce made by mixing equal parts apricot preserves (or plum jam is great, also) and Ott's Famous dressing.  You can also use French dressing or Catalina, depending on what you like.
One marinated chicken breast that Daddio grilled and sliced to add to the veggies.  (I put chicken breasts individually, in the freezer with lemon juice, garlic and herbs for dishes like this.  You can also use lime and chili powder with oregano.  Handy)
Pop some frozen egg rolls in the oven, or drop by your local take-out place, even better!
 Heat the sweet and sour in the microwave and pour over the chicken and veggies.  Be sure and save some to dip the egg rolls.  So easy and fresh.  Daddio says, "Tasty!"
