Woo hoo, for once bowling was good. For both of us and for the team generally - we were all there and everyone was doing pretty well. It was such a nice feeling.
The bowling alley was giving out calendars to everyone and I got my usual foodie one. There are some delicious looking recipes coming up for the year, I will, no doubt, be sharing them in the future.
Although I am delighted we didn't get the snow received by many places, we certainly got a good dollop of the white stuff. Gives me a chance to post a snow rabbit.
I didn't mention before, we had a power outage at the weekend and when I
went to reset the clocks I discovered my CPAP machine was dead. Tried it in another outlet, still dead. I phoned the company I got it from and they are trying to find out if there is any warranty at this stage, I have had it 3 years. Our insurance don't cover me for a new one unless it is 5 years, so I might be SOL. I can't believe it happened. We have had plenty of power outages in the years I have owned it. Typical, of course, I haven't used it as much as I should lately and just when I had decided I really must start doing so again, this happens.
Here's a nice easy recipe for supper tonight.
Orange-Sauced Chicken
Orange-Sauced Chicken is a super-fast supper (think 10 minutes!) that’s rich with flavor, yet only has around 200 calories per serving—which means you don’t have to feel bad about going in for seconds.
Orange juice, chicken broth, orange marmalade, and fresh lemon juice combine to make a truly irresistible sauce for chicken breasts dredged in Italian-style breadcrumbs. Orange marmalade can be found near the jams and nut butters at your local grocery. Serve over sticky white rice with mixed vegetables on the side.
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 Tbs orange marmalade
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
3/4 tsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp dried crushed rosemary
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless, chicken breast halves
1 Tbs Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
1 tsp olive oil
Cooking spray
1 tsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
2. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs.
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or just until lightly browned on both sides. Add broth mixture; cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Sprinkle with parsley
Servings: 2

Have a great day
I pinned your recipe. Sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI thought so Denise, I will certainly be making it in the near future.
DeleteSorry the machine died.
ReplyDeleteWe're just getting cold and rain. Blah.
It turns out the manufacturers are going to replace it Alex. Which is great.
DeleteHere it's -3°C and feels like -10°C because there is a bad wind. Matt had to go to the docs for a refill and there is a short walk from the parking lot. Miserably cold.
Awesome recipe, thanks for sharing. Sorry it broke.
ReplyDeleteYour'e welcome RR. At least they are replacing it.
DeleteSorry to hear about your CPAP. I hope there's warranty coverage. Maybe your renter's insurance would cover it if your deductible isn't high.
ReplyDeleteTurns out they are going to warranty it for me JoJo. I also thought about renter's insurance but don't have to go that route now.
DeleteI love the rabbit. I'd love to experience a white Christmas. That is very typical of a machine to break down just when you really need it. They aren't cheap either. Good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteI love the rabbit too Pinky. We don't get them every year unfortunately - global warming has affected that I think. Luckily they are going to warranty it, you are right, they are very expensive.
DeleteHappy to read that they are replacing it! Wonderful news, and congratulations on the great bowling!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that recipe! But now it's on the road to SC before the winter blast hits this weekend!
Big relief Yolanda. Thanks, just hope it keeps up.
DeleteHave fun in SC and I hope the winter doesn't catch you.
Very glad that the manufacture is going to replace it.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots and lots of snow. Looking like icing sugar falling from the sky.
Me too Ivy, they are extremely expensive.
DeleteI know what you mean about the snow.
I hope it sticks around for Christmas. Last Christmas it was so warm that I was able to hang the bedding out.
DeleteMe too Ivy. Don't remember it was that warm.
DeleteI was thinking that today when I let the dogs out. And here we're under a winter watch again.
DeleteHey, did you get my email, if not, please send me one so I can answer back. Got something I want to send you.
Not sure about your email, will send you one Ivy.
DeleteOkay, thanks. I've been sending to the address I have for you but it's not going through. But when you send to me, it seems to get back. Ack. I dunno.
DeleteCyber glitches Ivy
DeleteI read they are replacing your machine which is great news. Love the snow rabbit and loving the snow! It has really put me in the Christmas spirit. I pass on the orange chicken.....I tried making it in the crock pot years go when I was emotionally raw from my split with my ex. Let's just say it looked like I was wanting to make a volcano and the taste of the orange and chicken. Left a bad taste. You just don't want to mix up baking powder with baking soda.
ReplyDeleteYes, just picked up the machine Birgit. I think with the amount of snow we have, it may well stay for Christmas. I don't like the sound of your chicken at all LOL
