Today’s recipe is one of those that I wasn’t sure about sharing because it’s so easy, but from experience I know you all love those the best. 🙂 It’s my go-to way to make shredded barbecue chicken in the slow cooker – I use this chicken in so many different recipes (not just barbecue chicken sandwiches!). I love making shredded chicken like this because 1) it makes a lot so we get a couple of meals out of it and 2) it is very versatile (it’s seasoned well, but without sauce). You can always freeze what you don’t use as well. With a family a 5 I usually don’t have a problem using it all up, over a couple of meals.

Last weekend, my sweet boy turned 8 years old. So hard to believe how fast my baby is growing up. We celebrated his birthday with a morning of bowling fun with a few buddies, followed by watching the Gator game at home with our family. It was pretty much the most perfect day.

I try to listen to my body when it comes to cravings. I have heard often enough that when your body is craving certain foods, it could mean that maybe it needs or is lacking a certain nutrient that is found in the food you are craving.

Or that could all be baloney and you’re really just hungry, obsessed with food, stubborn or all of the above. I choose all of the above (most of the time).

I have been intimidated by it for so long, yet it is one of our favorite foods so I would so love to be able to eat it more often without feeling guilty about getting take out all the time.

I recently found this recipe on Joelen’s Culinary Adventures. This blog is full of good stuff, there is so much to read and look through, I just love it!!

Joelen’s Mongolian Beef recipe is so easy to make…I had a lean sirloin steak in the freezer and sliced it up very thin. I served it with stir fried broccoli and snap peas and brown rice. This meal was perfect for a weeknight and made plenty for leftovers for lunch the next day.

Mongolian Beef

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches green onion, cut in 1 inch pieces
• 1 lb lean beef, sliced thin
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 onion, diced
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• 1/4 cup soy sauce

Directions:

1. Season sliced beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
2. Sprinkle cornstarch over beef and toss to coat. Set aside.
3. In hot pan saute garlic and onion in cooking oil until softened.
4. Add meat and brown.
