General Tsao's Chicken

The election is going strong and no telling who will end up in the White House! However, I'd be willing to bet all three of the remaining candidates, Donald, Hillary and Bernie, can agree on one thing: that Chinese food is delicious!

I just discovered TheFrugalGirls.com and found a great looking recipe! It's Chinese, which my kids love (and perhaps the candidates too), and the prep time is fast, which I love! 

This recipe is for the crock pot, which also makes it a winner. I'll be trying it out this week with steamed rice, Szechaun green beans, and (store bought) dumplings. I know right now my kids will love it (and if a presidential candidate drops by for dinner, he or she will too)! Thanks Frugal Girls!
