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!
