  1. Gave two stars because it was very easy to make however it did not have enough flavor for us, my husband said it almost tasted like plain chicken, we did not care for it at all
     
  2. Made this with just a few small changes ~ I made this with 4 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-size pieces) & used almost 3/4 cup of fresh orange juice along with all the zest (minced) from 1 large orange (I LOVE the taste)! That all made for A VERY NICE TASTING chicken dish! [Tagged, made & reviewed for the All Aboard! French Challenge during ZWT5]
     
  3. This was easy to throw together and the meat cooked up great. I would add more garlic next time and use some fresh squeezed juice and zest. Thanks for posting. Made for the Saucy Senoritas ZWT5.
     
  4. Really good! Lots of flavour & nice tender meat. I was surprised at how the orange flavour shone through.
     
  5. Made and reviewed for the Zaar swap # 17, 2008. My family ate it but said it was nothing special. I like the subtle hint of citrus. And it looked great.

<p><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/cjmcqb/Family/IMG_0556-1-1-2-2.jpg alt=width=58 height=116 /><br />I have been married to the most wonderful man for 34 years. He is my best friend and the love of my life, my soulmate, and everyday he makes me smile!&nbsp; We have two wonderful children, both adults, and both the loves of our lives.&nbsp; We are so proud of them!<br /><br />I want to say <strong>THANK YOU</strong>&nbsp; <img title=Laughing src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing />&nbsp; to all of you who try my recipes. I may not always get back with a Thank you in writing but I want you to know I do thank you very much. I appreciate any and all comments, it can only help me learn and become a better chef. <br /><br />I love to travel and see anything and everything. When summer comes, I am off to see. DH and I traveled across country several times and our children are seasoned travelers as well. Road Trip are 2 of my favorite words. The kids and I have done a few trips as well down the eastern seaboard and there are plans for more. Both DD and DS are gypsies as well and think nothing of taking a road trip to visit home or each other. LOVE IT <br /><br />I live in Western New York and love it here, snow and all. I am a special education teacher and enjoy my career. The sense of wonder and gratification comes daily. My favorite pastime is spending time with my family! I also love to read, listen to music and watch good movies. We have Friday night pizza night here, which means I do not cook! I love Friday's. I started this custom when my children were small and we would cuddle on the floor and play games together and eat pizza. (Highly recommended for all moms out there, dads too.) I LOVE THAT! <br /><br />My favorite cookbook has changed since I came to Zaar, it is now the Zaarworld cookbook. I can get everything I need here and then some, to cook up meals for family and friends. One passion of mine is to cook homestyle meals for family and friends, holiday dinners, and baking bread. <br />My pet peeve is rudeness. INTOLERABLE! <br /><br />Some of the Contests and Swaps I have participated in and thoroughly enjoyed! <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/final2_1.jpg
