Take-Out Style Orange Chicken and Broccoli over Rice Recipe
Do you ever have nights that you really really really want your favorite take out but you also really really really do not want to get dressed, do your hair or makeup and leave the house?
If you answered yes then you are going to love this Take-Out Style Orange Chicken and Broccoli Recipe we are sharing. When Martha Stewart Living and Success® Rice asked if I wanted to try my hand at making this recipe and sharing it with all of you I jumped at the chance.
John loves Take Out Orange Chicken! I mean LOVES it! I love making him happy but with my travel schedule and running the blog there are nights I honestly want to kick back on the couch and watch some TV in comfy clothes.
These are the nights that we give each other the looks. You know the looks you give your spouse or significant other when you really want something, but you also know they really don't want to do it.
So now instead of giving each other the looks and having to rock, paper, scissors to see who wins now, John can have his favorite take-out meal at home, and I can stay in my comfy clothes and no makeup! Total Win-Win!
To make our meal a little fancier even when serving it in comfy clothes I played with a few Martha Stewart Craft supplies! These Chinese Envelope Place Settings were so easy to make!
Thank you, Martha Stewart Living, for coming up with this super cute and easy way to spruce up our date night at the home dinner table!
This recipe worked out perfectly because we had leftovers that were great for John's lunch! To continue our theme of Take-out meals at home I used take-out containers and spruced them up a bit to make a cute storage container.
I have to admit these looked so cute in our refrigerator! Plus they worked perfectly for John to carry to work for lunch! Another win-win! I like nights like this a lot!!!
