Sunday FUN-day

Living in Orange County, we have lots of options as to how we can entertain our kids. We love to get out and have fun as a family. We have hit up all the parks and beaches. We do Disneyland and even some museums but when it comes to a fun and educational trip, nothing has compared to Pretend City.

We took Rhi last year and I was amazed by everything that was there. Pretend Play is a HUGE part of development in kids, so this trip was perfect for us.
Within Pretend City, Rhiannon was able toddle through all of the things you would imagine being in one of our cities (just her size). Her favorites were the doctors office and the fishing docks but there were so many other things to explore. Instead of telling you all about it, I want to invite you all to join us.


Join us? You heard me right. I am inviting you to come with us. Actually Pretend City has invited you.

This Sunday, the 28th of August, it is PBS SoCal Day with Martha Speaks. Pretend City has been so generous and they are offering all Rock-A-Bow readers a 2 for 1 entry coupon! If you want to know more about the event, go here and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Here is your coupon. Click the image to enlarge. Oh and if you come PLEASE find me and say hello. I'll be tweeting while there so let me know if you are looking for us.

It's not all in the sauce...

This past week I tried my hand at couponing for the first time. It didn't go half bad. I will try it again and hopefully improve my skills but that is a whole other post. This time around I had a coupon for "Buy one, get one free" on Kikkoman products. We use soy sauce but 2 bottles? No, thank you. I grabbed a jar of the Teriyaki glaze with Honey and Pineapple. Sounded good enough.

All morning I thought about my glaze and how it sounded so boring. Something delicious as a simple glaze...I wanted more. So I thought up a meal around it and daydreamed about creating it all afternoon. Doesn't everyone do that? No, just me? You will be grateful in a minute.

Here is my creation. It has no name though. Boo. Help me out in naming it so I can save it in my recipe book, please!

Ingredients:

1 large Chicken Breast
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup corn meal
1 red pepper
1/2 of a white onion
1-1 1/2 cup pineapple
2Tbsp Crushed red pepper
1/4 cup Kikkoman Terriyaki glaze Honey and Pinepple

Directions:
Mix your flour and corn meal.
Cut your chicken into 1" cubes, dip in egg and coat well in dry mixture.

Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a wok or skillet. Brown chicken.

While chicken is browning cut your pineapple, onion and red pepper.

When chicken is cooked, set aside.Add another Tbsp of oil to your wok, add the onion and pepper. Wok for about 5 min before adding the pineapple. After adding the pineapple, cook for about 3 min.

Put chicken back into the wok with your fruit and veg. Mix in your sauce and crushed red pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, just long enough for it to melt and coat everything.

Serve and enjoy!
