Sweet & Sour Chicken

I was inspired this week by a new blog I've {we} been following for a little while now........365 Days of Crockpot.  I love cooking in a crockpot, even though I couldn't imagine making a dinner every night in one for a whole year.....and that's just what Karen did!  It seems like I run out of ideas when I use my crockpot, or it's just the same old stuff cause I've never tried anything else!  Well Karen shares all her recipes and it just so happened I tried one of them today.  Sweet and Sour Chicken is one of my favorite Chinese food, which I don't eat very often and have NEVER tried to make it homeade.  I gave it a shot and it was so yummy!  I highly recommend it! I followed the recipe except the last hour of cooking, I put in a bunch of fresh chunky veggies {onion, carrots & green pepper}.

I also had to fill a cupcake order today, which was a variety order for a birthday party.  I usually don't do this, but it was for a special someone for her birthday to share with her work.  I thought I would try something new, and it turned out yummy.  Check out Jen's Bake Shoppe  to place your order :-)
