This week I'm taking part in two 'carnivals' - 'Tasty Tuesday' hosted by the wonderful Jennifer at 'Balancing Beauty and Bedlam' , as well as TMTT hosted by the lovely Lisa at Blessed by Grace.
I'm sharing another 'Weight Watcher' recipe this week. SWEET AND SOUR PORK (but I used chicken!). I made this last week and served it on the night I did my first tablescape post. This is another one that I will be adding to my favorites and making on a regular basis. Once you have all the ingredients assembled it comes together pretty quick. Here's what you need:
I'm sharing another 'Weight Watcher' recipe this week. SWEET AND SOUR PORK (but I used chicken!). I made this last week and served it on the night I did my first tablescape post. This is another one that I will be adding to my favorites and making on a regular basis. Once you have all the ingredients assembled it comes together pretty quick. Here's what you need:
1lb pork tender loin (or chicken)2 tblsp cornstarch
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
3 tblsp ketchup
2 tblsp soy sauce
1 tblsp canola oil
1 tblsp minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper
1 8oz can pineapple chunks in juice, drained
1. Combine the chicken with 1 tblsp of cornstarch and set aside. Combine the remaining 1 tblsp of cornstarch, the water, vinegar, sugar, ketchup and soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Heat a nonstick work or deep skillet, stir fry the chicken until almost cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic, and stir fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the bell pepper and pineapple, stir fry about 3 minutes. Add the vinegar mixture and cook stirring constantly until the mixture boils and thickens and the chicken is cooked through, 1-2 minutes.
Per serving (1 cup) 287 cals. Points: 6 (Serves 4). I added a small can of water chestnuts and some fresh broccoli to my dish which I don't think added to the points.
AS you can see I served this last week on my 'Asian Flair Tablescape' :-) Served with a small side of white rice (1/2 cup=2 pts) and extra steamed broccoli (0 pts). This meal was delicious. Having the table set like this made it all the more fun. What I would like to do next time is make the wonton soup also from my WW book. That would be a great start to the meal. . . . don't you think?

that looks too yummy for words. :O)
And your tablescape to match was inspired! I thought of you on Saturday, when I bought some sparkly napkin rings. I was wondering how and when I'd use them, which reminded me of you and your tablescape. I'll have to do something pretty and soon. I don't set the table as much as I should because little one and I tend to eat in the afternoon and Bill is often home late, so the timing is all wrong. Weekends aren't much better either! Maybe I'll make a big effort for my bd, and that will give me a bit of time to think about it. :O)
Have a lovely Tuesday. I'm worn out. A big walk this morning, a visit from my mum and a hurried rush around to tidy things up afterwards means I've been rushing about like a lunatic for hours!!!

This looks delicious! Everyone at my house loves sweet and sour...anything! I see your a Texas girl! whoo-hoo! I live in the Dallas area. Nice to meet you! Don't be a stranger!
Hi Texas girl! LOL! The S&S Chicken looks yummy! I am a fanatic about china and they have really cute Asian-style dinnerware at Bed, Bath & Beyond. I like the square plates, etc... and it's fun to eat with chopsticks. I tend to eat too fast so they help me slow down a bit.
What do I do when Ryan's not here... never a problem for me as I keep busy constantly! Never enough hours in the day. Today was my big clean day and tomorrow Jeff and I are going to see a matinee of Harry Potter.

I am definitely trying this one. I wish I had a big plate of that right now! Mmmm!
Great photos! I love the table :)
Looks good and pretty healthy!

I think I told you before Denise, I love your "BOO". My new rescue Lucky has the same little mouth. It looks like he's saying "cheese" all the time.

Love Claudie

Oh my goodness that looks delicious. Do you have to use the rice vinegar or will white vinegar work?
