Cashew Chicken Stir Fry
A few weeks back we went to a local Chinese restaurant to pick up some food as I was hungry for stir-fry and didn’t feel like cooking. We picked out cashew chicken, general’s chicken, and curry chicken stir fries.

Zucchini and Cheddar Cheese Biscuits
We have a fairly big garden and I always plant too many zucchini. Even if I give away many of the zucchini I still need to find dishes to use up all the rest that I have. Today I’m making a zucchini cheddar biscuit that I think is pretty unique.
