jdoochinEvery now and then I like to have themed dinner nights. Does anyone know why sticking to a theme during dinner makes it a little more enjoyable? Me either. Nonetheless, last night was Chinese food themed night. Below includes my Asian cuisine meal for two:
Frozen Appetizer
General Chang's Chicken Spring roll is a great frozen appetizer with grilled chicken, broccoli and cabbage. Visit PF Chang's site for more appetizers and Asian meals.
Main Dish: Sesame chicken and noodles
