Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

Adopt-A-Classroom

Adopt-A-Classroom invites the community into the classroom in support of teachers and their students. By adopting a classroom, donors form partnerships with specific classrooms providing financial and moral support. The result is a meaningful contribution to education in which donors experience the impact of their efforts and celebrate in a classroom's success.

Asian Chicken Stirfry

My Mom sent a bunch of PA green beans, and a ton of other veggies, with my best friend Tatum to give me when she came to visit this weekend. What to do with all of these green beans? Asian Chicken Stirfry!

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
Fresh Green Beans
2 Green Peppers
2 Red Peppers
1 Jalapeno - (not seeded)
Olive Oil
Onion Powder
Cayan Powder
1 Bottle of Kraft Light Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing

Place Chicken in olive oil on medium heat; halfway through cooking, cover with half bottle of Dressing; season chicken with onion powder and cayan pepper
In separate skillet place peppers (cut into big chunks), jalapeno, in olive oil on medium heat
Cover vegetables (to your liking) with Asian Dressing
Sprinkle with Onion Powder and Cayan Powder
Cook until tender
Remove chicken from pan and cut into pieces
Add to vegetables and mix together
Serve. It's a little spicy, but you could serve it with rice. I personally liked the heat! Enjoy!

Educational Data by State
