If Bryce had a choice, we would be eating at Panda Express every night! That is how much he loves their Beef & Broccoli and Orange Chicken. But as you can imagine that would get really expensive and not very healthy. So I sought out to make the Best at home Beef & Broccoli! You can throw this dish together along with a pot of white rice in less than 30 minutes, this is the perfect weeknight meal. This Beef & Broccoli…
Italian food is one of my favorite foods to eat and or cook…!!! Chicken Parmesan is one of those dishes that takes a little bit of extra time, but is so worth the wait.

I know my water bill will appreciate it…HA! The only down fall was it made it so humid, you started sweating…
