Chinese chicken and broccoli

Ingredients:
3 chicken breast cutlets (or more, depends on how much you need), cut into thin strips
1 tsp fresh ginger
1 tsp sugar
4 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs corn startch
4 tsps corn starch
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 broccoli bunch, cut
1 1/4 cups water

Preparation:
-Combine: 1 Tbs corn startch, with 1 Tbs soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic with chicken. Mix well.
-Heat 1 Tbs of oil in non-stick skillet, add chicken and stir fry until chicken is done.
-In another pot or skillet, heat Tbs oil, add broccoli and onion. I usually put the lid on for a few minutes so the broccoli can cook from the steam, don't over cook though. Stir in chicken.
- In another bowl. Combine: water, 4 tsp corn startch, and 3 Tbs soy sauce, mix well. Then add this mixture to the broccoli and chicken. Bring to boil, cook and stir until sauce thickens.

Tip: You can add some sliced carrots to this recipe, try it with beef strips too!

Easy Banana Pudding Parfaits

This recipe is taken from Food & Family magazine.

12 NILLA Wafers (or a similar wafer), divided

1/4 cup thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping

10 slices banana (about 1 small)

2 Vanilla pudding snacks (the ready made ones)

CRUSH 10 of the wafers to form coarse crumbs. Place one-fourth of the wafer crumbs in each of two parfait glasses or dessert dishes; top each with 1 Tbsp. of the whipped topping, 2 banana slices and one-half of the contents of 1 pudding snack cup. Repeat layers of crumbs, banana slices and pudding snack; cover. REFRIGERATE at least 15 min. or up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, wrap reserved banana slices tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to use. TOP each parfait with 1 Tbsp. of the remaining whipped topping, 1 of the remaining wafers and remaining banana slices just before serving.

Everyone who's tried this dessert LOVED it, and it looks pretty too! I used the clear disposable plastic cups! :)
