Crock Pot Orange Chicken

A little advice to the ladies, when you become pregnant, use your crock pot as much as possible. I can't tell you how many times I've appreciated my crock pot and how I can put something in it in the morning and it's ready when we get home from work. Most days I am exhausted and not in the mood to cook. This keeps us from having to order takeout or go grab fast food, which is good because I  need to be eating more nutritional foods for my growing boy. :)

This orange chicken was delicious. We cooked some brown rice in the rice cooker and my husband steamed a bag of stir fry veggies that are fresh from the produce section at the store. It was delicious, balanced, and made my night.
