I just made The Sweet & Sour Chicken Recipe and it was awesome ever! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I will definitely make it again!

Add a bit of ketchup (tsp) and sauce will turn red, add cornstarch (instead of flour) to a bit of pineapple juice, and no worries about having to cook flour. If you want you could get a bit of juice mixed with cornstarch & put it in pan first to heat up.

Hi Karrie, I just came across your page recently and I’m making several of your freezer meals. Can the above Sweet & Sour Chicken recipe be made into a freezer meal? If so, what would you do different to freeze it if anything? Thanks so much for your help.
Karrie says
Hello Cheryl. Nope, this one would not be a great freezer meal because of the celery, cooked peppers and possibly the water chestnuts too.

Thanks Karrie for the info. Wish it would have worked. Love your site. Hope to see more freezer recipes soon. 🙂
