A cheaper and healthier alternative to Chinese takeout – homemade General Tso’s Sweet Chili Chicken Rice Bowls with broccoli, red bell pepper, and mushrooms.
Adulting is hard. Very hard.
I found out in June that I need to buy a new car by July 2017, which means I need to start saving money. As an adult, that’s pretty hard to do because there are bills to pay and groceries to buy. I’ve never budgeted before, so for these past few months I’ve been reading up on it. It’s a little tougher for me because being self employed means my paycheck varies each month, but for now I picked a number and am tracking what I’m buying each month. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start. If you have advice on budgeting especially if you freelance, I’d love to hear them.
One category I noticed I spend heavily in is eating out. It’s no secret I love coffee houses, but I also tend to buy Chinese food a lot. And by Chinese food, I mean general tso’s chicken because that’s all I really order. Even when I try something different, I take one bite and go “this isn’t general tso’s.” As much as I love deep fried spicy chicken, I can’t keep spending $14 a month on it, sometimes $28 if I buy it twice (yikes). The next best way to get my general tso’s fix? Making it homemade with General Tso’s Sweet Chili Chicken Rice Bowls. It has all of your favorite elements – the sauce, the chicken, the rice – but is cheaper and healthier because the chicken isn’t deep fried and there are plenty of vegetables. I’m usually the odd one out saying this, but they never give you enough broccoli at the restaurants.
