Bang Bang!

Last night Andy talked me into helping him make one of his most favorite foods for dinner. Bang bang chicken and shrimp from the Cheesecake Factory. After 3 hours of shopping (Well, Andy shopped while I babysat our little neighbor, Lilly), several near-arguments and after using about every pan in the kitchen, we didn't bother much with presentation, but it's supposed to look something like this:

I was skeptical, thinking that we could never make it as delicious as the cheesecake factory does. I was wrong. Our dinner was so delicious last night! It was sweet with the perfect kick from the many spices that were added. It may have had something to do with the nostalgia of eating this meal at the cheesecake factory on our wedding night, or the fact that it was 10:30 at night by the time we finally ate and we were starving.. but mostly it was just tasty :) There are tons of spices involved and we did end up with quite a mess in the kitchen, but it was well worth it. If you want to make it yourself, go here for the recipe. And call me so I can let you borrow some of my spices since I already bought them!
