For my 20th Birthday, I went to the Bahamas. It was a great trip. Lots of fun. We found this little Japanese restaurant and I had the Ginger Chicken. It was amazing!

Over the years, I have tried to replicate it. Never the same. Enter my wife. She tweaked the recipes that I had. This is the recipe that we decided upon.

Enjoy!

Since I was a kid, I remember sitting in the kitchen to watch and/or help my parents. As I grew up, I decided to try their recipes and experiment with different recipes. Some were very good and I re-make them all of the time. Others? Yeah, I never tried them again. All of the recipes that I post are the very good ones. Also, while growing up, my pops suffered from high blood pressure, so my mom stopped adding sodium. Since that is how I was raised, all of the dishes that I post do not have any extra sodium added to it. A lot of friends and family who try my recipes, either do not notice nor miss it. But in no way am I saying not to add salt if you use my recipes. If you want to add it, then go for it. In closing, I hope that you enjoy my recipes. If you use any, then please post pictures. Enjoy!
