For October’s Secret Recipe Club, I was paired up with Nora from Natural Noshing. Nora is about the same age as me and has “a passion for nutrition and eating natural, real food — nothing too fussy, over-processed or complicated.” The fact that she avoids gluten and limits her sugar intake seemed a bit daunting at first (I am, after all, a carb-avore that loves sweets), but my worries went away when I started perusing her recipes.
Between Almond Joy / Mounds Pancakes, Chicken Vindaloo, Fire Roasted Chicken Enchiladas with Squash and Red Peppers, Kickin Cashew Chicken, Red Thai Tofu Curry, Pineapple Upside Down Cake for One, and Spicy Kabocha Soup, I’ve bookmarked quite a few recipes to try out later.
One of our comfort foods during while were were dating was Kung Pao Tofu from a local Chinese restaurant. Because of this, it wasn’t hard for my husband to decide on this dish as his SRC pick. Not only did he pick this dish, but he also made it for us one day while we were working from home together.
This recipe won’t solve your craving for Chinese take-out style because it is much lighter and less greasy. It tastes fresher, especially with the crunch of the red bell peppers. Since the dish is relatively easy and quick to make, next time I’d like to try boosting up the spice as well as swapping the chicken for tofu.
Wonderful! I ALWAYS need a new chicken recipe!
Kung Pao chicken is one of my favorites for takeout… this version sounds awesome!!

How nice that your husband gets involved in the selection of the recipes! That is so sweet! the dish looks delicious, and I love your bowl!
I always enjoy a good stir fry at home. Great pick!
Kung Pao, a favorite for sure! I only made it from scratch once or twice, usually reserve the recipe for restaurants, which is silly… your post proves it!
😉

This looks wonderful! I love kung pao chicken and tofu, and your lighter, fresher version looks right up my alley. =)
We love Kung Pao Chicken! Great pick!
Seriously, I’m making this next week. It sounds and looks delicious! I love Kung Pao!! Great pick this week.
The beauty of take-out-at-home is that it’s healthier – leaving you not feeling guilty. Although, sometimes it’s true, you just want that greasy, no-good-for-you fried chicken. 😉
This sounds like a dish that would be a favorite in our household! Great pick this month 🙂
Yum, such a wonderful looking chicken recipe. Great SRC pick!
Take away at home is always a winner – great pick this month!
