Thai Cashew Chicken Stir Fry Recipe
It has been 9 days since we moved into our new house. –We’ve been living with my in-laws for the last 5 months since we moved to Utah from Louisiana.– Moving is chaos, pure unadulterated chaos (I believe that’s an oxymoron so take it for whatever its worth).
Here is our one finished room of the house…and even then it still isn’t really finished. We’ve yet to even open the boxes with all our pictures and art…
On top of the move, and the chaos that come with all the things–many of them junk I’m sure–that are accumulated after 3 children and 10 years of marriage, we decided to keep our kids in the school they started the year in, instead of moving them to our neighborhood school. This means a 30 minute commute to school with a third grader who attends full day and a kindergartner who attends half-day. So, instead of driving another 30 minutes back home three times a day, I spend the school hours of my day back at my in-law’s house until the school day is done.
After running whatever errands need to be run–at this point, it’s usually getting something we need to survive at our new house, like the ice melt we had to stop and buy yesterday so we could turn our driveway from an ice rink, back to a driveway–we usually get home at about 5:30 in the evening. I’m getting a little taste of what it feels like to be a mom who works full-time outside of the home.
Most of the rest of our house looks like this in varying degrees…
While I can’t deny that moving is very stressful, it is also a happy and exciting time. It is so exciting to live in a place, after 4 years of military life, that is permanent and our own. And things with the new house are progressing! We got our Christmas tree decorated and lit last night. And our office/homework room is coming along slowly but surely. We went the frugal but labor intensive IKEA route and it is day 3 and the bookshelves/cabinets are still not finished.
Because life is so hectic right now, I have been relying heavily on meals that I can whip up in under 30 minutes. This Thai Cashew chicken is amazing, and it is super simple and fast to prepare too. I told you earlier about my trip to the Sahale Snacks Headquarters in Seattle.
Recently Sahale Snacks sent me some of my favorite nut blends from my visit. I thought it would be fun to try them in a recipe! I absolutely love their Thai Cashew blend. It’s the perfect blend of Thai spices with just the right amount of kick. This deliciously savory Sahale Thai Cashew Chicken Stir Fry recipe is the outcome. Doesn’t it look delicious!
And you can whip this Thai Cashew Chicken Stir Fry up in less than 30 minutes (about 25 minutes!). Perfect for those busy days when you’re going non-stop.
