Mandarin Orange Chicken Shish Kabob’s

March 12, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Let me tell you I did my first training workout for my virtual 5k on Monday and I swear my legs are going to fall off.  I looked at the workout and thought, no problem, this won’t be hard, I was wrong, it was hard!  But hard work pays off right?  That is what I have to keep telling myself.  At least with the nice weather, I was able to do my workout outside and you know what else I did outside?  I made the most delicious Shish Kabob’s.

I have an abundance of Mandarin Oranges and I wasn’t sure what else I could do with them, except eat them!   I have been on a major citrus kick and the little cuties are just so sweet and juicy that I can’t resist them.  So what do I do with them?  I did a Google search and I saw that Sunkist has a bunch of recipes to use citrus with.  I saw this recipe on there website and I thought I would give it a try.

Good choice on my part!  The chicken is super moist and the flavors of the mandarin orange give the chicken a little sweetness, which goes perfect with the onions and peppers.  Kind of a tropical feel to my dish.  To stick with my tropical theme, I served my chicken with brown rice and a few more oranges.  I only have about 20 more to use up.

I took my basic barbecue sauce ,which was Trader Joe’s and added the juice of two mandarin oranges to it and I also skewed a few of these little guys between my veggies and chicken.  I’m not sure how I feel about barbecue oranges, but they are ok.  But the barbecue sauce was super delish!  A little spicy and a little sweet.  I love that you can take a basic barbecue sauce and kick it up a notch with some orange flavor.  It’s  a great idea and I plan on trying it next time on shrimp!  Yum!

Mandarin Orange Chicken Shish Kabob's

Well my Friends, I am running late on blog posts and meals, so I need to get my butt in gear and start cooking and writing.  Normally I catch up on the weekend, but not this weekend, I am so behind on everything.  I just hate that!!  But that means I stay busy, and I won’t worry about being board!  🙂

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      Hi Jen! I have to say it is hard! I am not a runner at all, even though I have long legs. It’s just not my thing, but it feels good to get it done, and I am hoping I will love it! I just need to jog some where more exciting then the green wall I stare at. 🙂

    These look delicious! My husband would have to do the grilling though. I don’t know why, but using the grill makes me nervous……I ‘ve never cooked on it before! Silly, I know! I need to get one of those grill pans for my stovetop!
    Love that you are training for a 5K! The virtual idea is a cool one! Anytime there are 5k races (I haven’t done one…..yet!) they are always an hour or more out of town! 🙂 Have fun and keep us posted!

      My Husband used to grill, but he has gotten lazy over the years, so I do all the grilling, except when he wants his hot dogs, then he has to grill them! 🙂 The training for the 5k is hard, but I have been enjoying it. I wonder how long it will take me to do the 5k. I am not a runner, so I’ll do the best I can.

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
