This page was started for my son, Elijah, who was born with a diaphragmatic hernia. He was given a 50% chance of survival. You can ready about his journey here. After already overcoming so many hurdles and currently fighting the Failure to Thrive diagnosis, we were shocked to learn about his allergy to dairy and eggs - his main source of calories. This site will chronicle our transition into a dairy and egg free home and the recipes we try along the way.

Orange Cranberry Chicken


1 cup fresh cranberries
3/4 cup onion, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
3 lbs chicken
1 cup orange juice
3 tbsp margarine, melted
3 tbsp flour
2-3 tbsp brown sugar 
  
In a deep pan, combine cranberries, onion, salt, cinnamon, and ginger, orange juice. Cover and cook until cranberries are soft and mixture turns pinkish.
Combine margarine and flour until smooth; add to pan.  Cook on high until thickened. Stir in chicken and brown sugar; heat through. 
Serve over rice.
We added way more sugar than the recipe called for. This one was much better than the previous orange chicken recipe I posted, but still was not great. I served it over brown rice, which I really need to find an easier way to cook, and with corn. Rick and Reise loved it though, so it's up to them to eat the left-overs.
