My grandma is a legend when it comes to jello.
Everyone remembers her for her jello. She didn't learn to cook until she was married. Everything she made was simple and wholesome. She was amazingly organized and clean. A modern lady and an old fashioned mom whose table was always full and always ready for family.

Sweet and Sour Chicken

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

1 can pineapple chunks, drained
1 large onion, chopped
1 Tbsp oil
1 1/4 C water
2 C carrots, sliced lengthwise into sticks
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 C brown sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 C ketchup
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 C chicken, diced and cooked
1 C green pepper, sliced in strips

Saute onion in oil.  Add water, carrots and bouillon cubes.  Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes.  Combine sugar, cornstarch and ginger.  Add ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and stir into vegetables.  Cook mixture until clear and thick.  Add chicken, pepper and pineapple.  Simmer for 5 more minutes.

Okay, sometimes I just make this and leave the chicken out completely.  Just fill it up with peppers and it is so good over rice.  I don't even miss the chicken but my Asian side does protest the whole time I do it!
