In recent weeks, we've talked about what to make when certain meats (or no meats) are on sale. But you can also do the same sort of meals by buying meat in bulk.

Recipe: Low Sugar Crockpot Orange Chicken
Almost two years ago I posted my recipe for crockpot orange chicken. It's still one of my favorites, because orange chicken is my absolute favorite kind of Chinese takeout. But where the takeout versions is usually breaded and fried, and full of gluten and sugar, I wanted a better version. And while the old version got rid of the gluten, it was still pretty high in sugar. So I started experimenting again.
