Sweet Ginger Chicken Stirfry

Now I know this stir fry looks healthy. But have no fear, beneath it's chicken and vegetable exterior is the glorious sweetness of sugar.

You know how much I love balance!

Yes, yes. We all know how evil sugar is and how you should never, ever, EVER, consume it.

Ummm, BOLLOCKS!!!

Two more words: Balance and Moderation.

It's not rocket science. It's physiology.
