My daughter asked me to post this recipe for my chicken on my blog. She adores this chicken. It is a highly coveted item at my house. We are talking about brawls and WWE smack downs with metal chairs here. You can only take your allotted amount and that's it.

 

 

What you need is a bag a defrosted chicken breasts.

1 1/2 teaspoon Lawry's garlic salt (because no other will do)

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon paprika

 

You can add salt if you prefer but I have to watch my intake.

 

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly oil a pan. Arrange chicken in pan.

 

Sprinkle on seasoning and yes, I don't need to actually measure it out 'cause I rock.

For you newbies you can measure it out.

 

I love the way thyme smells.

 

I learned from a Lebanese friend that chicken and cinnamon are wonderful together.

 

I go through a lot on paprika if you can't tell from my industrial size container.

Then bake for 30 minutes.

Abracadabra!

 

 

 

 I had a lovely day with the house to myself. I was able to clean in peace and I baked.

I found a great recipe for Biscotti here:

 Don't they look divine!

 

Oh they turned out so well! I doubled the batch and substituted 1/2 of the white flour for whole wheat. I have to sneak it in where I can.

I also made 3 loaves of banana bread.

 

I took some pictures for my sister today.

 

 

They are all so photogenic.

Don't they look charming?

I took all these out on their property.

Michael looks dashing in his blues.

Just chillin on the big rocks.

 

 

Here is an out-take of the daddy dogpile. That one was hard to set up. Christopher could not understand what the heck we were doing. Maddy was my assistant. She tried real hard to get him to think it was fun.

 

 

 

This one is my favorite. Isn't my sister so darn purty?

I think they had fun.

 

Sunrise

 

I spent the night over at my sister Kristy's house in order to run errands with her early in the morning. She is so lucky to get to look at sights like these everyday. It's very pretty out there.

 

This is what's out her back yard!

 

Flavor combos

 

There are just some flavors that go together naturally. Like peanut butter and jelly or ketchup and mustard.

 

My children have come up with the most disgusting one I have ever heard of. They put rediwhip on pizza.... and declared it divine. I just could not bring myself to try it.

 

 

Rediwhip solo is a good thing... on ice cream delicious. BUT PIZZA???

 

I personally love the quirky combo of McDonald french fries and hot mustard.

 My hubster like a big 'ol glass of OJ with a spoonful of peanut butter. (bleah)

 

What unique flavor combos do you love?

I love the way my cat Stormy naps.

 

 

She twists her body in the most preposterous ways.

 

She most comfortable with her head upside down.

 

Doesn't she look sweet!

 

Oh to be able to nap this way.

 

You know a restaurant is good when you pull up in the parking lot and it looks like a convention for cable TV repairmen is going on.

 

My parents treated Jessica and I for lunch last week for her birthday. This is where she choose to go.

 

They have great steaks and are very reasonably priced. I meant to take a pic of it but I was so excited to eat it I forgot.
