This one is for Abby

I was going to post this last night, but had to leave for ballgames before I got a chance. (And sadly we lost both games.)

I didn't know what we were going to have for supper last night. We had to be at the ball field at 5:15 so I was thinking about just running by the burger shack and picking up some $1 burgers.

But, while grabbing a coke from the frig I saw a recipe on the back of a condiment jar and decided to try it. I did and it was a winner with the family.

We have been going through a difficult season in our house for a few months. It seems that we can't all agree on a good meal. Either the adults like the meal and the kids hate it, or the adults tolerate the meal while the kids love it. It makes me not want to cook!

Well, that isn't the only reason I don't want to cook!

Although Abby and I are sisters and share blood and some DNA we are pretty opposite on just about everything. Including our love to cook. Well her love and my disdain.

I thought it was funny that she would ask for help on supper at the same time I was wanting to post this recipe.
Here it goes:

1/2 C Mayonnaise
1/4 C Parmesan Cheese
4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4tsp Italian style dry bread crumbs

Mix the mayo and cheese together.
Then slather the mayo mixture on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top of the chicken.
Cook at 425 for 20 minutes or until the chicken is done.

It really was good, everyone liked it. It was quick and easy. Try it and let me know!

And here are my suggestions on making meal preparation easier and less time consuming.

Write down all the main dishes you cook and put them in categories, beef, pork, chicken, fish.
Then do your veggies the same way, corn, green beans, peas, grains, potatoes, etc.
Before you grocery shop pull a couple of items from all the categories.
(I only have beef, pork, and chicken on my list so I pull 2 from each category each week.)
This way you can shop according to the sales in your area and also the coupons you have on hand (if you do that kind of thing).

Hope this helps. I work better from a menu for the week then from just what I have in the frig and pantry.

And no, I didn't use the menu plan this week. I haven't even been to Walmart yet and its Wednesday! I'm surprised they haven't called to see where I am !

ps. Abby, hope this didn't make you sick!

That sounds yummy! I'll have to give it a try. I found one in a magazine the other day that was similar but coated in french fried onions. I love ff onions, so I think I am going to give that one a try too.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
