Nana Joan’s Curried Chicken

Posted by Heidi on Jan 31, 2007 with No Comments
in My Kitchen

My Mother In Law taught me how to make this, and it is one of my kids FAVORITE recipes.

1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup honey

2 Tablespoons Curry Powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons Spicy Mustard

Mix all the above ingredients.

Place 4-5 thawed chicken breasts in a glass dish.

Drizzle the sauce all over the chicken.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

I serve this over rice. I prefer jasmine or basmati. As far as a vegetable with this meal, I usually serve it with beets or green beans. This is so easy to make and it is guaranteed to fill lots of hungry tummies!

Being Protective…

So I am teaching the boys to protect Kaitlyn, and that it is there job to watch out for her where ever we go. We had a whole long talk about it, and my middle child Chandler said ” If anyone tries to touch or hurt her I will whip there sorry butts” Don’t ask me where he heard that….cause I don’t know, but I am thankful he takes it seriously. IT was so cute and sweet.

So today I am supposed to be cleaning and working on my laundry…am I doing that….No….do I feel like doing that….No…I am officially giving myself the day off…to just do stuff that I feel like doing…..like my crafts…play with the kids…write emails…read blogs…eat….you know…all the fun stuff. Now, that does mean tomorrow I will have to kick it in high gear. Oh well, we all need a day off every once in a while.

Last night I worked on my friend Joys baby gift some more. I am so excited about it. I wish I could post some pictures but she reads my blog sometimes and I don’t want her to see it. It is so cool. All hand made, no pattern. And if I feel so motivated once done I will make Kaitlyn one and maybe one of my other friends Michelle who is getting ready to have a baby. My mom made me one when I was one. And I still have it. OOOOHHHH I am so excited. Okay i think I will work on that for while, I really want to finish it up in the next week. Don’t you want to know what it is….

And finally wouldnt it be fun to be walking down the street or be in walmart and your phone rings and you pull out this and answer!!!! So funny! I want one of those Tony! :)

Fudgy Carmel Brownies

in My Kitchen, My Thoughts

So I wanted to try out some Weight Watchers desserts, since I am supposed to be on this diet. For the most part I love the weight watchers meals from this cook book. And see the brownies on the front. They looked so gooey and yummy, and oh,I just wanted them right then and there…
Brownies

So I baked them, followed all the directions, and thought I was going to be able to sit down with my honey and a big glass of milk and enjoy these babies…. NO….they did not turn out like the cover. I am convinced they left out an ingredient on purpose! MINE DO NOT LOOK LIKE THE FRONT COVER! So needless to say I will not be making them again, nor will I bore you with there recipe.
Dry Brownies

DO you see how dry mine are? How they are not gooey, and yummy! And to prove how dry they are, take a look at my honey’s face on the first bite. All he could say was “I need milk quick to wash these down!”

TONY, does not like the brownies

Where does my time go…

Wow, my time just seems to fly by. I went to Joanne fabric last night and bought 3 patterns. I have never sewed with a pattern. So this is a whole new experience for me. I got some easy summer dresses to make Kaitlyn and some really funky fabric. I hope they turn out. I [...]

Buy one package of Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix

Follow the instructions on the cookie mix, make sure you roll your balls in sugar before cooking. I cook mine for only 8 minutes. [...]
