Change of plans for dinner since we finally got temps above 50!!  Wahoo!  WE had the easiest but really good Garlic Chicken and I had everything for it at home already.  Here's how it goes....ONLY THREE INGREDIENTS

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts - pounded out flat and beat to hell with a chicken smasher hammer.
one can of chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced (I just used McCormick dried minced garlic)

put garlic and broth in big ziplock bag.  pound out the chicken and add it to the bag to marinate for 15 min.  Then Grill for 15 min turning often and basting each time you turn.   I actually added red pepper flakes to it while it was grilling, it was an added bonus since my guys like spices. Wallah - DONE! BAM!  so good :)

We had roasted carrots with it too - 400 degrees, 25 min.  Carrots, olive oil, salt, pepper, honey.  thats it.  I let it roast while I prepared the chicken and grilled it.  Both boys ate all of it along with two pieces of honey toast.

Ann, I make my meatloaf cupcakes w/ onion soup mix too - my boys love it!  We use ketchup as the "frosting" and I let them pick them up and eat it like they're cupcakes too.  Now, chick parm risotto, yes please - send me the recipe :)

I have to admit, I am blessed that my boys eat everything (except eggs!?)  Thats my next thing is to get them liking, eggs - I'm going to try this weekend....with chocolate chips as bribes - which is what seems to work most of the time :)  Paul and I eat 18+ eggs/week - it would be great if I can get the boys eating them too!  Healthy, cheap, delicious!

Alright, so I'm growing a lot of plants inside my house right now and JOHN has really grown fond of them.  He pets the leaves and sometimes I find piles of leaves he's pulled off.  Interesting kid.  Jaime never once would have thought about doing that.

Time to take my swollen ankle and get the boys in bed.  Take care, good night and MISS YOU!!
