Good and Tasty Tuesday: Chicken with Lemon and Pepper



I am really beginning to enjoy the thinking ahead and planning for Good and Tasty Tuesday!  I would like to thank Stay at Home Babe for giving me the extra push to write on my blog regularly.  And as my husband pointed out I am a lot like her that is why I really love her blog!

So for today's recipe I have chosen a really simple and delicious meal.  It was given to me orally by one of my MIL best friends and a great customer, Teresa B.   Oh boy did it turn out just as juicy and yummy as she said it would.

Today...

my two year old ask for a bowl of peanut butter and I gave it to her.  I figured it was better than a bowl of ice cream!



Yay we are back from visiting the grandparents!  Good and Tasty Tuesday will return tomorrow stay tuned!

Good and Tasty Tuesday: Not so good



So for dinner tonight our main course was ice cream.  Just one of those days.  It happens and I try not to feel to guilty.  Aili got peanut butter and jelly so that is a step up...on white bread so a small step back down.  There were carrots on her plate and I am pretty sure she didn't touch them.  Any way I hope everyone else had a healthier Tuesday than we did!
I will leave you with my favorite recipe for Homemade Graham crackers and Goldfish crackers.  I love both of these recipes and the blog they came from Savory Seasonings.
I made the the goldfish with a sharp cheddar and it was amazing.  The grahams I have made several times and the first 3 times I forgot an ingredient each time and they still turned out wonderful.  The first time I left out the baking soda so they were a crisper cracker which went perfectly with the homemade marshmallows for smores. The second time I left out the salt which did not affect the end result.  And the third I forgot the sugar so it was subtle sweet wheaty cracker.  When I finally got my brain together made it with all the ingredients it quickly became a favorite of all in the house.

Good and Tasty Tuesday: Ooddles of Noodles

As the weather here has taken a turn towards summer my feelings toward cooking has change.  I am loving our new little grill and with it the ability to cook outside again.  But there are days that doing much more than boiling water is beyond my abilities.  So as the temps crept into the 90's today I brought out a favorite taught to us by my amazing sis in law, Katy.
Cold Somen Noodles!! This wonderfully simple meal is the best for days you just can't even think about eating something warm.  Until now it has just been a very simple meal of cold somen noodles (a Japanese wheat noodle) and Memmi sauce.  Today I decided to add to it so it fit better in the good (healthy) category.
As you can see I added broccoli and carrots!
