Finally... a new recipe
Finally! I haven't forgotten about this blog.....just been really busy with back to school stuff! Everyone's back in school and trying to get back in a routine. We're back to the so mething every night of the week routine! Grace has been so busy we haven't gotten her hair trimmed.....got is scheduled though! (Yeah it's driving her mother CRAZIER than crazy! ) We've been eating basic stuff....soup, sandwiches and (gasp) cereal. The girls are now into Honey Nut Cheerios.....adios Rice Krispies....Coy makes a concoction of about 3 cereals.....yeah....they are all healthy cereals, too! We 're going through about 2 gallons of milk a week at this point. Thank goodness I am back at work and can stop by store on my way home! So I had some chicken breasts in the fridge that I needed to cook. I decided to try honey lime chicken. Don't say ew just yet! I found alot of recipes for it on the internet. Like a ton. I didn't want all the soy sauce, etc. so I cut out some of, ok most of the stuff. I baked the whole pan hoping they would good to take in my lunch. Then I took out my deli thin bread and made a sandwich at lunch....I though I had died and gone to heaven. It was sooo good! It soo good I made another sandwich (on rye bread) for supper!
Honey Lime Chicken
1/4 c honey
3 Tablespoons Lime juice
Mix together.
1 package chicken breat
Poke holes in chicken with a fork.
Pour half honey/lime mixture.
Bake 350 25 minutes. Turn chicken and pour remaining mixture over chicken. Bake another 20 minutes or until center is no longer pink.
* Some recipes called for marinating it in the mixture for a couple hours but I didn't have time!

Things I have heard and some blessings!
I know we have the garmin but we still need a map! Really, like her sweet voice can't find our way there????
I am never, ever living in Kansas...or Nebraska! I can understand this one.
Only 329 miles til our next turn!!!!!
Steak again???? I think they are secretly missing my cooking on this one!
JoGail, Be Quiet! Understandable !
I can't use my itouch. There's no wifi out here in the middle of nowhere. There's not even any houses!
Corn. More corn. and more corn. Saw it in 4 states!
Can we go back to the Battle of Little Big Horn this morning? This was not said by a female person in the family, by the way!
What do people do out here? I have no idea because there's not much out here that I can see. Lots of grassy plains and some rivers....
JoGail can you please play the quiet game?
I spy with my little eye......cornfields!!!!
Look there's another car on interstate with us! In Montana and Wyoming
We drove halfway through Oklahoma and just now saw another car with an Oklahoma license plate on it! Uhhh this was pretty much true!
Now to the blessings
The weatherr has been wodnerful. Absolutely wonderful.
Coy has driven and not gotten sleepy even though we haven't had alot of things to look at.
The girls has gotten along really good so far. JoGail has entertained herself and played her games. She has gotten mad when Grace won't play the magnetic tic tac toe game Missy made for her.
JoGail has made friend in every hotel pool she has swam in.
We have seen lots of corn. Which means farmers are having good crops.
We have been able to eat good food. We have not eaten at McDonald's yet!
The girls have tried new foods.
I have had my Bible study in the car every day. Been nice. No excuse not to have it.
I have seen Grace reading her Bible in the back seat. She is learning and trying.
I have apparently caught up on some much needed sleep!
The girls have been to a real, 1960's style motel. They loved it! Complete with a flyswatter hanging in the closet!
We have seen beautiful countryside and desolate highways!
We saw the biggest dandelions we have ever seen at Battle of the Little Big Horn!
Purple mountain flowers are beautiful!

2 quick recipes
2 quick recipes before I finish getting everything ready.
Creamy Lemon Poppyseed Dressing
1/2 cup sour cream (I used low fat)
3 Tablespoons sugar or splenda
Juice of 1 lemon (or 4 tablespoons lemon juice)
1/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
Mix all together and refrigerate. Really good on berries.
Sherry's Italian bread
1 loaf french bread cut in half lengthwise
1 small jar hellman's mayo
2 small cans olives drained and chopped
1/4 c chopped green onions
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350. Mix mayo, olives. cheese and green onions together. Spread on both halves of bread. Heat in oven about 40-45 mins.
I think mushrooms would also be good to chop and put in the mayo mixture, too. We had this at Mandie's birthday celebration at Sherry's yesterday and it was good !
