Work! Work ! Work!

But along the way during work programming these recipes were shared (My daughter will love these!)

 

The toddlers at the program absolutely loved these smoothies with the orange juice and strawberries!

TMy coworkers called for this reciepe for years. The first time we had this program was in 1994. This Southern Salad is easy and really good at BBQs or just as a sidedish for dinner!

Ok!  So this adventurous life continues! And I am cleaning to condense the household even more!


I found an email from a colleague dated 3/5/1996. Kinda old eh?   She had given me a Friendship Cake Starter.

Life

Well I am still cleaning stuff out!

Recently it seems that I live in two places at the same time.  Life has introduced me to a whole new cast of characters in my life.  I am amused, awed, and confused most of the time.  I am challenged and relearning so many things.

No Particular Order At All: Birthday Dinner Favorite! Mustard Chicken.

No Particular Order At All: Birthday Dinner Favorite! Mustard Chicken.

Birthday Dinner Favorite! Mustard Chicken.

Years ago when the kids were babies, I would watch soap operas and daytime tv. No. Really. I am not entirely proud of the waste of my time. It is a fact that garnered some gifts.  One of which came from GOOD MORNING LA with Regis Philbin and Sarah Purcell in the early1980s. The recipe they demonstrated one morning was MUSTARD CHICKEN. It is a family fav.

Mustard Chicken
Oven 425 degrees

Prepare a cookie sheet by wrapping it with heavy foil. (Make sure you use a cookie sheet that has a rim. The oils from the chicken will leak on to the bottom of your oven if you use a flat, rimless cookie sheet)

One boneless chicken breast per person
3/4-1 cup Frenches Mustard per two breasts
1 tsp paprika
salt and pepper
1 medium white or red onion cut coarsely

Peel your onions and run them under cold water.  Cut them coarsely on a cutting board and set them aside. Beat the chicken breast flat. Salt and pepper each lightly.  In a medium bowl put in the mustard and paprika and mix well. Next mix in the onion and add more mustard if the mix needs a bit more moisture.

Place them chicken breast on a flat surface and fill with moisture and roll up like a jelly roll.  Place a couple of long toothpicks or skewers so that the roll doesn't come undone while baking.  Then place it on the foiled cookie sheet.  Continue with each chicken breast until they are all done. Pop them in the oven for 35-45 minutes.

I have also placed the chicken breasts in foil pouches and dropped them in the crockpot on low for 6 hours.

This is my daughter's favorite birthday meal.
