"I enjoy doing housework, ironing, washing, cooking, dishwashing. Whenever I get one of those questionnaires and they ask what is your profession, I always put down housewife. It's an admirable profession, why apologize for it. You aren't stupid because you're a housewife. When you're stirring the jam you can read Shakespeare." ~ Tasha Tudor

Honey Graham Cracker Chicken

I'm always looking for good chicken recipes since we plan to eventually have enough chickens to supply our meat in the freezer. Needless to say this recipe is beyond easy and very good. The chicken turned out super moist. We paired it with some mixed veggies (which ended up being just broccoli and cauliflower...Matthew ate all the carrots).



Honey Graham Cracker Chicken

Ingredients:
Honey Graham Crackers
Honey
Chicken Breast or Tenderloins


Directions:
1. Crush up the graham crackers into a large Ziploc baggie. I used about 6-7 whole crackers.

2. Take the chicken breast and smother it in the honey...I poured honey into a small bowl and just used my hands to scoop some out and slather on the chicken breast.

3. Place the honey covered chicken into the baggie of cracker crumbs and shake around. Then place on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Drizzle with extra honey.

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 425F.

Paper Plate Frog

My older sister bought this book for the boys, One Night in Frogtown, because well she loves frogs and the boys are her bugs. Anyway, this book comes with a CD that reads the story and sings the songs (which sound better than me actually reading them to the boys), but I put the CD on and we got to work on our next project...a paper plate frog. Pictures didn't get taken of them painting it green/red because well...yeah...two boys with paint brushes and only one adult supervising...not the best combo here.
 
Our book inspiration

Here is what it looks like
 
 
The boys had a blast and it's a project that they are able to play with. Time to find some more projects to tie in with their books and since it's warmer outside we can do the painting outside instead of my kitchen table.
