Lemon Honey Turkey

Recipe number 2 is a success too! It is so nice to add new foods to our menu. I get sick of eating the same stuff over and over again.

Sorry there isn't a picture. Dinner time was a little hectic last night.


Lemon Honey Turkey

1/4 c honey
1/3 c lemon juice
1/2 tsp rosemary (I used parsley since I didn't have any rosemary)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 lb turkey breast fillets or tenderloins
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine honey, lemon juice, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. I heated the honey slightly to make it easier to mix together.

Put turkey into small baking dish and pour half the sauce over. Bake for 40-45 minutes occasionally basting with remaining sauce. Cook until turkey it done through.

Combine water and cornstarch until smooth. Pour sauce from baking dish into small saucepan and add cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil and boil for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Serve sauce alongside turkey.

Another yummy and healthy dinner!

Sun Chip Chicken

New recipe #1 for the week turned out really good. I found the recipe in a Pampered Chef 30 minute meal cookbook.

Sun Chip Chicken

1 lb chicken tenders or breasts cut into cubes about 1 1/2 " big
1 egg white
1 TBSP dry ranch dressing
5 oz (about 6 cups) sun chips (I used French Onion)
Pam

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray baking sheet with Pam.

Combine egg white and ranch dressing. I added a little water because it was pretty thick.

Crush Sun Chips in plastic bag. Make sure the crumbs are pretty small and uniform in size. It will make them stick better. From the picture you can see I didn't do that.

Coat chicken pieces in egg/dressing mix.

Add chicken in two batches to bag of Sun Chips and toss to coat. Place pieces on prepared baking sheet.

Once done you can spray tops with a little Pam to help them crunch up, but I didn't do that and they came out fine.

Bake for ~15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Yummy and healthy!

Sick

I finally broke down and went to the doctors yesterday. For me to do this I have to be sick!

Ends up I have double ear infections plus my ears are plugged full of wax. That explains why I can't hear anything. I am on antibiotics for 10 days and wax treatment for a week. Hopefully I will be feeling better soon.

I have to spend the next few days working on a last minute project for a baby shower. I am taking Colton to the doctor today. It was supposed to be a well check, but looks like it is going to be a sick visit. He still has the cold and hasn't gotten much better. Poor little guy!

Finally

I finally got a Colton smile on camera. It was a challenge, but he decided to cooperate yesterday. I think he just got sick of me sticking the camera in his face.

Everyone in this house is sick right now. It started with Cody who is mostly back to normal Then Cooper who is still coughing, but better. Now Colton, Jeremy, and I have it. I also have some kind of ear issue going on. I'm hoping it will get better soon, but I have a feeling I will be making a trip to the doctor. YUCK!
