Baked Chicken Nuggets

The other day a friend of mine was telling me about these chicken nuggets she makes and how her kids love them. SO of course the foodie in me was intrigued.  She then told me I needed to check out the website SkinnyTaste.com.  WOW!! Amazing.  Totally worth checking out.  These nuggets were so easy to make and so DELICIOUS!! I can't wait to try out some other recipes of hers for this one is a total keeper!!

Baked Chicken Nuggets
from SkinnyTaste
16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
salt and pepper or seasoning salt to taste
1 Tablespoons olive oil
6 Tablespoons Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 Tablespoons panko
2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
 oil spray
*I doubled the recipe.

Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with oil spray.
Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.

Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then place  on the baking sheet.

 Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turnover then cook another  4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though.

HUGE hit!! The kids loved them and so did I!! Next time I am going to make more and freeze some.  That is if they last that long!!

SO EASY!! Dinner served!

Teacher Appreciation Week Gift 2013

Somehow this year I missed the Teacher Appreciation Week memo, but luckily finally caught and played catch up all week!!  I wanted something cute and different for the final day, because honestly my kids have awesome teachers!!  After thinking about it for a few days...This is what I came up with! It was quick, simple and I thought it turned out cute.

Nice play on words!! HAHA!!

SO here's what I used:

SoBe Drinks and Swedish Fish

Put the fish in a little plastic bag, attached the note and the fish to the drinks and voila..DONE!!

(Like my photo bomber!!)

Here's the tag.  You should be able to just right clip and copy and paste it into a document.

You can even play with the size.  I have it on a sheet of four, but it would not let me put it on here.  

Hope all the teachers get the appreciation that they deserve!!

Create on!!

BEST day of my life 

The girls!

 Not only do I love to be in the kitchen but I love fashion. I adore bright colors and animal prints. It is dangerous my addiction to clothes. :) My husband likes to tell me that I'm "high maintenance". I take it as a complete compliment. I like to take care of myself and there is nothing wrong with that!

I love to make blankets. This is my favorite!

My nails as of now!(cheetah and pink)

I love working out and trying to eat as healthy as possible (which sometimes is so hard to do). I work as a Dental Assistant in a community health office. Needless to say I am a neat freak and hand sanitize is my best friend.I love my job and love helping people. I feel very satisfied every day when I leave. I am working my husband through school as he finishes his degree in Business/Agronomy up at BYUI.

Zonkers

My daughter has been working on a science project comparing different brands of popcorn.  So needless to say we have an abundance of popcorn kernels in our house at the moment.  I will have to update you on her scientific findings!!  We were in need of a treat to go in lunches and I remember this amazing quick and easy recipe for Zonkers.  AKA... a type of white caramel popcorn.  Trust me it is DELICIOUS and ADDICTING. Best yet it takes only moments to make!!

Zonkers
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
large bowl of popped popcorn

Put all ingredient EXCEPT the baking soda in a large glass bowl.  Microwave for 3 minutes; stirring after each minute.  Remove and stir in the baking soda.  Put back in the microwave and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring again after the each minute. *Large bowl is important because it will foam and expand after adding the soda. (Trust me on this one..I failed this time and it ended up all over my microwave!!) Pour over large bowl of popcorn and stir to coat!

There you go..treats in a flash!!

Enjoy!

Margarita Chicken Fajitas

I apologize for the lack of posts lately.  Life has gotten a bit crazy and my luck with trying new things hasn't been real good lately and I only like to post the best ones here!!  Well I finally hit the JACKPOT with this recipe.  It was oh so DELICIOUS!! After making fajitas the family kept eating just the chicken because it had such an amazing flavor.  I think it could be used for many different dishes. Oh YUM!!

Margarita Chicken Fajitas
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used about 14 chicken tenders)
1 cup thawed frozen limeade concentrate
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 onion sliced
1-2 yellow or orange peppers, julienned
1 Tablespoon olive oil
 8-10 tortillas
shredded cheddar cheese
diced tomatoes
diced avocados
sour cream
salsa
lime wedges

Place chicken in a large resealable baggie.  Add the limeade concentrate, salt and pepper.  Seal bag and turn to coat.  Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

Remove chicken from the marinade and grill, broil, bake or pan fry until cooked through. *Make sure you grease what ever cooking surface you are using. Slice ore dice the chicken pieces.

Heat a skillet and add 1 Tablespoon olive oil saute onions and peppers until tender.  Season with a little salt and pepper.  Add some red pepper flakes if you like the heat!!

Layer the chicken, peppers and onions on your heated tortilla.

Add any other toppings you desire. 

Fold up and enjoy!!

Next time I am going to use the whole can of limeade an marinade extra chicken for the freezer or just for other dishes!!

DELICIOUS and HUGE hit with the entire family!!

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Who knows where the name of this delicious delight came from, perhaps it was from a child like my Karlie who yelled, "Whoopie" over the excitement of this treat!  Recently I was asked to help with food at a wedding reception.  These were perfect and I loved helping out with the food and hearing all the comments made about the cookies.  They were simple to make,so tasty and even better the next day.  So the trick is make them a day ahead of time!!

Chocolate Whoopie Pies
from my friend Liz
2 boxes Devils food cake mix (Pillsbury)
1 C. oil
4 eggs

Mix together and roll into a 1" ball.  Dough will feel greasy. Try to make the cookies as uniform as possible. 

Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Set them aside to cool.

Filling-
1- 8oz. softened cream cheese
1/4 C. softened butter
2 1/2 C. powdered sugar
1/2 T. vanilla

Beat all ingredients together until you have frosting consistency.  *You may need just a little more powdered sugar.

After the cookies are cooled, spread filling in the middle to make a sandwich.

I put the frosting on and my cute helper added the tops!

For sure a big hit!!

Enjoy!
