We had company last night, and I wanted to make the
potato spears with cilantro-lime mayo that mom and dad make - so good!
Then, I noticed it was linked to a recipe for
tortilla chicken legs that looked fun!
Well, I don't like putting crumbs over skin, so I decided to do pounded out chicken breasts.
Then, the reviews said it wasn't very flavorful, so I decided to go ahead and make
lemon chicken and use the tortilla crumb breading.
Also to boost the flavor, I heaped the cumin and chili powder, but also added oregano (since it was already in the potatoes), a little Columbia seasoning (essentially seasoning salt, but from the
Columbia restaurant mom and dad went to with us) (for the onion and garlic savoriness), cayenne for spice, and ground mustard, for tang. Just pinches of each. Well, it was SOOO good! So good, that I thought I would share. The cilantro lime mayo was great on the chicken too!
We had it with green beans and multigrain dinner bread, but it would have been awesome with jalapeno cornbread, too.
Finally, we topped it off with
red velvet cake a la Bakerella, which was very good! I'd never really had red velvet before, so it was a new experience that I wanted to try. And let me tell you, it looked exactly like the picture - I couldn't believe it! And it wasn't dry like most scratch cakes I've tried - nope, moist and small, even crumb, just like box cakes!
Much love to all of you!
Keep praying for us on the job search - we're getting some response, but still fairly early in the processes, and hoping one of the WA/OR opportunities will work out!

This is a project I started almost 4 years ago by cutting all the strips. Today, I cut those all up and put it together - this is just the top, but it's done! Now, pinning front, batting, and back, quilting, and binding is next. Then, to decide what to do with it :)
I can't really explain her expression here - what a goof. I think she was trying not to laugh at me, but not sure! lol
this is part of her new team (there are 7 girls this year). I LOVE the jerseys this time! Not that the blue was bad before, but wow, you can see these girls from 3 fields away! and look - this brand fits better so you can actually see part of Hailee's legs! lol (ya'll do know she's the blond on the left, don't you???)
Braden's first dog bite. We are dog-sitting for our friends (we do this at least 3 times/year and he wanted a hug. Well, she was sleeping and he scared her. This is how she reacted. He cried for a second then was over it. It was a welt for quite a while but it's already almost gone (this happened yesterday morning). And he still gives her hugs, but not when she's sleeping!
