Life as an Aced

Chinese Food is something that we crave at least once a week. This week we were wanting Teriyaki Chicken and I totally forgot to pick up the Teriyaki Sauce. Thankfully I found this easy recipe on Food.com and thanks to the spice rack we got at the wedding I had all the ingredients on hand!! The original recipe has you cook the sauce on the stove then pour it over cooked chicken - - rather than doing that I used it as a marinade and then cooked the chicken in the sauce Homemade Teriyaki Chicken Ingredients -1/4 cup soy sauce -1 cup water -1/2 teaspoon ground ginger -1/4 teaspoon garlic powder -5 tablespoons packed brown sugar -2 tablespoon honey -2 tablespoons cornstarch -2 Frozen Chicken Breast Directions 1) Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl 2) Place Frozen Chicken Breasts in the Marinade cover with foil and let sit for at least 4 hours 3) Pour Chicken and sauce into a greased baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes

I have been known to use nail polish and more things then just my nails and this weekend I did just that!!! Recently Eddie upgraded our phones to Samsung Galaxy S3's. We both got our phones in white and while at first this wasn't a problem lately we haven't really known who's is who's. Neither of us like having cases on our phones so I did the obvious (or obvious to me) I painted my battery plate :) Here is what the phone looked like before: here is what it looks like now:  If you have never painted anything other than your nails with nail polish before give it a try . . . it is one of the simpler paints to work with, everyone has it laying around, and best part is that it comes out shiny and glossy with very little effort.

Hey Ya'll Thirsty Thursday is something that I want to start putting up each week - whether it is alcoholic or just some cool new drink we have found the plan is to get you a new drink each week This week for you we have 2 drinks to start you off DRINK 1 S'more Russian   1 part Three Olives S'mores Vodka 2 parts Milk (we used non-fat)   REVIEW/NOTES: The S'mores Vodka has more of a nutty taste than you would think but is actually really good. If you aren't used to the vodka taste try a more fatty milk (2% or whole) and that should help but definitely a must try if you can find the vodka     DRINK 2 Jillian Micheal's Detox Water   60 oz of water 1 bag of dandelion root tea 1 Tablespoon Cranberry Juice 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice   REVIEW/NOTES: This water is suppose to be used to jump start a diet and help you loose some water weight. After mixing all the ingredients together you drink the whole pitcher throughout th...
