Teriyaki Chicken

Image
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

Weekend Project - Pimping your Cell Phone

Image
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.

Thirsty Thursday - Aug 30, 2012

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 the day
