Amy's Chicken

I had this amazing and very simple chicken last night at a friends house...and I loved it so much I had to make it tonight for me and Tyler!

Amy's Chicken

Ingredients:

Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)

Olive Oil

TJ's 21 Seasoning Salute

Jar of marinated artichoke hearts

Preheat oven to 350

On baking pan, drizzle the breasts with olive oil.

Then sprinkle the 21 seasoning salute...which has no salt btw ;) I put it on both sides.

Then drain the artichoke hearts and spoon them over the breasts.

Bake in oven until cooked through (about 20-30min depending on breast size)

Then I made a Tzatziki sauce to have along side it! Super easy and yummy.

Tzatziki Sauce

Ingredients:

8oz of plain yogurt (I used greek yogurt)

2 cucumbers peeled and diced

2 tablespoons olive oil (I used less)

1/2 lemon, juiced

salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill ( can substitute with dried dill or oregano)

3 cloves garlic, finely diced

The recipe calls to puree it all in a food processor, but I just chopped and stirred it together and loved it!
I served it alongside some quinoa and brown rice, and steamed broccoli!

Mr. and Mrs. Parton

Last weekend two of our best friends got married! It was very fun several days of events and celebrating their love and marriage! We couldn't be happier for them...and are excited for them to be another married couple alongside us in life!

Tyler and Ryan took Ryder and Crosby to Travel town last week.

The kids loved it and Ryan took these amazing pictures!

Mother's Day

So this was my second Mother's Day as a mommy. And I wanted nothing more then a relaxing day with my boys!

We started off at intelligentsia in Silverlake...

Then after a delicious breakfast and church...we picked up Lemonade for lunch! My all time

favorite!

The day wouldn't be complete without naps, and then a family walk...to Yogurtland of course!

I'm back...

So I have been saying for months that I would get back to my blog that I abandoned before Ryder was born...Ugh I suck.

But I'm finally back...I promise!

With my new iPad I am hoping it will be much easier to find the time to post.

So here goes...welcome back to my blog....new address, new name, new look! ;)

December 1st: The Day I was Induced!

Our baby was due Novemeber 25th, but decided he was nice and cozy inside mama! So we waited some more, and had no signs of him coming! My doctor knew he was going to be a big baby, so she wanted to induce. So December 1st was the date I was induced...and I was HUGE!!!

Of course my mom came down, and we decided we wanted to get a nice dinner before

heading to Cedars. So my mom, Tyler, Betsy, Stenn and I went to Osteria Mozza for our last dinner before we became parents forever!

After dinner we went home to grab our bags...and then we were off to the hospital to have our baby!
