It will cost around $100 and will include breakfast and a surprise basket. The plan is for November 7th, I'm excited as I've never been before and it seems like a fun trip. I'm posting some specials we have going on, I saw the hamper today and it is beautiful!

Awesome Recipe

I made this last night it comes From For the Love of Cooking I found the recipe from Denise at Keeper Worthy Recipes tonight I'm trying Denise's Chicken Tenders in buttermilk yum!
Chicken,Mushrooms and Artichoke hearts with Cheese tortellini in a light lemon, butter sauce
Marinade:


2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
3-4 leaves of basil, chopped
zest of 1 lemon
salt and pepper
1 tbsp olive oil(for cooking )


Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and pound them, with a mallet, until 1/4 inch thick. Place chicken in ziploc bag and add 1 tbsp olive oil,garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix so the chicken is evenly coated. Let marinate for 1 hour. I let mine go for at least 4 hours.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large skillet, over med heat. Once hot, add chicken breast and cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes, or until juices run clear. You can also grill them
8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
1 cup frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 handful grape tomatoes
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 package cheeses tortellini, prepared per instructions
juice of 2 lemons- I only used one
2 tbsp butter
5-6 basil leaves, chopped
salt and pepper
I also added a bit of red onion


Cook tortellini according to package. While pasta is cooking, add mushrooms to skillet where you cooked chicken and add more oil, if needed.Saute 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add artichoke hearts, tomatoes and garlic. Stir frequently for 1 minute. Add tortellini, chicken, lemon juice, butter, basil and salt and pepper to taste. Warm through and serve.

When it rains it pours.....

Last night the dog child started getting sick. I'll spare you the details but trust me ickys! Anyways said child is now at the 24 hour vet clinic being treated for Pancreatitis. I don't know what she's gotten into just hoping she's better in the morning. After I get off work tonight I'm going to run by and check on her. And as my luck goes our boarders horse was lame yesterday. Well after my vet run this morning come to the barn and he's bleeding from lame leg. Grr! She's on vacation out of town and I'm trying to get him feeling better. But on a good note one of our close friends had her baby yesterday, he's only 4lbs 15oz but he's a cutie! Kinda makes me start wanting one lol.....

What a long time

Well it's been over a month and apparently I can't stick with my idea to post more often. So much has been going on here, I finished my spring semester and about to start summer classes. (Yipee Math and Microbiology!) This past week I have been off from work on "vacation" aka work on the house week. We have gotten so much done! My bedroom floors have been sanded and we are close to being able to poly the floors. My husband's firefighter co-workers were here yesterday. They got the electric in the kitchen done. We have about 2 more full workdays before the cabinets will be hung and we can get countertops! They really helped a bunch. Also last week I signed on as a consultant for Longaberger. I figure I can try to build it as a business as I'm a bit worried now about being laid off at work. Although it would help right now as school and work full time is beyond hectic.

What are you doing for Easter?

Well in my neck of the woods I will be working. It seems I work every holiday the joys of being in public service. The hubby is off so hopefully we can go to church and I can get him started working at home before I leave. Our goal for next week is to sand the floors in our upstairs. I had hoped to get someone to do it but I never have heard back from my contact. So away we will go and hopefully at least get it sanded. I am now aiming to have the house finished by the hubbys bday on May 25th. I'd love to have a cookout for it since it falls on Memorial Day this year. So keep your fingers crossed that I can get the ball rolling and find help with rewiring the house! Other than that no new news. Just registered for summer/fall classes so I'll continue to be slammed!

rantings

What a blah day.. yesterday was 75 degrees today snow expected what is up with the weather!! I'm getting ready to leave work got worked into the dentist for a broken tooth. My fingers are crossed that I won't have to get another root canal. I have gotten some good news for school will just have to take 1 math class. So my plans for the summer will be math and microbiology yippee! Other than that got my tickets Saturday am for NKOTB at Riverbend on June 26th! I am beyond hyped as I have wanted to see them since I was a little girl. At this point my mom has offered to go with me unless I find someone who really wants to go with me lol. Oh and still in no kitchen hell I wish I had a friend that was an electrician who could come help with the hell that is my house. :)
