Easy Chicken Marinara

I browned two breaded chicken breasts and three breaded boneless, skinless thighs in a skillet with a tablespoon or so of olive oil.  Over medium heat, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

After the browning is complete, top each piece of chicken with your favorite marinara sauce (I used Prego).

 Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside

 Top with Mozzarella cheese and place back in the oven until the cheese melts ( just a couple of minutes).

Pictures!!!

Well, I really thought this week was going to end nicely because of the awesome weather, but it turns out we are under a winter storm watch, and it's snowing so hopefully spring will still come sooner! Where has February gone! Here are some pictures from this month.

We finger painted with Red and Pink Paint, babies loved touching it!

 

Then we made hand print hearts for their parents, I love hand prints but takes forever to do it!

 And lets not for get the Birthday Party we had celebrated! 

The deer we had in our yard, that was fun!

My Mom's Requested Birthday Dish

Cannot believe my mother is 57, although she doesn't look like it. Now I feel old...lol.

My mom requested that I made this side dish for her birthday dinner tonight. Since this goes really fast in our household I decided to make a double batch.

Broccoli Salad

 

• 2-3 bunches of broccoli, raw and cut into bite size pieces (not a lot of the stem)
• 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 small red onion, chopped into small pieces
• 1 cup raisins
• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons white vinegar

 Directions:

• In a large bowl, mix chopped raw broccoli, cooked bacon, chopped onion, raisins and sunflower seeds and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and white vinegar to make the dressing. Pour over the broccoli mixture and mix well.
• Refrigerate for a few hours so flavors mix.

Loaded Potato Dish

I love comfort food on cold winter nights so I decided to make it, endless to say it was gone that night!

2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

2 (3oz) bags real bacon bits

1 large (28 - 30oz) bag frozen hash brown potatoes - shredded kind

Our Vita Mix Smoothie maker is slowly dying on us, but we will use it still it dies. Thankfully I see that QVC has one!
