NEw RECIPE!!!!! Almond Crusted

Chicken can be VERY boring to eat. So I try to spice it up with something new. This time I made a Maple Almond Chicken! AND it was HUSBAND approved. My husband loves food, but he can be picky about some things I make and especially when I try something new, BUT he loved it and when I told him that it was something I could do with Salmon, he got even more excited, he loves fish. So the next time I make this I will be making it with fish, instead of chicken.

It is easy to make, doesn't take long to prepare, and is easy clean up. Those 3 must haves in my book when I am in the chicken cooking!!!

 

 

Easy Maple Almond Chicken

 

 

4 Thin Sliced Chicken Breast
garlic powder
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
juice of 1/2 lemon (plus more to garnish)
1/2 cup almond meal

Preheat oven to 350.

Season Chicken on both sides with garlic powder.

Combine maple syrup and lemon juice in a shallow bowl. Put almond meal in a separate shallow bowl.

Dip Chicken in maple mixture, then dredge in almond meal. Place on a greased or foil or Silpat-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350.

If you want a crisper coating, finish off under the broiler until the almond coating just starts to brown.

 

This can also be done with Salmon

Newly Wed Tip #14 - Don't Take Your Spouse for Granted

Newly Wed Tip #14 - Don’t take your spouse for granted.

Its the holiday season and Christmas is 2 days away. This time of year turns out to be more stressful and a burden sometimes then it is meant to be. The holiday season is to be spent with loved ones and family. This time of year is o be a joyous and merry. Don't take this time of year for granted especially with the ones you want to spend it with. I always remind myself of the families that have lost someone round this time of year, or the people that have no one.

Yes married life can stink sometimes and you will have your ups and downs. WE DO!! This time of year has been stressful for us. We usually travel this time of year but with his leg and therapy we have to stay put. So the past few days have been stressful and full of arguments.


However I continue to tell myself that I love him and I continue to tell him that I love him, even when days I am so mad I don't want him to know I still do, I do!  Why? Because you never know when its the last time. I know this sounds dreary but I don't want to wake up one day and regret that I didn't say I love you to him. Life is too short!

So say it regularly. Tell your spouse when they’ve done a good job or something you appreciate." Let them know you noticed. Especially with guys, they need that acknowledgement, they need that praise, especially if we ant them to keep doing it, ladies. ;)

Also do little daily gestures, such as; rubbing your spouse’s shoulders, doing things to help out around the house [or] fixing your spouse's favorite meal. These little gestures help to boost relationship and your moods. And lets your other half know you TRUELY care!!

Also remember marriage isn't perfect and it doesn't just click. You must work at a marriage to have that happy and healthy relationship. Its not easy, but in the end, its worth it!
