Honey Mustard Chicken

  Honey Mustard Chicken  Serves: 3-5     Prep Time: 5 minutes      Cook Time: 15-20 minutes Yesterday was one of those warm January days that makes you think that Spring has to be drawing near. To celebrate weather above the freezing point, I switched my dinner plans and had Dustin grill our chicken rather than bake it in the oven. We like to serve this chicken with some BBQ sauce for dipping, because we can't seem to have anything without a dip. :) Enjoy!  Ingredients:  3 lean chicken breasts  1/3 cup honey  1/2 cup dijon mustard  Salt & Pepper  Directions:  1. In a large gallon bag, place chicken breasts, followed by the dijon mustard, honey, and salt and pepper to taste.  2. Seal the bag and use your hands to massage the ingredients together.  3. Place bag in the fridge and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, and up to overnight.  4. Grill chicken evenly until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. 

Baby #2 is a....

     Baby #2 is a...     Over winter break Dustin, Sammy and I went to a little ultrasound boutique called "This Little Piggy" in Altoona. The woman owning the shop specializes in 3D/4D ultrasounds and early gender detection. Dustin and I went there during my pregnancy with Sammy twice: once to find our the gender and another time for a 3D/4D ultrasound. It's such a fun experience! We knew we wanted to go back with this pregnancy.  I have been feeling pretty good this pregnancy, aside from the typical pregnancy fatigue. I was really sick during my first pregnancy so I was certain that this baby had to be a different gender. I was definitely mistaken, because we are expecting.... ANOTHER BOY!  I was initially super shocked, but now I can't imagine a different outcome. I'm so excited for Sammy to have a brother to grow up with, and I'm looking forward to a future of washing sports uniforms. :) 

Friday Favorites 1-6-2023

          This Friday I'm linking up with some of my very favorite bloggers to share some of my Friday favorites from the week. It was the first week of a new year and filled with getting back into the swing of things. I'm looking forward to (hopefully) a restorative and restful weekend. Happy Friday, friends!  Roe Wellness    My first Friday Favorites is this new belly bundle from Roe Wellness. I religiously used a stretch mark cream during my pregnancy with Sammy and feel it really contributed to my skin recovering from being stretched so far. I was excited to find this belly serum and stretch mark cream from Roe Wellness. It is an all-natural product, and so so so moisturizing. The belly serum goes on super smoothly and the cream has the perfect amount of scent. It goes on smoothly and isn't greasy at all. I would totally recommend this product for any expecting mama.  Gloves in a Bottle  I spent the last day before returning to work in an organizing, purging, and cleani

Runzas

  Runzas Serves: 6-8         Prep Time: 1 hour Several years ago over Christmas my Aunt Becky visited us, and we tried to recreate a dish that her mom, my grandma, used to make. Nana called this dish a "runza."  It's a pastry filled with ground beef, cabbage, onions, and some seasonings. It's become a tradition in our house that I make this dish during the week that follows Christmas and New Years. It's a little more time consuming to make, but makes plenty of runzas to enjoy for several days, or they freeze very well. It's kind of like an upscale hot pocket. :) Ingredients:  2 boxes of Pillsbury Hot Rolls Mix, prepared as directed  1lb lean ground beef 1/4 cabbage, shredded finely 1 white onion, diced 1 clove minced garlic  1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce  1 tsp dijon mustard  Salt and Pepper to taste Directions:  1. Prepare your boxes of Pillsbury Hot Rolls Mix as directed according to the package, but leave rising in a bowl. Set aside to rise.  2. In a sk
