Spring is the best

It's that time of year again, Spring, Spring, Spring  (only you seven brides for seven brothers fans would get that reference)

I love the Spring!  I've been enjoying the weather and the beautiful sun that shines through my windows.  I've also enjoyed not wearing a jacket inside and cracking the windows open for some fresh air.  Sadly though I really don't have much to blog about so I thought I'd share some recipes I've tried recently.

Baked sweet and sour Chicken (served over rice)

Breading for chicken
3-4 chicken breasts
1 1/2 C cornstarch
3 beaten eggs
1/4 cup oil

Sauce
1 C sugar
4T ketchup
1/4 C vinegar
1/4 C apple cider vinegar
1T soy sauce
1t garlic salt

chop chicken into small chunks, dip in cornstarch then into the eggs, place in a pan with oil just so they lightly brown on the outside, then place on cookie sheet.
In a bowl mix the sauce ingredients, when mixed poor over chicken.

Bake 30min to 1 hour at 325  Don't over cook or the sugar tends to make it very hard.



Oreo truffles

1 pkg of oreos
4-6 oz cream cheese

in a food processor chop the oreos then add to softened cream cheese, once mixed well form into small quarter size balls, place on cookie sheet (with wax paper on it)  place in freezer for about 15 min.
Dip in white chocolate, or any chocolate really.  Keep refrigerated until serving.

It's Just Hair

If someone was to ask me something about my appearance I wish I could change, I'd say my hair.  My hair is just not the best in my opinion.  Its texture is course, it's think and uneven, the color is just not a color that I'd say is noticeable.  I'll be honest I struggle with my hair at least 5 days out of the 7.  The other day I was really struggling to make it look somewhat attractive.  I was huffing and puffing and just not in the best mood.  I may or may not have thrown a few bobby pins and told Daniel that I gave up.  Daniel came into the bathroom and decided to humor me a little and said he'd do my hair, so I let him attempt.  I think he finally came to the same conclusion as me that it is not easy to work with.  We got a good laugh at in and it calmed me down enough to be able to figure something out.  This experience got me to thinking that yes I don't like my hair but it is just hair.  There are plenty of women in this world that either don't have hair for an unexplained reason or the loss of hair by medicine to help them fight a life threatening disease.  I hope to appreciate the fact that I have hair, even more to appreciate the days when its a great hair day.  Thought I'd share some hair  ideas I want to try in the next week, if they work out I'll post the outcome.
