If you are looking for a good recipe that will spice up your chicken you should try this one! It's Garlic Cheddar Chicken. I made it last night and it was great! Chris said it was the best meal I've made him yet. Keep in mind he's used to box and frozen meals so anything from scratch is a real treat at our house! haha

You can find the recipe here: Garlic Cheddar Chicken

Disclaimer: I have absolutely no clue how fattening this dish is, but I'm sure it's pretty calorie packed! We used margerine instead of real butter and I did not use fresh parm and it was still delicious. It calls for a lot of shredded cheese and it seemed like a bit much when I mixed the breading up. I think you could totally reduce the shredded cheese amount and even use low fat cheese and still have a great flavor. I also used colby jack cheese instead of cheddar because that's what we had, so I think whatever cheese you prefer is fine. The key is the garlic butter! It keeps the chicken very moist and has a great flavor!

Bon apetit!

If you all have any recipes to share I would really appreciate it! I'm really trying to work on my domestic skills so I can keep my hubby well fed!

    hey Will and I just had something similar for the first time just the other day - I used olive oil, cubed the chicken, and just put garlic powder in the coating mix - I totally didn't measure anything though just put in some cheese and breadcrumbs. It was pretty tasty.

best honeymoon ever...

Chris is so wonderful! He planned a perfect honeymoon for us! We were so sad to see it end, but we have a lot of great pics up on Facebook if y'all are interested. Below is my favorite one because it just sums up the beauty and romance of French Polynesia! I would totally recommend this destination to anyone looking for a true tropical escape from reality! It was so nice not to be distracted by our cell phones and other technology! We actually got to focus on each other the whole time. We're sad it's over but excited to plan some more trips for just the two of us! We have a lot of traveling we want to do before we have kids, and this trip just reinforced how much we want to see God's beautiful earth!

In my usual style I have somehow injured my right foot. I have no clue how it happened. I got out of the car when I got home last night and it suddenly hurt to walk and started swelling up. I wasn't able to walk it off and it hurt all night so I went to the doc this morning and they ordered xrays and a tetanus shot. They think I have something called Morton's Neuroma which is where the nerves between your big toe and second toe get inflamed and walking just pulls the bones apart and stretches and irritates the nerves even more. They wrapped me in an ace bandage and sent me off for the xray and anti-inflammatories. I hobbled all over town and finally got to come home and put my foot up. It's starting to feel better tonight so hopefully I will get over this quickly.

I really need to get better fast because we leave for our honeymoon next Thursday and we have a ton of walking and hiking to do! We are just about all ready to go. We have a few last minute items to buy, but we are so ready to go! Each day we make more and more plans for what we're going to do in Tahiti and just get more excited. I'm glad I have lots to keep me busy at work and home otherwise I would be going crazy with anticipation.

Can't wait to share picures with you all! I've never been on a vacation on this scale or length so I'm pretty psyched! I'm glad Chris likes to travel and plan all these details! He's the best at planning trips! Makes my life much easier! I'm not really into the details and decisions part, i just like to show up and have fun! Well the shopping part has been fun! Beyond that I'm not so good at the planning. That's why Chris had to help with the wedding so much!

My weight loss has officially stalled out at 10 pounds for the time being, but that's better than the direction I was going before I started healthy trim! Beyond the weight loss, I find the energy I get from taking Healthy Trim to be well worth it. It's nice not to feel like I'm going to crash at 2pm and my employees have noticed I'm not as grumpy in the mornings as I used to be.

Well I hope you all are doing well. I just have one more night without Chris and then I get to see him every day for two weeks straight! Woo hoo!
