heavy heart

my heart is heavy tonight. i'm 'homesick' for a place that isn't my home anymore. i miss my family and it broke my heart tonight when during bedtime prayers when M was reciting off his list of people he was thankful for, i realized that it contained none of my family back home in kentucky. no sissy, or steph, or michael, and i wonder if mammaw and pappaw repeated a couple of times was for both sets of grandparents or if he just was carried away. i wanna pretend that it was for the former.

WFMW: Quick supper

I have a recipe that I love to fix on nights that a)I'm too lazy to actually cook a large supper, b) time and/or energy is running low or c)you have company coming! Plus kids love to help!!

Ingredients:
boneless, skinnless chicken breasts
1 cup butter melted
1 bag of sour cream and onion potato chips (Pringles work well or the cheapest brand you can find tastes better than more pricey chips)


Prep by crushing potato chips (either in their original bag or place in a zippy bag to crush) while melting butter in microwave. You then simply place chicken in butter a piece at a time to coat then roll it in the crunched up chips and set in an ungreased baking dish. Pour any left over butter and chips over top. Place in the oven on 375 for about 45 minutes.


the chips seriously taste like mashed potatoes.... fix a veggie and you're good to go!

I've written quite a few posts that haven't made it past the 'draft' page. Hmm... must find time to sit down and acually start writing. Must do that soon!!!
