I promised a menu and list and that I am working dilligently on! My meal tonight though was take out since Wednesday is the day my children go with their father. The dogs and I shared Arby's since it is right down the road. Wally and George simply adore curly fries...actually they adore any and everything!LOL
New facebook page is set up and the giveaway is under way until midnight! Now to find the time to make more jewels!!! I did find some networking facebook pages with what they call a Ladder in which everyone likes each other's pages and shares! Wow...newbies all supporting each other! But, as with everything else, nothing can be so simple! Several of us liked and shared on 67 pages only to get 4 likes on our pages. All I can say is that the sponsor page and I know that I did my part!! Visit: @Simply Adorned on facebook!
Living Simply Tip of the Day: As long as I do my part to the best of my ablility in all that I do, the benefits will be forthcoming...not always immediately...but they will come!
I am actually very thankful for those 4 extra likes with hopefully more to come!
Meal Idea #1: This was actually Tuesday night but can be yours tonight.
CHICKEN PARMESEAN ~~THE EASY WAY:
Boneless and skinless chicken breast (I use the split breasts)
1 jar marinara sauce
Italian seasoning (optional)
Mozzerella cheese (shredded)~~or can use slices of packaged or fresh
I box linguine or fettucinie pasta
1-Thaw chicken and place in cooking sprayed casserole dish.
2-Pour marinara (spaghetti sauce) liberally over each chicken breast.
3-Sprinkle the top of each with italian seasoning.
4-Bake at 350 until tender. I bake uncovered until almost done.
5-When almost done, put mozzerella cheese on each breast liberally.
6-Tent with foil and finish cooking
As chicken finishes:
1-Boil pasta in salted water with splash of olive oil
2-Drain
Serve chicken with sauce over pasta. Serve with a good lightly dressed green salad and french bread or my favorite, foccacia. You can even pour a little olive oil on salad plate and sprinkle with italian seasoning and fresh ground black pepper in which to dip the bread.
Dessert:
Heat a cup or two of leftover coffee from morning in microwave. It does not have to be scalding. In coffee mugs, place 1-2 scoops of chocolate or coffee ice cream. Pour coffee over ice cream (it won't take very much). Squirt whipped cream over the top and you will love it!!!!!!! My kids go bonkers over this!
I make this dessert because my daughter adores coffee ice cream and they love frappes and cappucinos! So I made this up when they had spend the night company one night!
This menu takes almost no prep time and approx 45 min to cook! There is not much to it! I love to create out of what I have on hand!
Enjoy~
