I made this & was in love with it! It's amazing to dip your french fries, or chicken into! Recipe for chicken is right below!


Honey Grilled Chicken
Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Directions

Preheat a grill for medium heat.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in honey and lemon juice. Reserve half for basting, and brush the other half onto the chicken breasts.
Lightly oil the grill grate, and place chicken on the grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning frequently. Baste often during the last 5 minutes. Chicken is done when the meat is firm, and juices run clear.




Along with the chicken, I made french fries, & sautéed apples! I just took about 3 tablespoons of butter, melted in a fry pan & threw the apples into the pan. Then I added about 2 Tablespoons of sugar & a few dashes of cinnamon & about a dash or two of nutmeg! Delish I tell you!! Delish!

The other day I made these amazing scones that were so simple to make & very yummy!


Cranberry Orange Glazed Wheat Scones



Makes 15 scones

Ingredients
2 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup butter (soften)
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (i.e. Craisins®)
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup orange juice ( I used fresh squeeze orange juice from oranges that I took off the zest from)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Mix in shortening until everything looks crumbly. Stir in the cranberries and orange zest. In a separate bowl, stir together the egg, milk and orange juice. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead briefly to get the dough to hold together. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter. Place scones 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops and bottoms are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Then after they baked, I took some fresh orange juice , added some sugar & boil it for about 5 mins & pour it over the scones! It sure was yummy!



Have a blessed Sunday,

A little bit of me~being real.

I'm trying to get my routine back in order & start back my weekly menu again! I'm the type of person that likes having routine, instead going around daily not knowing. Each morning I make my little family breakfast & have Bible time with Emma. Afterwards we like to "play school", I'll pull out a book & try to teach her new words, or simply let her do a craft such as coloring or painting.

I like to start my Monday by attacking the mountain pile of laundry & giving the house a good head-to-toe house cleaning! It's nice starting the week off with a clean house & all the laundry put away! Lately Emma has shown a great interest in helping me clean! I'll hand her the wet clothes from the washer & she will grab them from my hands & place them in the dryer! It sure is the cutest thing ever!

This past month my husband & I celebrated 3 years of marriage!

I still can't believe it has been that many! Sadly we forgot to bring the camera with us, so I have no pictures of our evening out. I would love one day soon to get pictures done of us & with Emma. I love snapping pictures whenever we go out, so we can remember those precious memories! I have tons of pictures that I need to sit down & put them into my scrapbooks!


Right now my latest craft I'm working on is curtains for my bedroom! It's been hard to find time to work on them, but I'm getting close to having them finished!




Well, I'm going to get going since my little lady woke up from her nap!!

Love never fails,
Sarah

Wrislet

Made this simple easy wrislet this morning! I'm making a matching iPhone case to go with it! Already tried it out today, while I was out & about & loved it!

What have you made lately?! I would love to hear about it!

What happens when you have..

....a pair of jeans that have a rip, that you can't fix or a piece of lace from some pass gift laying out?





I know you can't keep everything but I try to give a really good look at something before I throw it out. Those jeans weren't able to be fix, and my daughter love's purses, so I said " Hey why make a purse out of those jeans!

I encourage you to look around your house, there could always be something you can reuse & recycle!
