MUSIC
The other day for breakfast we had a baked french toast. It was so yummy and very sticky. Kayden ran across the living room with his hands out in to my chair with the pile of clean laundry (doesn't everyone have a laundry monster).
Shawn got up and was talking to him telling him he had done 3 things wrong. He asked him what was going through his head.
With out a second thought Kayden answered his dad and said MUSIC.
Well at least he was honest

MPM week 5
Last week was a yummy week - I got off track at the end of the week but sometimes ya need to be defiant.
A review from last week and a couple of recipes.
Sweet and Sour Pork
1 pound pork - cut into chunks
1 cup Bisquick
1 egg beaten
2 tablespoon corn starch
1/4 cup brown sugar
20 oz can chunk pineapple drained (save juice)
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons catsup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Dip pork chunks in egg and then coat in Bisquick. Deep fry till golden brown.
Add pineapple juice and enough water to make 1 2/3 cup liquid
In a large pan combine the corn starch, brown sugar and pineapple/water mixture stir together, Mix in the vinegar,catsup and soy sauce, whisk together. It will start to change to a darker brown, Add in pineapple.
Serve over rice.
This was a recipe my mom made growing up. I loved it and have continued to make it for my little family.
Spicy Chicken Tacos.
3 chicken breast
4 chicken tomato bullion cube
a couple dashes tapatio - depends on how spicy you like it.
a couple dashes chili oil - once again depends on how spicy you like it.
Fill a large pot with water, Add in chicken breast and 3 bullion cubes, tapatio and chili oil. Cook until chicken done. Chop each chicken breast into small chunks and put back in pot and cook a little longer (about 5 mins) Drain all the cooking liquid. in a fry pan add a little veggie oil, 1 bullion cube and a couple more dashes of tapatio and chili oil. Fry for about 5 mins.
Serve on warm corn tortillas with your favorite taco topping. We enjoy ours with - ranch or sour cream, cheese, tomatoes and avocado.
I got this recipe from a friend who was dating a Mexican guy. She made these for him all the time. I love them. So do the people I make them for. You got to try them.

Hookie
I think I have that word right.
Kayden woke up late this morning, I bet if I had not turned his light on he would of slept a little longer.
I am usually pretty hard on him about going to school everyday. But today I thought I would be nice and he could spend all day with mom.
So we are just gonna have a nice relaxing mommy and son day.
We got up and made big breakfast as he calls it. He wanted egg, bacon and toast but I did not have any bacon in fridge. So he settled on eggs fried in bacon grease and toast. He fried his egg and put down his toast and helped me with mine as well.
After big breakfast we are gonna go to walmart and then we are gonna get dad some lunch, He needs a lite one today cause he has a PT test this afternoon.
After lunch I think we will make cookies together. I love Mommy and Me time.
