Busy Work


New Recipe #1 Flatout Pizza

I'd never had a flatout bread but my sister swears by them.  I tried one out as a pizza and it was delish and low points.  I'll be adding this into my weekly rotation.  Simple and good!  Totally satisfied my pizza craving.  

My 2nd recipe was in the crockpot.  Hawaiian Chicken from the sixsisters.com blog.  It's pretty good but next time I'd change it up.

Hawaiian Chicken
4-6 chicken breasts (frozen or thawed)
1/2 soy sauce
1/2 teriyaki sauce
1 can pineapple chunks, use only half the juice

put in the crock pot and cook until it's done.  I used 3 lg frozen chicken breasts on high for 3 hours, shredded in my Kitchen Aid and ta-da great dinner! Mine yielded 4 portions 

Next time I'll use all the juice, half the soy sauce sauce and leave out the pineapple (they just tasted like soy sauce).  It got a bit salty even though I used low sodium sauces.  I ate mine with a side of risotto, but I think on top of brown rice and uncooked pineapple it would be excellent.  Definitely a keeper, thanks Pinterest for a great find.

Today was pretty low key.  I watched BooBoo for a couple hours, came home and cooked and did laundry.  Cleaned up the clutter and tried another Pinterest idea for cleaning cookie sheets.  You make a paste with baking soda and peroxide.  My pan was pretty gross so after the first round and some steel wool progress was visible.  I've got another coating on and am going to leave it overnight.  I'm hoping the rest will come off.  It's a great pan, but I'd let too many things burn and now when I use it everything gets that char on it.  Here's hoping for more progress.

I should really go fold the laundry, vacuum, dust and mop.  Gross, but if I'm having a guest it all needs to be done.  I also need to do my roots and clean the shower, but those are for tomorrow.  I've decided I'm only working queues for the morning, then off to cash my check and some other errands, then project time until Ande gets here.  I really hope our boss lets us know about going to Lincoln next week or not.  I've got some planning and appts to take care of and I'm tired of putting them off.

I really really really need to find some motivation.  Right now I want to read magazines and keep watching I Love You Man, for like the 20th time.  Oh dilemmas.
