*CHICKEN PANZANELLA*

 You can click on the pictures to enlarge and read the recipes.  The recipes are courtesy of BETTY CROCKER :)

 Before putting in the oven.....

 After.....I also subbed Cheddar & Jack cheese instead of using the parm.I think Parmesan would be excellent, I just know my family would prefer the cheddar better :) It smelled amazing out of the oven.

I served it with rice and burned brussell sprouts ;)

Me and My Honey!!

I just love, love, love this picture :)

Can you believe we will be married 20 years this August!!!
The days are long, the years are fast.

I got out of my Betty Crocker,
"BIG BOOK OF WEEKNIGHTS RECIPE"
(awesome book)

This is a list of the major ingredients that I will need for the week.  I wrote them all out to make a clear plan for myself :)
Also, I printed out a NO NUT pesto sauce for the one pasta dish I will be making....

VANILLA

My vanilla collection from Bath and Body. If you have known for any considerable time, you know my go to scent is VANILLA.  I switch it up a lot, and I will share my other scents in posts to come.... but this is what I am using today. I layer them, to get a nice scent throughout the day. That is the key, “layering”
