Tomato and Bacon Chicken

Okay, Okay...It doesn't look the best but believe me! It really turned out Delicious!
Ever in a pinch and not know what to make for dinner?! It was like that for me last night...
So, I went to my fridge to see what was there...hmmm..not much. Well, I had 5 of those frozen chicken breast in a bag, two onions, 3 large cloves of garlic and a 16 oz. bottle of Kraft's tomato and bacon dressing and my trusty bottle of olive oil, and my trusty cast iron frying pans..that's it, that's all you need! Oh yeah...salt and pepper to taste.
1. Add Three tablespoons of olive oil to pans heat over medium high.

2. Add your frozen chicken breasts. You want to sear the breasts approx 3 to 4 min. on each side. This seals in the juices!

3. While the breasts are heating, coarsely chop your onions and garlic and divide between pans.
sprinkle your chicken on both sides with the salt and pepper.

4. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. and remove the pans from the burners... generously pour the Tomato and Bacon dressing over the chicken and place in the oven when it's preheated...bake till done...juices run clear, approx 15 to 20 mins. This is where you have to check on their 'doneness'

Viola! Dinner! It really turned out delicious and juicy. It is reminiscent of sweet and sour / BBQ flavor. And the best part, #2 and #3 really loved and that's a tough act 'cause those two are the family's resident food critics.
Let me know what ya think!
Catch ya later...I gotta fly!

A little bit of everything

Howdy! Happy Monday to you! This being the last week of Summer and all...did you know Autumn starts next weekend? Well, I thought I'd try 'beer can' chicken...one last BBQ dish before we put the grill away. Anyone ever try it? I know, I know this picture is scary! I put the chickens on...shut the lid and walked inside and #1 came in and said "Mom, are the chickens supposed to be black like that?"....Uhhh...I don't know?!!! This dish can't be that hard.
Yes... That's me trying to figure it out...LOL!!! Anyone ever do 'beer can' chicken? how'd it taste? and what am I missing? #1 said it was good, my hubby ate it with no complaints...#2 and #3 couldn't get passed the 'blackened' part...to me, it didn't have much flavor. But, I always love trying new dishes... and yes! I can cook things in other flavors beside 'charcoal' LOl!!hehehe...
This is my first 'skinny' charm...I'm at a loss for a name.. it's maybe 7/8" in width and 1" in length..
But, I love how it turned out! It will look so nice on a necklace with a small button or other shape. I need to rework the top...but hey, it's 'tres chic'

I'm trying to psych myself up for fall... so I made some fall/Halloween inspired items. I painted this ceramic pumpkin destined for the store.. Because of some of our values...our family doesn't go all out for Halloween but our kids do dress up and get to participate in a 'Harvest Hoot' put on by our church. Its fun...
No...I didn't make this cool crafty crow...but I think he's cute, and I will be putting him and 3 of his brothers in the store...nope, not the Etsy one...my new one...hehehe...
The next buckets I made today... I don't know, you get a crazy thought and you just gotta run with it... what do you guys think? Feathers to much? I might just trim them down a bit..
This one is over the top on feathers! LOL! but these buckets I think would look so cute holding candy... or what ever your heart desires in your little Halloween displays... My hubby came up with a great idea for next year, put reflective tape on larger ones and use them for 'trick or treating!'
Okay... lastly... I just had to put my 'two cents' in... 'Nuff said?! !!LOL!!!!!(no offense...I'm speaking to my family!!!lol)

Catch ya later!
