Tasty Garlic Parmesan Chicken

I want to thank my friend Angie for this awesome recipe from her blog. We really liked this for an easy dinner idea!

Ingredients:
4 boneless-skinless chicken breasts
1 c. Italian breadcrumbs
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt plus extra for tasting
Pepper (to taste)
1/4 c. fresh basil, minced
1/4 c. mayo

Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix basil and mayo in a small bowl.

Combine bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Lightly salt and pepper chicken to taste.

Pour basil & mayo over each piece of chicken.

Then dip each piece of chicken in the breadcrumb mixture and place in a baking dish.

Bake chicken uncovered for 20 minutes, or until bread crumbs are brown and chicken is cooked through. Enjoy!

And thank you to Angie for her awesome recipe : )

Healthy Mediterranean Tuna Salad

All of a sudden, I'm obsessed with tuna. I just discovered how yummy tuna melts can be and I feel like I've been missing out on delicious food for 27 years! So this is my first of many tuna recipes I plan to try...

SO simple and really good!

Say hello to my little friends

I'd like to introduce you to some of my new friends that I've been spending a LOT of time with lately.

The Dremel

The nail gun

The shop vac

I am proud to say that our crown molding and baseboards are finally up! A successful week! New family room pics are coming soon as the room is ALMOST done!

Something small can make you happy

One of the things that was really annoying with this new house was having to turn the outdoor lights on and off every day. We could be the rude neighbors that never use outdoor lights or the ones that keep them on all day and night because we're lazy...But I don't wanna be! So after 4 months of hitting that light switch twice a day, I'm DONE forever!

Our new timer is right next to the front door and I can smile every time I walk by and remember that I never have to touch it again!

Now we just need to change one of the lightbulbs outside...
