Make this Parmesan Crusted Chicken recipe. Don't ask questions. Just follow the simple directions and make it. It is very tasty.

I was even the one who cooked the meal - the entire meal! Now if I can make something it must be fool proof.

I was so Betty Homemaker on Sunday. I also made turkey sausage and mushroom quiche for brunch! I can't find the quiche recipe online now, but I will have to post it because it too was fool proof and tasty.

Kelli's Recipe Notes: Nothing in our house is the full fat version. I used reduced fat mayo and it was delicious. Do not add ANY salt - maybe change out the garlic salt for garlic powder. I also didn't have fresh herbs and I didn't know about the frozen herbs.

To this!


I love it! It's totally my/our style -- of course my style but he tells me he likes it! I'm trying to make our home our home. Of course there are some definite rules to follow, but I want to live in a space that is us. Sometimes its colorful and vibrant and sometimes its calm and simple.

Yesterday I decided it was time to put up some curtains in our kitchen/dining area. We love the openness of the new patio door, but sometimes the sun is a little bright and the night is a little dark. Until yesterday I was undecided what to do with the space. But then my inner arsty-fartsy-crafty-macaroni-gluer (a quote from a former Project Runway designer) took over and voila we had curtains!

It was so much fun. I am so happy it turned out. If interested, this is where I learned all about "mis-treatments". No sewing or gluing was required for my little project. I can't wait to do this in our master bedroom!

PS - Sorry for the bad pictures. I had limited time -- I had already subjected Dylan to the fabric store and I wanted his help on future projects!
