I am Grateful For:

So I forgot to mention what I was grateful for in my post last night.  I am grateful for peanut butter chips.  I am especially grateful for the feeling of peace.

Picture Rope

Here is the picture rope with some of my favorite pictures.  I am eventually going to have to go all the way around my room to get all the pictures up that I like.

Here is a close up shot of the rope.  Amy took this picture of morel mushrooms.  I love this picture because it reminds me of fun family camping trips.  I decided to hang my pictures with silver clips.  I have seen other ropes with clothes pins to hang the pictures.  There are many ways to hang them.  I just used rope to string along the wall.  I have seen thread and fishing line.  You could use any type of string, yarn, rope. 

Breaded Ranch Chicken

So I wanted to share one of my most favorite recipes.

Ingredients:

3/4 c. cornflakes, crushed

3/4 c. Parmesan cheese, grated

1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix

8 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless [(2 lbs.)(I like to butterfly the chicken.)]

1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted

Directions:  In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflakes, Parmesan cheese and salad dressing mix.  Dip chicken in butter, then roll in cornflake mixture to coat.  Place in a greased 13x9x2 baking dish.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 45 min. or until chicken juices run clear.  If you would like to make a healthier version you could dip the chicken in egg whites or olive oil.

I am grateful for the days I have motivation and get things done.

A Quilt I Made

This quilt is smaller than a twin size quilt and bigger than a lap quilt.  I decided to make it for a friend, who over the many years, has done so much for me and this was the way I wanted to repay her.  It was fun making it.  I really like the color combination.  I quilted it by hand also.  (I didn't take a picture of the stitching before I gave it to my friend though.  I will have to remember that for the next time.)

I am grateful for good health.
