Chicken with Herbes de Provence

-
Look what we had for dinner last night.....

Cell phone picture... :)

It was soooo good! We just put a little olive oil on the chicken and then covered it with Herbes de Provence.  Adam said the seasoning reminded him of Italian seasoning, which makes sense because Italy is right there next to Provence.  When I toured le Palais de Papes in Avignon, I learned that for a little parts of the south of France were part of the Roman Empire (hence the Italian influence).  Of course, I don't remember the specific dates or anything, but I thought it was cool!! :)



P.S. I've discovered the beauty of scheduled posts!! :) I've know they existed, just never really taken advantage of them.  I'm lovin' it because this way, on days when I don't have much to do, I can write a few posts and let them upload over a span of a few days.  Aaanndddd....on days I'm busy I don't have to feel like I'm neglecting uploading sewing and cooking posts. :)  Anywho, that's all for now!

    Mmmm, have I ever mentioned that I LOVE chicken? If I have my way, I'd eat it every night, but I only have about 4 good chicken recipes. So I'm going to have to try this sometime!

    And I just started the post scheduling when we moved here- it's hard to post at 7:00 EST when it's 5:00 AM here! - but now I've just gotten addicted to it :]

    Oh it is so good and so easy Mandy! The 99 cents spices + the always pretty inexpensive chicken + frozen veggies the husband seasoned and cooked = pretty cheap meal! :) :)

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
