Verde Chicken

I enjoy cooking and love the challenge of taking dishes and making them healthier. So, when I came across this recipie that is quick and I knew I could tweak, I was really excited to try it out.

Meaghan's Verde Chicken

3 Large Chicken Breast cut into 7-8 chicken cutlets
2 Tablespons oil
1 cup of Salsa verde (which can be found in the Mexican food aisle of almost any grocery store)
1/4 cup of Fat-Free Sour Cream* (here's where I subsitutied : The recipie called for creme fraiche, which is a thick and smooth 'sour cream'. It is also ridiculously expensive! So I just used my good 'ole sour cream.)

1. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over Med-High heat. Add chicken and cook 3-4 mins per side.
2. Take chicken out and set aside.
3. Turn heat to Med-Low and add Salsa Verde. Cook about 3-4 mins(Just enough to reduce it some).
4. Remove pan from heat and stir in sour cream.
5. Add chicken back to pan and cover and simmer for 3 mins.
6. Add any Mexican side dishes you love(rice, black beans, guac, etc.). Enjoy! 

If you try it out, let me know what you think!

Christmas Craftiness

For Christmas this year I got some fabulous stuff that I love displaying in our home. One of my favorites is this wonderful book wreath I got from my sister.

I myself LOVE the wreath, but my favorite part is when people come over and love it too!

They always want to know where they can get one and I really enjoy referring them to Lauren. ;) If you like it also, you can visit Lauren's website and order one for yourself! http://hickoryhillinteriors.com/

Bobby Pin Discovery

So, last week I discovered that I have been putting bobby pins in the wrong way all this time! They should go in wavy side down, with the flat back out. It really does work better!! Don't believe me? Check out my new favorite blog : http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com/ by Kate. ;)
