Chicken with mushroom cream sauce

Yesterday I whipped up something Julia Child.  This one is not time consuming.

Take some cut up mushrooms and saute them in some oil.  While you are doing that brown your chicken in some oil in another pan until golden.  Take the chicken out and add some shallots and white wine.  I probably used about 2/3 c of wine.  I cooked that until the onions were soft.  Then I added about 1/2 of cream, chicken, and the mushrooms.  Put a lid on it and let it cook for about 10 minutes.  Make sure you spoon the cream on top to the chicken.  It is really good if you don't like mushrooms then just don't add them.  Thankfully both my kids love them but the other kid (hubby) doesn't. 

twins?

People always say how much my son looks like me...

Green Tea

Green tea who knew.  Well, I am sure a lot of people knew how good green tea is for you but I didn't.  After my second child my hormones were all crazy and still are.  Hormones out of whack cause this girl to have a broken out face.  I have tried EVERYTHING.  I have gone to the dermo a million times.  Nothing has worked until recently.  I have been drinking tea and water like crazy.  I drink it about 4 times a day.  My face has actually been sooo much better.  Don't believe me just google benefits of green tea. 

bored

I am very blessed to be a stay at home mom...HOWEVER sometimes I look out the window and wonder what it would be like if I was out there.  I watch my neighbors leave everyday for work and watch them come home from work.  I wonder what it would be like to have co-workers and go to co-worker events.  My husband has some events that we go to but I always feel out of the loop.  They all have their inside jokes.  I also wonder what it would be like to wear something other than jeans.  Don't get me wrong I love my life and would not trade it for anything but I wonder. 

Baked apple pudding

Every October since 10-22-05 I have made this baked apple pudding.  It is my little guys favorite.  I only make it once a year and that is the day that they have the Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin special.  My little guys curl up on the couch with a bowl of this stuff  and watch the special.  Oh and let me tell you I made my boys help me make it.  I want them to be able to cook.  My hubby is not much of a cook but you better believe I will be like Paula Dean with her boys.
