What is for Dinner?

One problem I come across is what is for dinner.  It was so easy living at home and my dad would make dinner and I wouldn't have to plan.  Now, it is up to me and my husband to plan what we need from the store and what we are going to make.  I really miss not have to worry about it.

Last night we decided to make chicken teriyaki over rice and let me tell you, it was delicious.  It was so good that it will make it to one of our go to lists.  Something to make when we aren't sure what to make. 

So here is what you need if you want to try this easy recipe.  It will talk about 25 to 30 minutes from start to finish.

A pound of chicken (I like to use the chicken tenders)

Broccoli (Microwavable is easiest)

Rice

and Stir Fry sauce

   

 First, wash and cut up the chicken.  Put into skillet with butter on high.  

Cook chicken until brown. (While cooking the chicken put your broccoli in the microwave so it is ready to be added to the chicken and start to boil water for rice)

 

Once chicken is brown and while the broccoli is finishing up,  add a half cup of stir fry sauce.

Now the water is boiling for the rice.  Pour your rice into water and set aside according to the instructions on box.

Add broccoli to chicken and sauce.  Lower the heat to medium.  Mix well.

Now your rice is ready!

Grab a bowl, pour rice and top with chicken and broccoli.

Sit down and enjoy!

Have you tried anything new?  Or have a good go to meal?

I would love to try something new!

This Year: Family and Friends

HER

 

This year I plan to make more time for family and friends. I plan to take more opportunities to spend time with everyone I can.  I want to make an effort to go to things when invited.  From parents and the husband to my niece and nephew, I plan on cherishing the time I can spend with them.

I don't want you all to think I don't spend time with family and friends because that is not then case.  I just want to make sure I take advantage of the time.

 

 

Parents:

I talk to my parents everyday. (More than once a day) I see them every weekend.  I can't go a day without them.  They truly are me best friends.  I just want to take the time out of my day to see how their days were.

 

Husband:

We are still new at this marriage thing and I just want to make sure we really enjoy our time together.  Life can get so busy sometimes that we get caught up in it, but I want to take time for us.  I don't want to miss a thing, it is now our life together and we are family.

 

Brother:

It isn't only my brother.  I have a wonderful sister-in-law, a sweet niece, and enjoyable nephew.  I plan to take time to see them more.  It is sometimes hard because with having two children they are always on the go.  I love to see them even if I am just helping to babysit in a pinch.  The time I spend with them means everything.  I am so lucky that they live so close to me.

 

 

It is hard growing up.  We all get so busy and wrapped up in our own worlds.  We used to be each other's worlds, but with age come responsibilities.  We have gone through everything and our friendships are what we count on to get us through. 

With growing up comes moving away.  A lot of my friends moved away from Baltimore for different jobs.  Every time people are home we always get together.

 

So with all that being said, I don't want to miss out on anything. 

 

 

Cherish your time.  Listen to everyone's stories.  Take pictures.  But remember to stop and take it all in every once and awhile.  We can never get this time back.

 

Enjoy every minute.

Bags, They Always Fit

HER

As I have stated before I am an accessory type of girl, you know they always fit!

 I especially love bags.  Bigger tote bags are my favorite because I tend to carry to much stuff with me.  From my Kate Spade planner to Band aids, I have it all.  And it is all organized if I do say so myself.  (I may have to do one of those in my bag posts and show you how I keep everything straight)

Anyway, one of my favorite go to bags is the famous Longchamp, Le Pliage.  These bags are workhorses.

One is never enough.  I have dragged these bags through it all.  

I have used these bags as school bags through college.  I have traveled to Hawaii and back with one.  And I use them as my everyday tote.  I believe that you can't go wrong with them.  If you are thinking about getting one, take the leap and you will not look back.

Now there is a downside.  Everyone has them.  You see yourself coming and going with these bags. 

This is a real picture.  I was out with some friends and when we were all heading out for the night we all went to get our bags and this is what happened.  There were at least 7 black Longchamps!

But surprisingly enough, this does not stop me from carrying these bags and something like that normally does.  I am such a fan of these little durable bags.

Do you have one?  Is it a favorite on your list too?

Happy Valentine's Day
