My Paleo meal attempt

I didnt want to eat plain chicken fo dinner last night so I decide to make my own concoction for a chicken dinner. I chopped up some onions, tomatoes, and zucchini tossedit on the seasoned chicken and baked for 40 min. I just kept thinking, "Gosh, I hope this turns out ok."

Well it did just that. It turned out ok. Nothing spectacular but definitely not bad. The chicken still tasted plain but the veggies were good with it. I think next time I need to marinate and add some more veggies.
Lesson learned: I'm no Emeril but there is no harm in trying to be...unless it is undercooked, overcooked or tastes terrible.

Recipe:
1 lb. Chicken breasts
1/2 onion cubed
1 zucchini sliced with skin
1 roma tomato
Preheat oven to 375
Season chicken (I used pepper, garlic powder, basil)
Put on baking pan with extra virgin olive oil and throw veggies on top
Bake for 40 min or until chicken is done.

Other things I am going to add next time...red peppers, broccoli, some cayenne pepper, and maybe some red onion instead of white.)
So there you have it and here's a pic to go along with it.

Spring and Spring Break!

Spring is here and so is spring break! I love this time of year! So spring break is this week and I have a million things to do during my 5 day break. One of which is to relax and enjoy my time away from work. So on the agenda, cleaning the basement, repainting a cabinet for the bathroom, making some bows, being crafty, finishing Always Looking Up by Michael J. Fox, taking Gracie to the park, zoo, and P.E. 101, visiting people, and working on finishing the bathroom.

So far we have gone to the park, P.E. 101, visited grandparents, new babies, and gone to plenty of stores. I have been reading my book, made a spring wreath, almost finished repainting the cabinet (need 1 final coat of yellow then touch up the white) and as far as the bathroom goes...we hired a guy to tear out the ceiling and dry wall.

Things are coming along and I'm knocking things off my list. For a list maker like me, it feels great to scratch things off and then rewrite it so it looks nice again.
Spring is definitey a time for renewal and rejuvenation. I am enjoying this spring break because once I get back to school, I'll be praying for summer break!
Here are picsfrom my "being creative" stint last night. Happy with the outcome!
