OCD

Is it too early to diagnose this one with OCD?





For fun I like to move one of them over about a centimeter and watch her head explode. I know, I'm a mean mother.

Chicken Roll-Ups

This is my try at a recipe post. Saturday my dear husband requested I make Chicken Roll-ups. He usually does this during sporting events and Saturday was the NFL Draft. I decided to document it so the 3 people who read my blog could try to make them theirselves some day and enjoy this tasty treat.

It is very simple. I use a package of chicken breasts, 2 packages of bacon, 1 jar of jalapeno peppers, and some lemon pepper. That is it. They are heaven.



You cut the chicken breasts up into small chunks and set them aside. I like to pour out some of the juice and the slices into the same bowl so the chicken soaks up some of the juice.


Slice the bacon in half and use one slice of bacon per roll up.

Place one piece of chicken on the end of the bacon.


Then add a pepper slice.


Then another piece of chicken.


Then - as the name implies - roll them up.


Place them on a cookie sheet.


Sprinkle lemon pepper over them.


Then bake at 350-375 for about 45 minutes, turning them half way through the cooking process.

Here is the finished product.


These were originally made by my mother on the grill. When grilling them you need to secure them with two toothpicks and she uses beer to pour on them to keep the flames down I guess. I'm not a grill master and I just eat them when she cooks them. I find the ones baked taste just as good.

Jealous much?

Kaylen is very nice to her sister but still wants to have whatever Laney has. I didn't get a picture of it but she did actually crawl up and get inside the exersaucer after I took Laney out.

Laney's play mat is a magnet for her. If Laney is on it, she has to get on it. It is like catnip.

The Exersaucer

I got this exersaucer for Kaylen when she was 5 months old. At that time we had to put the OKC phonebook under her feet so she could reach. It is hard to tell from the pictures but Laney can touch. She just curls her feet up under her.

This is Kaylen at 5 months:


This is Laney at 3 months.
