Easy Seasoned Chicken

I’d stocked up on organic chicken last time I saw it on sale. I had some in the frig to use last week & needed a quick, easy week night recipe. After searching online, I settled for this one.

Three ingredients y’all:
chicken breasts, I used boneless, skinless
EVOO
Lawry’s seasoning {any seasoning salt would work}

Pat dry the chicken with a paper towel. Using a basting brush, brush EVOO onto chicken. The original recipe said about 1/4 c EVOO for a pound of chicken. I found I didn’t need that much & next time I won’t brush on quite as much as I did {see photos that oil pooled in dish}. Maybe start with 1/8 & pour more into your measuring cup/bowl if needed.

So easy even a Suz could do it!

After brushing, sprinkle seasoning salt on both sides of the chicken breast before placing it in a baking dish.

I baked the chicken for 30-40 minutes on 350. If you use skin-on &/or bone-in chicken, bake another 15 minutes.

So yummy in my tummy!

I served it with sweet snap peas & sweet potato fries left over uneaten from my take out the night before. The chicken came out so delicious that my picky-eater husband is asking for me to make it again tonight!

Busy Fall Saturday

Saturday morning, I ran around getting ready for the second home NCSU game as well as a friend’s bridal shower. Strangely, fall arrived very early & the high for Saturday was a chilly & misty 62. Instead of my planned outfit {black dress & red accessories}, I ended up wearing jeans {thanks Lee for sending them to me} & a red long sleeve light sweater.

Rhiannon’s shower was held at her mom’s house about 45 minutes away. It was a beautiful house with fun pink decorations & filled with family & friends all there to celebrate.

Congrats Rhiannon!

We played BRIDE bingo while Rhiannon opened gifts. We left to head to the game before she finished opening all the gifts, but her family & friends gave her some fun things!

Gifts Galore!

Kelly & I arrived at the newlyweds Jessica & Micheal’s tailgate. Jessica & Michael courageously got married during hurricane Irene then missed the first NCSU home game while they were unwinding in St Lucia. It was great to hear their stories & catch up with them on the truck tailgate.

Tailgating fun even in the rain.

After a few beers, a fleece & rain jacket slipped on, & munching on fruit, dips, & cupcakes, we barely noticed the rain & cold! We had a great time together & it was made even better that NCSU beat S Alabama 35-13.

Great crowd & game at CFS

Have you YoCrunch’d? {giveaway}

My typical work day lunch includes sandwich, chips or crackers & some sweet. Sometimes the sweet is dried mangoes, cookies if I’d made some over the weekend, or yogurt if we have it &/or I’m feeling healthy. Yogurt also works well because I don’t feel guilty about snacking on it at that 10:30/11am time that I find I’m hungry before my 1230p lunch time.

So when Miranda & I stumbled upon the YoCrunch booth at BlogHer, I was interested to try something new. I feel like I’d maybe heard of YoCrunch or seen it at my local store. But like DWB, until BlogHer, I’d never tried it.

Thanks to a couple YoCrunch coupons, I brought home the Strawberry parfaits for free then again a week later for a discount. It was one of the only things I wanted post-dilation doctor appointment. At less than 200 calories, it’s a great afternoon weekend snack or breakfast or dessert.

I was thrilled a couple of weeks ago when I heard from a representative from YoCrunch & even more excited when he offered for me to share free yogurt with my readers!

YoCrunch Love

What’s up for grabs? FIVE coupons for a FREE YoCrunch four packs. I’m sharing the love so there will be not one but FIVE winners! My household loves the strawberry kind so much we haven’t branched out, but you can.

Just leave me a comment about your current favorite yogurt/snack.

For an extra entry, like @suzstreats and @YoCrunch & tweet something like “Love yogurt? Wanna try #YoCrunch for free? Enter to win a #giveaway from @suzstreats & @YoCrunch http://tinyurl.com/3lbyyly”

I will close this giveaway next Monday Sept 26th at midnight, pick the FIVE winners with random.org, & email the lucky ducks for their address at that time. If no reply within 48 hours, I’ll pick someone else. You can check to see that your favorite grocery store carries them at the YoCrunch store locator {there’s $1 off 2 at the site too}. Good luck!

YoCrunch provided me with a sample & coupons when I met them at BlogHer & another coupon for this review. The opinions written here are all mine & not influenced by their gift of coupons.

DWB Pancakes

I came home from BlogHer with a stack of coupons for some products I already used & loved as well as some new ones. One of the products I was most excited to try was De Wafelbakkers frozen pancakes. I’d sampled them at their breakfast on Saturday morning & received a cute reusable bag, T-shirt & coupons then.

We are breakfast people. Every morning & sometimes we even do breakfast for dinner. Typically it’s cold cereal or fruit as I run out the door during the work week. But with DWB pancakes, after a quick 1:15 in the microwave, you’re enjoying delicious blueberry pancakes! Be careful they come out HOT & can get tough if you overcook. But in our microwave, a minute 15 seconds is just right for pancake yumminess.

Here’s straight-out-of-cell photos from Monday morning as I was running late to head to Edenton. But still had time to make pancakes for me & husband. Yay! I like mine spread out with syrup. He’s a stacked with butter guy. What’s your breakfast/pancake style?

DWB provide me with the original pancake coupon as a result of BlogHer. As a result of this post, I’m hoping to get a few more coupons {& $250 if I’m their favorite review post}. What’s in it for you? Your own , & if I’m chosen, one commenter gets $$$ for leaving me breakfast comment love. My opinions were not influenced by their generosity & are my own honest thoughts.
