...the RNC, social media, radio talk shows and news are raising my blood pressure. I am taking it all in, but will not be blogging about politics.
Instead, I will be talking about my day yesterday. My day in food!
Yesterday began so sweetly and peacefully.
And pretty much continued!
I went to the gym with my daughter. Had a nice 30 minute walk on the treadmill. Also did some overhead presses.
Then we went to the grocery store and picked up a few items for dinner. I was determined to put all the applesauce I had made to good use. I did not do the whole sterilizing of mason jars and sealing of lids. I just made a big batch and put it in plastic containers in the fridge.
But we still have oodles of apples. And I do not want to see them go to waste.
So I made applesauce chicken in the crockpot yesterday. And it was a hit! And oh so easy!
I adapted a recipe from one of my favorite blogs, A Year of Slowcooking
(http://www.ayearofslowcooking.com/2008/09/crockpot-applesauce-chicken-recipe.html)).
I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs, my homemade applesauce, and an envelope of dried onion soup, plus some gluten free soy sauce.
While the chicken was cooking, I went out to lunch with my children.
You guessed it. Pho.
We do love our pho!
Pho sure! lol
I look at my grown children, and I see the mischief in their eyes from their childhood. I must have done something right. They both grew up into fine adults with big hearts.
After pho, I went off to teach. Teaching always lifts me up. Even more than pho!
And I had the applesauce chicken waiting for me at home. I was not disappointed.
It was delectable!
I wish I had a picture, but we pretty much gobbled it all up! Along with some wild rice and broccoli.
But I leave you with a picture of my fresh out of the oven kale chips. Much healthier than potato chips, but with a nice satisfying crunch. I sprayed them with olive oil, and sprinkled them with lemon pepper. Then I baked them at 300 degrees for 20 minutes, turning them after 10 and then letting them dehydrate in the oven after the timer went off.
Yum!
On that note, I hope you had a happy Tuesday!
Peace,
Zita
