Teriyaki chicken recipe

Okay so my blog is turning into a recipe blog, but hey atleast you get some good recipes right? This one is super easy and so delicious on chicken! I got it from my mom in law, and I think she got it from her daughter!

3/4 C. soy sauce
3/4 C. sugar
dash of ground ginger
1/3 C. Pineapple juice(or lemon juice if you don't have pineapple).

I mixed this all together in a small pot and got it boiling to dissolve the sugar, then poured it into the pan with my already cooked chicken and let it simmer and soak into the chicken. I did add a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce a bit. Then just serve over rice. SOOOO good! Tyrel approved it, which can be tough some times, so it's definitely a keeper! Enjoy!

*(you can also make this with meatballs and rice)

Halloween

We carved pumpkins the Sunday before Halloween. The kids loved it, but didn't like how gooey it was, especially Luke, watch video below. We celebrated halloween on Friday night since our ward party was that night. We had a yummy soup & chilli dinner. They had all kinds of games and prizes for the kids, then they did the trunk or treating! Lots of fun, lots of candy!

This sunset was so pretty. It looked like a tornado in the sky. There were so many colors. This picture doesn't do it justice! It was so cool!

To the bat cave!

I want to suck your blood!

Pumpkin Cookies!

So since it's fall, I thought it was time to make some pumpkin chocolate cookies. I got this yummy recipe from my, practically professional cook, SIL Dawna. I called to tell her I was making them, and little did I know that she was doing the exact same thing! So even though we are hundreds of miles apart, we were making the same cookies simultaneously! After we were done making them, we sent pictures of our yummy cookies to eachother so we could see eachothers finished product! How funny is that? So I decided to post pics on my blog since I had never made them before and I was proud of how they turned out. Yay for COOKIES!!!!!! Now go make some yourself! :D

Just before popping them in the oven!

TADA! The finished product! So yummy!

Yummy alfredo sauce

K so I wanted a different recipe for alfredo sauce, so I googled quick and easy alfredo sauce and picked the first one that came up. Holy fetch! This alfredo sauce was so good, and it is so quick and easy. I couldn't stop spooning it in my mouth. So I thought I would post it since it was so good. I have to warn you, it is a little bit on he fattening side, but oh is it tasty! You gotta try it! so here it is!


1/2 Cup butter or margarine
1 8 oz. package cream cheese
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 Cup milk(I used 1%)
6 oz. grated parmesan
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

Melt butter in med. non-stick pan over med. heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder and a little milk to help melt the cream cheese. Stirring with a wire wisk, add milk alittle at a time to get lumps out. Stir in parmesan & pepper. Remove from heat when it reaches desired consistency. It will thicken, so just add milk if it's too thick for you! Bon apetit!(or however you spell that):)
