M... is for Mustard Monday!

So, I am taking a brief break from Meatless Monday as I need to get re-inspired.  In the meantime I thought I would embark on another "theme".   Let's call this "Mustard Monday" as I take on the Great Mustard Challenge!   This challenge came out of a recent activity.  Last weekend I cleaned out the fridge... like really cleaned it out.  I took everything out and scrubbed all the shelves.  I organized the items and put things back in a neat and organized fashion.  In doing all this I realized that I had 9... yes, NINE jars/bottles of mustard.  Mostly all different kinds (although a few of the same)... dijon, honey mustard, yellow, golden, German, etc.  You name it... I have it!  So, we need to use up some of this mustard so I am going to focus on recipes that use mustard, hence the Great Mustard Challenge!  


This week I bring you Curried Honey Mustard Chicken! 

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon-style prepared mustard
  • 4 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl combine the melted butter/margarine, honey, mustard, curry powder and cayenne powder. Mix well. Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour honey/mustard mixture over chicken. Cover and place in refrigerator. Marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. Remove dish from refrigerator and bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove cover and bake about 10 minutes more, or until done and juices run clear (baking time will depend a little on how thick your chicken breasts are).
  

We "made" it the night before and let it marinate overnight.   This resulted in very moist flavorful chicken!  Yummy.  This dish feels kind of "Indian"... curry.  I would suggest serving it with rice and a green salad.  If you have some good bread, you will do a lot of dipping into the yummy sauce!


Until next time... xoxo

P is for Project!

Image
So, since the wee one arrived, we have not had a real house project.  The husband loves a project and has been hankering for something new to work on!  Well, he now has one.  We have a strange room in our basement that is "finished" it has a fireplace and everything.  I will share more on the "update" of the room.   At one point, the husband had made some "improvements" in hopes at one point of having a "kick ass" man town.  But, he never really used the space.  My philosophy is use it or lose it! So, we have a three bedroom house, once Avery arrived we lost a guest room.   At Christmas we had more guests than beds.  So, we have decided to convert the basement room into a playroom/guest room.  Now, Avery will not use it as a playroom for quite a while, but I like to plan ahead!  It will be great to have some additional guest space.  So, in order for it to function as guest space and "hang out" or play space- we need sitting and...

I is for Inspiration...

I love this feature wall.  Usually I am not into feature walls, but in this case... LOVE IT!  I stumbled across this photo in Better Homes and Gardens magazine.  I could not find this photo on their website so sorry for my bad photo taken of the magazine page. As you know, I did a Board and Batten project in my master bedroom.  I have gotten lots of compliments on it!  I like a project that adds character to a house!  I have also admired exposed board walls like the one Miss Mustard Seed created.  Unfortunately, the exposed board look does not really go with the style of our house which has a lot of molding, wainscotting, etc.   I think it is a little too casual for our home.  If we had a cape or bungalow it would be great, but our Royal Barry Wills colonial calls for something else. I have this idea saved in the back of my mind if we ever finish our attic or perhaps for Avery's room when she gets older! :)  You cannot really see the ...
