Yummy Summer Dinner

I found this super yummy recipe on the Cooking Light website and thought I would share it with all of you. It is soooo summery and deliscious! You could cook it on the grill instead of the broiler if you prefer, but for those of us that don't have the option of grilling, broiling worked great!

Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs

Skinless, boneless thighs cook quickly and are more flavorful than white meat, so they need fewer ingredients. Serve with garlic-roasted potato wedges and a salad or broccolini.

Yield 4 servings (serving size: 2 chicken thighs)

Ingredients
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
Cooking spray
6 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken to bowl; toss to coat. Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil chicken 5 minutes on each side.

Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well. Remove chicken from oven; brush 1/4 cup honey mixture on chicken. Broil 1 minute. Remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush chicken with remaining honey mixture. Broil 1 additional minute or until chicken is done.

Mother's Day, Toffee and A Disappointing Craft Fair

Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow bloggers! I plan on spending the day relaxing at home with the kids. The craft fair was a little disappointing yesterday. There seemed to be more people selling items that were not what I would consider handmade. The only item I bought was some homemade toffee, super yummy and well worth it! We had a nice long lunch, a lot of laughs and great conversation.

Busy Days

We're off to the Lockport Township AFJROTC craft fair today! It's going to be a great day out with family and friends. Can't wait to see all the handmade goodies! I have a ton of things to get done this weekend, including getting registered for the summer summester at school. Only two weeks until that begins, yikes! I also have some custom designs I'm working on so I will be one busy little lady this weekend!

I wanted to give a little shout out to JustPotters a great shop on Etsy that sells handmade pottery. Click here to learn more about this wonderful organization.
