Peanut Butter Apple Muffins

This is my favorite snack! Good for breakfast or after dinner "treat".

whole wheat/whole grain english muffins
peanut butter
apple

Cut english muffin in half and toast. Remove from toaster and spread with a little bit of peanut butter on each side. Top with apple slices. I top it either with large section sliced from the apple or three small slices of the apple, fanned out.

Alice Springs Chicken (Outback Chicken)

Mix equal parts (usually 1/3 c., for 12 servings I'd do about 3/4-1 c. of each):
mayo
honey
spicy brown mustard

Other ingredients:
boneless skinless chicken breasts, 4-6
bacon, cooked until crisp
cheddar cheese, sliced

Pour some of the sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Put chicken on top and pour some more sauce on top, reserving a little bit of sauce to warm and serve later. Cook at 375 until chicken is done. While chicken is done, cook the bacon. Remove chicken from the oven and top each breast with cheese, cooked bacon, and another slice of cheese. Return to the oven until cheese melts. Serve with the extra sauce.

(you can add sauteed mushrooms to the top of the chicken along with the cheese and bacon)

Orange Chicken

3 lbs chicken
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tsp butter
3 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ginger
1/3 c orange marmalade
2/3 c orange juice
1 tsp lemon juice
1 orange, thinly sliced
2 c rice, cooked

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, brown in butter(don't over cook). While chicken is browning, mix together remaining ingredients, except orange slices and cooked rice. When chicken is done, pour remaining juices from pan. Add the mixture to the browned chicken, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Add orange slices and simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve with rice.

About Me

I am a busy wife and mom of five and I love to decorate my home. Whether it be shopping for that perfect accessory or finding exactly what I had in my mind at a second hand store to redo, I love it all. Having to do it on a tight budget has taught me how to DIY everything! I work from home doing some accounting work to support my habit. I have to confess...I am a decoraholic!
