Recipe of the week: "Man-Pleasing Chicken"

Of course another Pinterest find! I am completely addicted to Pinterest, which is one of the reasons my blog has been so quiet! I should probably title this "recipe of the month".  But here is the recipe for"Man-Pleasing Chicken"! (I think I actually enjoyed it more than my man, though)

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. chicken thighs (I used chicken breasts)
1/2 cup of Dijon mustard
1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
salt/pepper

Mix mustard, maple syrup, and vinegar in bowl. Place chicken in baking dish, salt and pepper chicken, pour mixture in pan coating the chicken. Bake at 450 for 40 minutes, basting once or twice throughout.

We ate ours with sweet potato and broccoli! So easy to make and really yummy! Enjoy! 

Easter Activity

12 Days of Easter

Can't take credit for this one! Found this awesome activity on Pinterest and all the details for it from the family volley blog.  

This activity looks great for teaching the real meaning of Easter in a fun way. I of course haven't tried it yet, but wanted to post this in case anyone else was interested in trying it out this year! I am thinking my 2 and 1/2 year old might be a bit young for it, but we'll try it and save the materials so we can do it again in a few years if it doesn't work out this year! Started getting all the materials together so we have it ready to start 12 days before Easter.  

There is a different scripture hidden in an egg everyday, along with a small item that helps explain the bible verse and how it relates to the Easter story.  It is simple to prepare and you don't need many materials! I won't list them all here, check out this link for all the details and bible verses! 

Do you have any other fun Easter activities to share?? Would love to hear about them!
