Random stuff

So I have not taken Maddy's 4 month pics yet because well...she has been a grump all morning. She doesn't want to play with toys, she doesn't want me to hold her, she doesn't want to lay down, she doesn't want to sit up, she doesn't want to eat, she doesn't want to watch tv. She just wants to whine. So, she is sitting in her swing and whining because I do not know WHAT else to do with her. We can't go outside because it is too cold, and I can't take her anywhere because Mitch has the SUV and I refuse to put her in my shitty old car. So. We sit here and whine.

Anyway, I tried a new recipe last night for dinner. Its payday friday which means we are running low on groceries so I was looking for something simple and quick and found this recipe for Italian Chicken. It turned out SO FREAKING GOOD. I wish I would've made more so I had leftovers for today! And it was so simple and didn't take a lot of ingredients. My kind of recipe! lol! Anyway, here it is:

Italian Chicken

Ingredients:
4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup Italian salad dressing
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
Minced fresh parsley

Directions:
Place chicken in a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Drizzle with salad dressing; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and salt if desired. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Sprinkle with parsley.

I changed it up a tiny bit and seasoned the chicken with lemon pepper and some garlic salt, then marinated in the dressing for an hour before cooking. Very very good and easy!

Also, I don't think that I would live without these. They are SO good and only take 6 minutes in the microwave to make. I don't know why they don't have the gumbo listed on the website but its so yummy. Perfect for days like today when Maddy barely gives me time to breathe much less make something for myself to eat.
