Bruschetta Chicken Recipe

Image
Grilled Bruschetta Chicken Source: adapted from Kraft Foods 4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves 1/2 cup KRAFT Sun-Dried Tomato dressing, divided 2 tomato, finely chopped 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried basil leaves Place a large sheet of heavy-duty foil over half of grill grate; heat grill to medium heat. Meanwhile, place chicken in resealable plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup dressing and seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat chicken with dressing. Refrigerate 10 minutes ( I marinate it all day if I remember in time ). Remove chicken from bag; discard bag and dressing. Grill chicken on uncovered side of grill for about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/4 dressing, tomatoes, cheese and basil. Turn the chicken over and place cooked-side up, on foil on the grill. Top with tomato mixture. Close lid. Grill 8 minutes or until chicken is done. This was DELICIOUS!! I made this tonight.

Not All Sunscreens Are Safe!

There are TWO on the market that are safe, chemical free, and don't contribute to skin cancer. In all, 84 percent of the 831 sunscreens EWG tested did not pass health and environmental muster. Many contained potentially harmful chemicals like Benzophenone, homosalate and octyl methoxycinnamate (also called octinoxate), which are known to mimic naturally occurring bodil y hormones and can thus throw the body’s systems out of whack. Some also contained Padimate-0 and parsol 1789 (also known as avobenzone), which are suspected of causing DNA damage when exposed to sunlight. Furthermore, EWG found that more than half the sunscreens on the market make questionable product claims about longevity, water resistance and UV protection.

Today I picked my own strawberries! Some were from my little strawberry patch, but most were from the local farmer.  This was my first choice for my strawberries... I think tomorrow night will be strawberry shortcake w/ real whipped cream and then maybe this fun item I found on Pinterest... theworldwidegourmet.com   says:  Strawberries dried in the oven: Taste like candy, but are healthy & natural. 3 hrs at 210 degrees.   If you try this before I do, please let me know how they are! :)

3-2-1 Cake

The kids & I love this 'new' cake idea! Are you hungry for a piece of cake but don't want to make a whole cake because it'll go to waste? Well, here's your solution...  3-2-1 Cake Take 1 box of Cake mix (any flavor your want!) Add 1 box of Angel Food Cake mix. Mix together and put into either a ziploc bag or air tight container for storage. When hungry for some cake: Put 3 Tablespoons of the above cake mix in a small bowl or mug. Add 2 Tablespoons of water. Mix well. Microwave for 1 minute on high. Viola, your cake is done. Put a little icing on top and eat with a spoon! ENJOY!!
