I just had to.

yes. it's true. I just HAD to scrap today.

I totally hadn't planned on it. I cleaned the house this morning, got some paper work and such done, but for the most part, i wanted to sit and relax after this crazy weekend. I didn't want to scrap or do anything. (like making dinner) :)

but guess what? out of the blue.. i got this surge of energy (or whatever you wanna call it) and made this delicious dinner, a homemade fruit smoothy (YUM!), AND i scrapped a page.

oh yes... i'm pulling out the big guns now and I'm physically doing something. hahaha

SO- here's the page I did tonight. came together nicely yes? this is my funny son who was eating a snow ball as if he'd never seen one. lol

And- because i'm nice and had such an amazing dinner, i have to share the recipe. I totally made it up, which is even better! So no measurements.... just throw however much you want into it and it will turn out great!

Chicken breasts (or tenderloins)- i used 6 tenderloins and there was still plenty leftover.

parmesan cheese

saltine crackers

cornflakes

salt

pepper

paprika

basil

herb chicken seasoning

parsley

chopped onion

mix it all together in a ziplock bag and crush the crackers and cornflakes until fine.

beat one egg in a bowl.

Over Med. heat, melt about 2 tbsp butter and about 1 tbsp of oil.

cover chicken piece in egg mix and then coat in crumb mix. place in fryer and cook on each side about 3-5 minutes. ( i think mine took more like 8 per side , but i'm REALLY picky about no pink in the middle)

then voila! you're done! it's seriously SOOOO stinkin good! i made baked potatoes and broccoli with it and it was a GOOOOOOOD stinkin meal. i'm calling it Amber's Southern Fried Chicken. :)

then the master of all smoothies:

5 strawberries (cut up)

1 banana

handful raspberries

5 scoops vanilla ice cream

2 scoops peach sorbet

1 scoop strawberry sorbet

about 1/2- 3/4 cup orange juice

1 cup ice

blend it all together and enjoy the heaven it is meant to be! Seriously... it's so good- almost better than what you can buy at Jamba juice or any other smoothy place.

so there ya go- enjoy a nice meal, dessert, and inspiration on me! nighty night! :)-
