{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

Chicken & Taters!

JOINING YVONNE AT STONE GABLE FOR "ON THE MENU MONDAY"...OVER @ http://stonegable.blogspot.com/2012/03/weekly-menu_25.html

 I have a recipe to share with you today! I hope you enjoy it!  I can tell you now that while it is cooking, you will drool over the smell! 

Chicken and Potato Roast
Whole Chicken-get all the giblets out and wash good! Lift the skin up with a knife and dab butter under the skin the best you can. This helps to keep it moist.

Next, drag out the spices. I love spices!!!!!
Take EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and coat the chicken. Next sprinkle your spices. I used Lemon pepper, Natures Seasoning ( I use for everything) , Pampered Chef Crush Peppercorn and Garlic Rub (I love) and Lowery's Seasoning Salt (A must have in your kitchen).
Then chop your potatoes up. I usually use the small red potatoes but all I had was the yellow. I like cooking potatoes with the peelings on if possible so I wash the potatoes and cut off any bad spots and then I dice. I used one small diced onion and took one clove of fresh garlic (It smells so good while cooking) and diced it up. 
 
 Spread the cut up potatoes, onions and garlic all around in your pan with chicken, tossing some of the garlic and onion inside the cavity of the chicken. 

Next: I topped it off with more EVOO and Paprika.

Got it ready for the oven which was preheated at 400 degrees. 

Doesn't that already look good? And if you could only smell it while it is cooking!!!! Topped it off with alum. foil and baked it for about 1 hour 30minutes. (Every oven varries)If your pot. doesn't taste just quite done remember that they will cook a little more from the steam when you take them out of the oven as long as you keep the alum. foil on it.

Not only does it smell good but looks good. Grab a plate!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a yard

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy
