Taste of Our Home Tuesday: Southern-Style Oven-Fried Chicken



We tried this chicken last night and it was delicious!!  It was super easy and quick to put together too.  I was impressed with how crunchy the breading was.  We will definitely be having it again!!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups Ritz crackers (about 50)
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
2 eggs
1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Place a rack in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; coat the rack with cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, mix the first seven ingredients. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk eggs. Dip chicken in eggs, then in cracker mixture, patting to help coating adhere. Place on prepared rack. Bake 20 minutes. Turn chicken; bake 15-25 minutes longer or until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear. Yield: 6 servings.

10 Months

We've been spending more and more time playing outside.  Elijah loves playing in water!

(If you click on the picture it will enlarge and you can see the tooth better)

At 10 months he:
-is still crawling everywhere
-can crawl to the top of the steps
-is crawling on top of whatever he can (thankfully that's not to many things just yet)
-gives high 5's
-loves to clap his hands
-loves to play peek-a-boo (he holds up his blanket and covers his face, than yanks it down quick and waits for you to say "boo"
-is eating MUCH better! 
-has TWO teeth poking through
-has not been sleeping as well (I'm guessing because of his teeth, at least I'm hoping that's the issue)
-loves reading books
-loves playing in the swimming pool
-loves banging on the lid to the toilet and crawls into the bathroom as fast as he can
-loves playing on the bed or couch
-loves his Daddy and cries when he leaves the room
-mimics us (he pretends to cough when we do)
-thinks it's funny when he or I sneeze.
We have really enjoyed watching Elijah's personality come out these last couple of months.  He has been a delight!

Water fun inside

Some days I think Elijah gets bored with his toys.  One day when it was too cool to get in the swimming pool outside, we brought the water inside.  I duct taped one of my Tupperware containers down to the table and filled it with some colored water.  I spread a towel out on the floor to catch the splashing and away we went.  He really seemed to enjoy it and it kept him busy for a good 30 minutes.

 He loves that whisk.

His scrunchy face. :)
