Sweet and Spicy Chicken

THIS! This is one of my FAVORITE recipes!!

How many of you love to snack on your children's chicken nuggets?? Or lets face, some of us don't have kids yet we still enjoy a good chicken nugget meal! 

This recipe was inspired by my LOVE for chicken nuggets! Super simple and really yummy! 

Ingredients:

2-3 Chicken Breast cut into pieces 

1 cup Almond Flour

Seasoning (I use Cajun but you can use Italian or whatever you would like!)

2 eggs 

1 cup honey

1/4 cup hot sauce 

1 TBS garlic powder

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 425

2. Spray cookie sheet with oil or use parchment paper 

3. In a bowl scramble eggs. Place almond flour and seasoning in a separate bowl. Take chicken pieces and dip into eggs, then roll into flour mix, and place on cookie sheet. ***Let extra egg drip off chicken before place into flour AND let chicken sit for 30 minutes after coated to let the coating soak into the chicken, this will prevent the coating from falling off later**** 

4. Bake chicken for 30 minutes or until center is done. 

5. While chicken is cooking, place honey, hot sauce, and garlic powder in sauce pan. Bring to a boil then take the sauce off of the heat

6. When chicken is done, take it out of the oven and place oven to BROIL. Place each piece of chicken into the sauce till coated and then back onto the pan.

7. Broil coated chicken for 5 minutes

8. Then Enjoy!! Pour any extra sauce on top if you wish ;)

First Day of School!

Well folks, the times is here where I will get to embrace 120 new freshman to my hometwon high school! 

I am so excited to complete my student teaching back at my old stomping grounds! But have to admit it has been SUPER weird working along side some of my former teachers! Ahh I feel old.

Speaking of feeling old, I was invited to my first ever high school reunion! I am actually really excited about it but can't believe its been over 5 years since graduation. Some of you may be giggling to yourself thinking I am a young lady, which is true, but 5 years was a long time ago! Yet it feels like just yesterday! Plus what am I going to talk about? lol I will save that fun subject for another post! 

This weekend I had the opportunity to go visit Grandma and Grandpa south of the border in the beautiful O-H-I-O (sorry, buckeye territory, it takes me a lot to cross that border..go blue!)

I was able to see my cousin play in his high school football game under the lights.

I got to go to my FAVE restaurant! Seriously, the best sushi you will EVER eat!

And got to spend some quality time with grandma and grandpa when I wasn't preparing for class! 

I also want to point out that I now have to wake up between 4:30-4:45am every day. UGHHHHHH. Please think of me and send the coffee my way around 1 today when I am doomed to crash! Also, who looks this great when they wake up in the morning!? I wish thats what I looked like at 4:30am

Anyway, happy first day of school to those teachers who are starting today and to those already in the classroom for a few weeks :) Make sure to link up your monthly goals and check out the goals of others!
