Lemon Chicken W/ Asparagus

I tried a new recipe awhile back that I wanted to share because it was SUPER tasty!!!

"The Kitchen Diva's Lemon Chicken With Asparagus"

4 (4oz) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 TBSP Olive oil
1 TBSP poultry seasoning
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
4 garlic gloves, chopped
1 red bell pepper, stem removed, seeded and diced
1/2 lb asparagus, cut into 1-in pieces
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock or water
2 cups cooked brown rice or whole wheat couscous

Directions

Prepare rice/couscous per package directions

Rinse chicken under cold water. Pat dry with food safe paper towels. Season chicken with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add chicken. Cook about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook another 5 minutes or until golden brown. Move chicken to sides of pan and stir in garlic and red pepper. Add asparagus and cook 1 minute. Stir in zest and chicken stock or water and turn heat to low. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes. Serve immediately over rice or couscous.

I got this recipe off the Dr Oz web site. Hope you enjoy!! Let me know what you think!

BABY!!!

As I mentioned before I am pregnant and the baby is due July 4th. It has been a pretty good pregnancy and I feel great right now! I am past the morning sickness, but not quite to the really uncomfortable part, yet!

This is the baby's first picture taken Dec 21, 2009. Looks like another happy little one!!

A picture of the little hands! Here is a funny story about the hands! When the tech was there she got this picture and said he was holding his hands like a boxer. I said he had definitely been practicing that boxing on my bladder!! When the dr came in he only found one hand up by the baby's face and when he found the other hand it was down by the baby's bottom, he said scratching his bum. I said "OH, he is like his dad!!" I thought it was funny, as did Mike, but the dr thought it was too much information and moved on quickly!

Here are his cute little feet!

And finally proof that it is a boy. He was NOT shy as you can tell!! Now we just need to think of a name!

Update

So it's been awhile again!! We are doing well here in Henderson!! We are enjoying the Spring time weather although Tyler's allergies are really getting to him, poor boy!! Mike is really busy with work, which is good!! We got our garden planted a couple weeks ago. I am REALLY hoping for a better harvest then we had last year!!

I have been trying to get things ready for the baby! We got the crib set up and the dresser moved so I have room for Tyler's clothes and the baby's clothes. I got a quilt made for the new little guy and I am working on bumper pads. Well, I WAS working on bumper pads and I got very irritated because I couldn't get the measurements to workout so I have taken a break for a few days but I am sure I will feel like working on them again soon. Here is a picture of the quilt.

This is Tyler's First grade picture taken at the beginning of the school year. It is hard for me to believe that he is almost seven!! He is doing really well!! We have been able to keep him healthy so far and I think we are pretty much out of the woods! I just need to try to get his allergies under control!
Tyler was chosen as student of the quarter at his school. This is a picture of a plaque that they gave him. That is his teacher with him. His school is amazing with him!! Everyone loves him and they make sure he is taken care of. He even has a "grandma" there that takes EXTRA good care of him!! I have been going down to the school one or two times a week for a month or so and it is fun to see what they do there and how Tyler reacts to the teachers, aids, therapists and other students!

This is a video of Tyler laughing. He thought something was really funny this day!! This was about the third time he just started laughing and I was finally able to get it on video. After I took this video I noticed he smelt a little suspicious and I checked his diaper and he had messed his pants, so I guess that is what was so funny!! Although I did NOT find it funny!!
