Pinterest Overload: Skillet Chicken Parmesan (Updated)

Know what the problem with Pinterest is? It’s so freaking addicting!! I’m working on a Pinterest challenge (I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow) and so I’ve been spending more time over there than usual. Picture me waking up in the morning and pouring myself a warm cup of coffee, opening up Pinterest, thinking “ok, I’m gonna peruse the food and drink category.” Next thing you know it’s 2am, I’ve drank at least three pots of coffee, and I’m still wearing my pajamas. It’s a very dangerous possibility. Stay safe, be smart – have a Pinterest rescue buddy who will steal your computer if you’ve been on Pinterest for more than three hours straight. Little K is my buddy. Who’s yours?

No more computer time for you, Mom! (Actually, that’s not my computer. Mine is orange and blue, not yellow and blue.)

The point is, I have yet another Pinterest recipe that I tried for dinner the other day. I will again open up a real cookbook one of these days.

This is a very quick, very easy recipe. I didn’t find the flavor all that great though – pretty bland. A winner if you’re looking for a quick weeknight meal, though. (Recipe here.)

Eating Healthier with Sesame Chicken

I’m feeling so worn down lately. Maybe it has something to do with me having to drive an hour each way to and from work. Maybe it’s because the weather around here has been crummy. Maybe it’s because we’ve had a fairly full schedule the last several days and next few. I don’t really know, but the result is me dragging myself out of bed and to and from work before falling into bed again after Little K goes down. For dinner last night I knew I wanted something substantial, but something that was healthy and light too. I found the perfect thing on Simply Scratch.
