<a href="http://amazon.com/" target="_blank">Amazon</a> has become my new best friend. Well, sorta. In a matter of speaking. Over the last several weeks, I've found some great deals on resources for my kids' home school curriculum for the next school year. In my opinion, if it's what I'm looking for & the price is right, I'll take it!<br />
<br />
My friend Melissa at <a href="http://melissasbargains.com/" target="_blank">Melisa's Bargains</a> recently <a href="http://www.melissasbargains.com/stainless-steel-easy-pineapple-slicer-only-6-99-shipped/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MelissasBargainBlog+%28Melissa%27s+Bargains%29" target="_blank">posted a deal for a stainless steel pineapple slicer</a> for $3.32 & free shipping. I took a quick look, and by golly, shipping was definitely free! But the price of the pineapple slicer had already risen slightly. That's what happens when demand starts to rise for an item! <br />
<br />
You can now get this same stainless steel pineapple slicer for $3.85 and free shipping <a href="http://www.amazon.com/All-Ware-Stainless-Pineapple-De-Corer/dp/B000GA53CO/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1397646196&sr=1-1&keywords=pineapple+slicer?tag=melsbarblo-20" target="_blank">when you click here</a>. Still a good value!<br />
<br />
Thanks, Melissa, for the heads up!!<br />

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise! You probably thought you'd never hear from me again. And, yet, here I am!<br />
<br />
Yes, yes, I realize that I have been off the grid for several weeks. I have been oober busy planning for the next school year. I am pulling my kids out of public school and will be home schooling, so I have spent the past several weeks researching, talking to friends who home school, attending a home school conference, and finding home school curricula and resources. My dining table has been buried with textbooks, workbooks, readers, games, and science activities for a few weeks at least. I finally cleaned out a file cabinet that I will store most of the curricula in, and today managed to put a good chunk of the textbooks & workbooks into the file cabinet. The dining table is still about halfway covered, but I figure that some progress is better than no progress!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, cooking has been a challenge for me. With my mind focused on home schooling (BTW, there are numerous reasons why we are choosing to home school our kids, but I will not get on my soapbox at this time), I have had little desire to cook let alone think about what to make. I know that it truly is a matter of priorities, and I allowed meals to be low on the totem pole. The good news is that we have ate very healthily (I've even lost >10 lbs over the past month!!) but no meals that were awe-inspiring or worth sharing with my readers. Sorry!<br />
<br />
But now that our home school curricula for the next year is well-established, I can put my attention back on the blog and sharing freebies, deals & recipes. It also helps that my passion for cooking is also returning!<br />
<br />
I haven't made tonight's meal in quite a long while, and with a bag of lemons sitting in my fridge for some time, I got quite a hankering for some lemon in my dinner. I had chicken tenderloin in my freezer, and when you combine lemons & chicken, you get lemon chicken!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lemon Parsley Chicken</b></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
1 clove garlic<br />
1 lemon<br />
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour<br />
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, tenderloins, or thighs<br />
2 Tbsp olive oil<br />
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth<br />
2 tsp prepared mustard<br />
1/4 tsp ground sage<br />
1/4 tsp ground ginger<br />
1/2 Tbsp dried parsley, or 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley<br />
Salt & pepper, to taste<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
Peel & chop garlic. Grate the rind & squeeze juice from lemon; reserve juice. Combine flour, lemon rind and garlic into a medium bowl. Cut chicken into 1- or 2-inch pieces. Toss chicken pieces into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Reserve remaining flour mixture. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Whisk together reserved flour mixture, chicken broth, mustard, sage, ginger and parsley. Add to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes. Salt & pepper chicken dish, if desired. Serve over cooked pasta such as penne or linguine.<br />

The sweet & tart tang of orange marmalade followed by savory Italian herbs and Parmesan cheese make a winning combination for this dish. It received rave reviews from hubs and the kids. Loved it!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Orange Parmesan Chicken</b></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts<br />
2 Tbsp orange marmalade<br />
1/4 cup bread crumbs<br />
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese<br />
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning<br />
1 tsp garlic powder<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray nonstick cooking spray onto a baking sheet. Place marmalade into a shallow medium-size bowl. Mix remaining ingredients into a shallow medium-size bowl. Rinse and pat dry chicken. Dip chicken in marmalade, then dip into bread crumb mixture, patting mixture onto chicken to coat all sides. Place coated chicken breast onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese & bread crumb mixture is golden brown and juices of chicken run clear.<br />

I really, really, really did NOT like sweet potatoes when I was growing up. I mean, ugh, they were all mushy and orange and blech! Of course, back then, the only kind of sweet potato that I had came with 5 pounds of brown sugar and butter and was dotted with white or pastel-colored mini marshmallows. Way too rich for my tastebuds!<br />
<br />
Then there was sweet potato pie, which was like fool's gold to me. Looked like pumpkin pie, smelled like pumpkin pie, sorta tasted like pumpkin pie, but had a fibrous texture that let my brain know it was definitely not pumpkin pie.<br />
<br />
It was about 5 years ago that I learned there were numerous ways to prepare sweet potatoes, and after trying various recipes, I also learned that some of them were actually really good! I felt as though a part of my childhood had been stolen. Why did I not know of this before???<br />
<br />
Sweet potatoes are loaded with vitamins and much healthier to eat than a regular potato. So why not eat sweet potatoes?<br />
<br />
One of my favorite ways to have sweet potatoes is in the form of a french fry -- sweet & savory all at the same time. Plus, it's homemade, and what's better than that?!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sweet Potato Fries</b></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
1 large sweet potato<br />
1-2 Tbsp olive oil<br />
pinch of salt<br />
dash of pepper<br />
1/2 tsp cinnamon<br />
1/2 Tbsp sugar<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel sweet potato, then cut into thin strips. Sweet potatoes are rather tough tubers, so it helps to cut the sweet potato in half across its width, then cut the halves into thin strips. Place sweet potato strips into a large bowl and drizzle olive oil over them. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, then with cinnamon sugar. Mix all ingredients together. Add more cinnamon and/or sugar if desired. I usually eyeball until the sweet potato strips "look right." <br />
<br />
Place sweet potato strips onto a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes, turn strips over, then bake an additional 15 minutes or until desired tenderness/crispiness is reached. I like mine crispy on the outside, tender on the inside! 8-}<br />

Our house has 2 nights designated for desserts--Monday night, which is our dedicated family night with special family activities; and Friday night, which is the "finally the weekend is here & we can relax!" night. The kids always look forward to dessert night, making sure to remind me so I don't forget.<br />
<br />
I admit that I look forward to our dessert nights, too. I try to steer clear of desserts that are heavy and rich, partly so my hips will thank me, and partly to keep the kids' teeth from rotting with so much sugar! LOL But mostly to keep things at least semi-healthy without sacrificing taste.<br />
<br />
Earlier this year, I bought some Spring-themed chocolate chip morsels that were marked down at a rock-bottom price (I paid about $1.20 per bag, which is about as low as it goes in my neck of the woods). I've tried coming up with some creative ways to using them, and decided to try them as part of the frosting for a cake.<br />
<br />
I'm not a big fan of traditional cake frosting. When I do have cake, I usually prefer to go without any frosting. When I do frost a cake, I'll use some melted butter and cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top. Or whipped topping.<br />
<br />
I happened to have some whipped topping in the fridge and decided to make a cake for our dessert night.<br />
<br />
Not just any cake--a trifle cake! Which I've never made before, to be honest. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted to do and put together the following version, which the kids drooled over and said was really, really good. After taste-testing myself, I had to agree that it was delicious and without the weighty, heavy, sugary taste that usually accompanies a cake!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chocolate Trifle</b></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
1 box chocolate cake mix, prepared (I used Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge)<br />
1 - 3.4 oz instant banana pudding mix<br />
2 cups milk<br />
8 oz whipped topping<br />
chocolate chip morsels<br />
caramel syrup ice cream topping<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
Cut cake into 1-2-inch size chunks. Place half of cake chunks into bottom of large bowl. Prepare pudding according to package directions, using 2 cups milk. Layer 1/2 prepared banana pudding, then 1/2 whipped topping, then some chocolate morsels and a little caramel syrup on top. Repeat all layers. Chill or serve immediately.<br />

<br />
These are really, really tasty, and a great meal for when you're on the go. You can use bottled teriyaki sauce, or make a homemade version using the recipe below.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Slow-Cooker Teriyaki Chicken Drummies</b></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
3 lbs chicken drumsticks<br />
1 med. onion, chopped<br />
1 cup soy sauce<br />
1 cup brown sugar<br />
2 tsp ground ginger<br />
2 cloves garlic, minced<br />
1/4 cup water<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
Rinse & pat dry chicken. Place chicken into a 6-qt slow cooker. Mix together remaining ingredients, then pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours or high 2-3 hours. Stir drumsticks in sauce before serving.<br />
<br />
The drumsticks in the picture above were still frozen when I put them in the slow cooker. After 6 hours of slow cooking, they were juicy, tender, and fall-off-the-bone delicious!<br />

Unfortunately, my camera batteries all went kapoot last recently, and it was Saturday before I was able to find buy new ones, so please accept my apologies for not having as many recipe links as I would have liked.<br />

This meal really is, hands down, one of our family favorites. I call it taco"less" since it's a taco without the tortilla. It's a great alternative to eating light without sacrificing taste or a satisfied palate. I use ground venison in my recipe, and I go a little heavy on seasonings to get rid of the gamey taste. You can certainly use ground beef, chicken or turkey, but I recommend going a little light on seasonings, taste test, then add more if needed.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tacoless Tacos</b></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
1 lb ground venison or your choice of ground meat<br />
1 med. onion, chopped<br />
1/2 bell pepper, chopped<br />
2 med. carrots, shredded<br />
1 clove garlic, minced<br />
1/2 cup water<br />
1 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder<br />
2 tsp cumin<br />
2 Tbsp chili powder<br />
1/8 tsp ground pepper<br />
shredded lettuce<br />
<u>Toppings of your choice:</u><br />
Chopped green onion<br />
Shredded cheese<br />
Diced roma tomato<br />
Sliced black olives<br />
Dollop of sour cream and/or guacamole<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
Brown ground meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat with onion, bell pepper, carrots and minced garlic, stirring occasionally, until meat is no longer pink. Stir in water and seasonings. Bring water to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 7-10 minutes. Serve over a bed of shredded lettuce. Add your favorite taco toppings.<br />
<br />
Delicious!<br />

So I have some recipes to post but haven't been able to do it. I'm so bummed--my camera is toast! Well, the batteries are, to be more specific. I had rechargeable batteries & lost one of them, so I did the unthinkable and mixed regular alkaline with rechargeable lithium batteries. That worked ok until it was time to recharge the lithium batteries. My camera has sucked the life out of the lithium AND all my alkaline batteries. I plan to buy all new lithium batteries, which will hopefully resolve the issue so I can new recipes posted. Fingers crossed!<br />

It's been that way for several weeks. I'm just not receiving these emails as early as my email account says they are. <br />
<br />
But received it was, finally. There are a few items in the 3-Day sale, one item of which is AWESOME!<br />
