Lovely Days

This has been such a pretty month so far! 
I think I've read a few more books this year than usual.  I used to be such a reader.  My mom couldn't get me to take my "nose out of a book" for love nor money. I don't know when or why I slowed it down.  I do know I swapped over from general reading and pursued self help books for a long time... Then I had such a time with cataracts and horrendous vision but the surgery was a great success for that.  
Anyway... I'm back!  If I had a few more spots in this house with a  comfy chair, I'd read a lot more!  
I guess making junk journals is more my addiction, but I have read six books in 3 months... 
please tell me in the comments what books you're enjoying! I would love to read them. 
Here's what's for dinner! 

Air Fryer Balsamic Chicken

INGREDIENTS
  • ¼ cup Balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dried rosemary leaves
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Feshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Mustard
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon
  • 2 Whole chicken breasts boneless, and skinless
  • Cooking Spray

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a small bowl combine the vinegar, honey, mustard, lemon, olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to a large resealable bag and pour the marinate over it, and seal the bag, and refrigerade for at least 2 hours.
  • Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the parchment. Spritz with a little bit of the leftover marinade.
  • Cook at 375ºF / 190ºC for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken, spritz it with marinade, and cook for 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF / 75ºC and the chicken is no longer pink inside. Let sit for 5 minutes then cut the chicken breasts into thick slices, and serve with baked potato wedges or a delicious green salad.
Sounds pretty good.  I'll let you know how we like it! 

Comments

You have done lots of reading! Good for you but your journals are so great, I think I like the artistic endeavor even better! I have been doing the bulk of my reading audibly ... when I walk, using my AirPods, and even when I sit in my chair and play solitaire. I just listen to a book while I do that, and I tell myself that I'm not being lazy, but rather developing me pirate brain, haahaa! Or warding off senility, whichever comes first. But that way, I have "read" at least ten books in recent days! I love it. I don't have an air fryer so I'm anxious to know how that recipe turned out! xoxo

Your journals are always just beyond gorgeous and creative. Please let me know if you ever want to sell any! I would love to buy one. They are so much better than the ones you can buy, you have a real talent for making them.
