Re-purposed shirt

I had a sewing machine since I was 22 (9 years if you do the math right). It never ever worked for me. I made up my mind that seeing is not something I can do. A few months ago my mom sat down to show me how, and turns out a major piece was missing, which is why it never worked. Han so, maybe I don't suck at it...

Last week I had a sudden urge to attempt to sew, so I went to my mom's and got hers (which was my grandma's. And ironically, the day I had the urge is the day my grandma would have been 88.  Think she was talking to me.) 

I practiced for a few days and finally attempted on the real deal. This is Pinterest-inspired and turned our awesome! 

I just took a shirt that was too tight and added some fabric to the sides. The camp fabric is actually from my friend's marine BDU's. Which is fitting for the shirt. 

This is a before and after picture.

Crispy Ranch Chicken... It's what's for dinner

Tonight’s dinner is definitely inspired by Pinterest.  I found this recipe about a year or two ago and make it every once in a while.  Crispy Ranch Chicken.  Mmm mmm!!!

 It’s really easy to make, even though the ingredients seem a little, odd? 

 What you need:

Boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 oz package of the ranch dressing mix (not ranch dressing sauce!!)
2 cups of rice crispy cereal, crushed
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 egg whites, beaten

 

Mix the rice crispy cereal, ranch mix and parmesan cheese together.  Dip the chicken in the egg whites, then cereal to coat evening.  Bake for about 30-45 minutes in 375 degrees until golden brown. 

 

I served mine with some Pork and Beans and Velveeta Shells and Cheese.
