Recipe Box: Knock-Off Red Robin Crispy Chicken Salad

I barely remembered to snap a photo before I devoured it

We don't eat out much, but when Stefan's in the mood (which is not often, he has more will-power than I do), for a burger, he usually wants to eat at Red Robin. We probably haven't eaten there but three or so times since moving out to Blaine, but I crave their Crispy Chicken Salad something fierce. If you want a salad that is a meal, and you love stuff in your salad, take my word for it and make this at some point this week. You will not be disappointed! 
This serving size is enough for 1 person's salad, with chicken 'strips' leftover for 3 other people, at 2 a piece.

You'll need:
*3 skinless chicken breasts, thawed and cut into 3 strips a piece
*6 cherry tomatoes
* 1 medium carrot, chopped
*2 cups of your favorite lettuce (I like curly leaf, and romaine)
*2 eggs
*1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
*homemade honey mustard (1/2 cup each of honey, yellow mustard and then 1TBSP light mayo and lemon juice)
*1.5 cups rice crispies cereal
*1/2 cup pretzels (I love Glutino's gluten-free pretzel rods)

Preheat oven o 350 degrees. Use 1 egg and whip in a shallow bowl. Hard-boil the other egg for 8 minutes (cool, peel, and slice in eighths when done). Put the pretzels & rice crispies cereal into the food processor and pulse until the consistency looks closer to bread crumbs. You don't want it extremely fine, you want some 'chunk' to it, but it usually takes me between 30-90 seconds of processing.

The three chicken breasts need to be sliced into three pieces each. Dunk each 'tender' into egg wash, covering it completely, and then immediately into breadcrumb mixture, covering the piece of chicken. Place on sprayed oven pan. Once all are done, pop in the oven and set time for about 15 minutes or until cooked.

Making homemade honey mustard: add 1/2 cup if honey, and 1/2 cup of yellow mustard to a small jar, add light mayo and lemon juice. Whisk with fork or shake with lid on vigorously for about 1 minute. There may still be some small mayo chunks, but the taste is excellent. 

Wash and chop lettuce, tomatoes split in two, and dump chopped carrot and cheddar cheese on top of lettuce pile. Complete with cooled, peeled, and cut egg and fork-sized pieces of slightly cooled chicken before adding homemade honey mustard dressing. Enjoy!

Home School Activities: Board Games We Love

My children have recently become enthralled in the world of board games. I was never a board game player. Sure, I remember long summer hours (days? it seemed like it..) spent around a Monopoly board, but I was never one to suggest to get out the cards, or a game. As my children have grown and they are now able to do activities with me, I started noticing that they really took to puzzles (when done all together) and the one or two board games I happened to have kept in the storage room. They were always asking to play Candy Land and so I figured I should branch off a bit. Over the course of the last year, I have found GREAT games, even ones that I love to play alongside them. The amount of 'teaching' they have gotten through games is jaw-dropping. Counting, team-playing, math related patterning, are just some of the skills I've watched develop. I asked before Christmas on facebook what my friends and their own kids loved and I was thrilled with the response. We have found ov...

Home School Resources: Links we Love

Source: ladyanndeborja.tumblr.com via Sarah on Pinterest Today I'm just sharing a list of my favorite go-to resources for home schooling. It's a list of where I find games, books, crafts, and fresh inspiration. Also included are articles I've loved about home schooling. One of my favorite websites about homeschooling, updated daily, is Simple Homeschool . It's a shoot off branch of SimpleKids & SimpleMoms, and they often have great giveaways, advice, and have concise and interesting topics. A friend recently guided me to World Book Online to find the general requirements of each grade. At the curriculum fair I went to in April, I remembered two vendors that I want to revisit if they return. One was Hepner's Legacy and the other was Miller's Pads and Papers (don't be fooled by the poor websites, they have great products at good prices). TED Talks . Go. Watch. Now. All of them. Awesome. Even if home schooling is a laughable topic to you, you're ...

Lukka's Birthday Interview // 17

17! You're FINALLY 17! You can drive independently, and you have read the manual, watched professional drivers and gleaned tips from others about this test that you've been dreaming about for years. You were given a car by a friend of ours, cleaned it to perfection, fixed it up in places, and have driven your sister and friends all over for the past week in near-unbridled joy. I am so happy for you (and I'd be lying if I wasn't happy for me, too)! You are such a mature and kind-hearted young man. You have big plans and are taking the steps to proactively execute them. You are sweet to your sister even if you'd deny it in front of your friends, and your relationship with her has come full-circle back to being as close as you two were in your littlest years.  You have so many goals and you work hard to achieve them! You prioritize what's important to you, and are willing to cut the rest. Although I sometimes wonder how you will remember to get to appointments with...
