whimsy bits: birthday necklaces

i made these necklaces for my aunt and grandma for their birthdays. i really hope they love them!

sherry loves owls just like me (duh)! so only an owl necklace would do!

grandma's necklace is on a long silver chain and has three charms on it.

close up (sorry for the terrible pic). the disc says family and there's a dove charm with a twig in it's beak (gm loves noah's ark) and then a pic of the two of us.

happy birthday again ladies!

happy birthday sherry!

happy birthday sherry!

i love you and can't wait to actually get to celebrate with you when i live in texas again!

(maybe next year :))

i hope you have an amazing time.

enjoy your girls weekend in the hill country (i'm totally jealous).

you're amazing.

and i love you (again.).

recipe of the week

haven't done one of these in a while. welcome back recipe of the week!

chicken teriyaki stir fry

this was so so so easy.

ingredients:

2 bags of frozen stir fry with noodles

1 chicken breast

teriyaki sauce of your choice

we marinated the chicken in the sauce for about an hour and then grilled it on the foreman.

while it's grilling, dump your bags of veggies into a large skillet or wok.

once the chicken is done cut it into small chunks and add to the veggies.

add 1/4 cup of the sauce (or really as much as you like!)

let it get all friendly in there. you know they love each other so let them just hangout for a little while.

after about 20 minutes i scooped it all up into a bowl and had a great veggie packed dinner!

and i'll let you know, i did eat all those veggies. even those broccoli pieces :)

yay me!

and this whole dinner was only 5 points...WHAT?

yep, for 1.5 cups of the stirfry and 3 ounces of chicken.
