Teriyaki Chicken Drumsticks

I was channel surfing last night and happened to come across this show, "Superstar: Kobe Bryant" and it was so good you guys! I'll admit, I cried like a baby when I found out he passed away - and tried not to cry last night. His helicopter accident was way too similar to how my dad passed away which made it extremely tough. I recorded the show so I will probably watch again today. Jace started school yesterday and had early out. Since he has a full school day today, I'll probably watch Superstar, work on tumblers and of course, blog :) 

Last night I made a Teriyaki Chicken Drumstick recipe. The initial recipe called for low-sodium teriyaki sauce and soy sauce which I did not have so I can't say it was the healthiest it could be BUT they were good! We served ours with white sticky rice and fresh green beans from Trader Joe's. If you like or make this recipe, let me know in the comments below!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 1/2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp pepper
12 chicken drumsticks

Directions:
Place the chicken drumsticks in a large ziplock bag. Add all of the ingredients in the bag, mix together and put in the refrigerator for at least a few hours. 

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the wings in a baking dish for 35 minutes. I had to put it back in the oven for 10 more minutes. Serve with rice and green beans.

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
