Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Thighs Recipe

Good morning and happy Wednesday! 

Today I will be catching up on blog posts because tomorrow I will be going to the doctor to determine what this cough is all about and then doing a few errands and Friday, Jace comes home! It's been a long few weeks without him. 

A few nights ago I made this Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Thighs recipe. Although delicious, it was fairly sweet. If you don't like sweet BBQ, I suggest lowering the levels of Pineapple Juice in the recipe. The original recipe is from Air Fryer Yummy Recipes (although this is not an Air Fryer recipe). Besides the pineapple juice measurement, we also used garlic powder instead of minced garlic. Next time I think I will cut back on the Pineapple Juice and maybe do 1/2 cup instead of one cup. I tend to lean toward less sweet but I still enjoyed this and it really brought out the Hawaiian part for me. I did purchase pineapple juice just for this recipe so next time I will also buy a smaller can. I also ran out of BBQ sauce which didn't help so that will be higher as well next time. Allowing it to marinate is a great way to let the flavors soak into the chicken. Feel free to adjust the flavors to your liking. Although I didn't try this in the Air Fryer, I do think that adding it in the Air Fryer may give it a crispier and more caramelized flavor. Grilled veggies would be a great additional alongside the rice. 

Ingredients:
3/4 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup Pineapple Juice
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp garlic powder
Chicken thighs (we did about 4)
Pepper, for taste

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
