Air Fryer Caesar Chicken Recipe

What a weekend! Not only am I recovering from a 2.5 month infection (cough and congestion - although the past few days I've been slowly feeling better), Jace came home from school early on Friday due to a headache - that turned into a cough and congestion so I was really hoping he wasn't getting what I have. We were going to go to the skatepark Saturday and decided to reschedule to next week so he could get some sleep and he is feeling better today. My doctor suggested that I still go on a walk (and I have been going on a walk the past four days outside!) and so I've been trying to stay active around the house - especially since I'm unemployed. I have been cooking more which I absolutely love (and my Mom noticed too!) and been reselling some items on Poshmark as well as blogging more and moving. I hit my steps the last 2/3 days and was only less than 100 steps short of hitting my steps yesterday! Oh, and of course watching the Utes and Broncos football! The Broncos are struggling since the beginning of the season, I'm so disappointed! I had high hopes for Bo Nix! 

Anyways, last night for dinner I made this Air Fryer Breaded Chicken. It was like a Caesar Salad type chicken which I thought was interesting. The other interesting thing about it is that usually there is an egg dredge when it comes to breaded chicken but there wasn't any egg in this one - which was good because we didn't have any eggs any way. Instead, the dredge was Caesar Dressing and Milk - interesting right? Recipe inspiration came from AllRecipes and I will definitely make this again. We served ours with green beans, mashed potatoes + gravy, and Hawaiian rolls. I wanted to try this because I like Caesar Salad and thought this would be a unique twist on breaded chicken. I also love the fact that this was Air Fried which made the chicken extra crispy and took less time than baking. 

Ingredients:
1 cup Kellogg's Corn Flakes Crumbs
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground mustard
 3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 cup Caesar Dressing
1 cup Milk
PAM or cooking spray
Pepper, to 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
