Day 24 and Day 25...A Movie You Wouldn't Expect Me To Have and A Recipe

So I spent a long time trying to figure out a movie that no one would expect me to watch or have...but my movies are all very me...girly, romantic comedies, or kids movies.  Nothing scary or bloody...so I have nothing for that. I do however have a recipe to share.  I love it very much and made it for my family for Christmas dinner.

Before Cooking
After Cooking
This is my all is one meal.  It can be made with either chicken or pork tenderloin.
You will need enough of either meat to feed your family
Shake and Bake flavor of your choice
Potatoes that have been peeled and par boiled
Mushrooms, Peppers, Onions(as many or few as you like)
Italian Dressing
BBQ Sauce
Shredded Cheese

You'll need a pan large enough to fit all the ingredients in without stacking your meat so it cooks evenly.  Also, you'll want to foil line it for easy clean up.
Preheat the oven to 350-375 for the pork or chicken
In your pan place your Shake and Bake coated meat, followed by your sliced veggies, and your par boiled potatoes
Drizzle as much or little Italian Dressing as you like over the whole pan.
Place in oven when ready and cook for 30 mins for chicken and more like 45 for pork
Remove from oven and coat with BBQ sauce and Shredded Cheese
Cook for another 5 minutes
Enjoy!

When I cook I use a meat thermometer more then times...pork should be cooked to at least 160 degrees and chicken to at least 165 degrees...always testing the fattest part of the meat.

Hope you try it...it is quite a tasty meal!

Day 23... A Way In Which You Want To Be Remembered

I would love to be remembered with a scholarship in my name. It could be for working with kids in a school or to help someone who wants to be a teacher.  Either that or for excellence in programming for Bridgewater State's Program Committee...since I spent a lot of time there during college.  I like the idea of a scholarship because I know that they helped me get through college and I'd love to help others.

Day 22...A Website


So this is a website I just recently started using...it's pretty awesome! I get all the stuff I'd need from different places like the grocery store, cvs, wal-mart, all in one place...shipped to me in 1 to 2 days...with coupons and discounts. I think it's wonderful. I placed an order yesterday (2/6) it will be here tomorrow (2/8) and they gave me free shipping and $10.00...what more could I want.  I hope you all try it and like it as much as I do...and if you use my share the savings code you get 15% off your first purchase!

Happy Saving!

Day 21...Something You Do Differently Then Most People

Coupons...

I cut and use coupons like no other.  If there is a coupon for something I need I will find it.  I will switch where I'm going out to eat because I have a coupon.  My grocery list is always what's on sale and what's on sale with a coupon.  I started at a young age with coupons...organizing my mom's by date of expiration.  I never quite understood how important they were until I started my own shopping.  There have been times that with my coupons and sales I've spent as much or less then I've saved...which is crazy.  I know that others use coupons, I just feel like there are very few of my friends that use them like I do.  My tip to you all is google search before you go...9 times out of 10 there's a coupon for it!

Day 20...A Hobby You Have

Taking Pictures

My camera goes everywhere with me...I love to take pictures.  Pictures of friends and family, pets, animals, nature...you name it.  I'd love to have a better camera to work with, but better means more money, so right now I stick with what I have.  Pictures to me are an amazing way to document what I've been up to or where I've been.  I also love to make slideshows with pictures, especially for my classes, it's like a year in review for them...so my picture taking is essential.  It's definately something I will continue for many years to come...I can't wait to see what amazing pictures I will get!

Day 19...A Talent You Have

Dance

I may not be the best dancer or the most talented dancer but I love doing it and I'm ok at it.  It's something I didn't start until my 2nd year at Bridgewater but I'm so glad I did.  I LOVE dancing...it's so nice to work out and have fun.  At Bridgewater I was in the Dance Company for their Spring PoPs! Performance, and I took dance classes.  Jazz class was great, and ballroom and latin ballroom pairs dancing was educational...it took a lot to let the guys lead when you knew what you were doing and they didn't.  I wish that I had time now for dance...and maybe it's something I need to work into my schedule...but it's something I suggest everyone try at least once.
