Moo Moo Moose

This was supposed to be my Wednesday post but my days are all wonky due to being off work Monday.....

This moose artwork was made for someone in the Ongoing Wish Swap.  The orginial artwork it was inspired by actually had a cow painted on by my partner requested a moose.  I cut strips of paper in the colors she indicated then glued them on one by one to a sheet of paper.  I then cut out a stencil of the moose and painted him on.  It was originally framed by it broke in transit. 

I love seeing the different things that people interesting.  This is something I would have never thought to do on my own but now I have a ton of ideas with lots of different animals in mind.

Foodie Friday-Chick-Fil-A Knockoff

So if you know me personally you know that I LOVE Chick-Fil-A!  I could seriously eat there everyday and not get sick of it.  Adia doesn't like it though (she's crazy) so it's usually a lunch treat for me and my best girly friend. They have the best chicken nuggets and sandwiches ever!  Now since they use a special method to cook the chicken I don't think I could ever really replicate the orginal but this comes pretty close! 

You will need:

1 egg

1 cup milk

1 lb. boneless chicken breasts

1 1/4 cup flour

2 Tbsp powdered sugar

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp chili powder

Oil

In a large bowl whisk milk and egg together

Cut the chicken into bite sized chunks

Add the chicken to the milk mixture and let soak for at least 30 minutes

In another large bowl combine the dry ingredients listed above and stir

Heat up your oil

Dredge a few peices of chicken at a time into the flour mixture then toss them into the hot oil

Cook each side for until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle 

Repeat the same steps with the rest of the chicken and serve

It is sweet and salty perfection!  You could even serve these with baked waffle fries for the full Chick-Fil-A effect!

Love Bomb

This week the Love Bomb mission is for a blog that I nominated, Ellison Kate.  I don't know this family personally but heard about their story through a friend on Facebook.  I can't even imagine what this couple is going through.  Matt and April just lost their daughter Ellison on 08/28/2011.  She was 12 weeks old.  Ellie's big sister Maddy also passed away in 2010.  My heart is breaking for this family and I know they are deserving of some love.  So please take a minute to visit their blog and leave a comment showing your support.
