Dinner: Lemon & Basil Chicken (A) with Bowtie Pasta (S)
Today was a crazy day! While Eva was eating her breakfast, chocolate chip pancakes, I made the Three Berry Scone for myself. The next time I make this, I won't use so much milk, it was really goopy and I literally dumped it on a cookie sheet and baked it. It tasted ok, but didn't fill me up either. I probably won't make this again. Last night, I made Joey & Eva's snack and Eva's lunch and put them in the fridge. I had to bring Joey to Children's in Milwaukee by 9, so I had to get him ready and bring him with when I drop Eva off at school. After Joey's appointment, I dropped him off at school and made my lunch. Having the hummus on the tortilla was good, but the next time, I'm going to add some chicken to it! While the trips were in school, I thawed some boneless, skinless chicken, then poured juice from one lemon and sprinkled with basil. Put it in the fridge for later. Also took the clothes out of the washer that I threw in this morning, put in the dryer, and refilled the washer. Then I ran to get Eva from school, rushed back home to catch the triplets off of the bus, then ran up to north Racine for Eva's dr's appointment. Then I had to bring Eva to the Y for her swimming lessons, so it was 5:30 by the time I got home. I just heated a little olive oil in the pan and seared the chicken breasts. I mixed 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water, then added it to the lemon juice. I had grated the lemon peel before I juiced the lemon, and added that to the liquid. I poured it into the pan, brought it up to a boil, and let it boil until it was thick. Then I turned down the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes. While the chicken was cooking, I reheated the bow tie pasta we got from S.H.A.R.E., then added 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. In my other microwave, I heated up some sugar snap peas. Dinner was on the table by 6:10!! whoo, hooo! The kids LOVED the chicken, which surprised me because the lemon was strong. Yup, we'll make that again!
