Mango-Habanero Chicken

Made some Mango-Habanero Salsa Chicken today!

Check it out:

We picked up some salsas from Blue Jay Orchard


We decided to make dinner out of the Mango-Habanero Salsa


We breaded organic chicken by dipping the chicken in egg, then flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.

We sauteed the chicken in olive oil and then covered the chicken in a pan with a dusting of shredded cheese and the salsa from the Orchard.


We then put the chicken in the oven on 350 for about 30 minutes.



Voila! 


Served with green beans steamed with minced onions and dill.

Yum!

Embark on a voyage into the unknown

Columbus Day...

While people question having a holiday in honor of Christopher Columbus, there is something behind what we celebrate each year that gives me reason to pause and think.

How many times do we choose to take a chance when we are given the opportunity to do so?
How many times do we fight to break down the boundaries of what society thinks is possible?
How many times do we pursue a journey without being able to predict the outcome?

This type of adventure does not have to be an external one, it could be internal.
Forgiving the unforgivable, loving people who do not deserve it, conquering personal goals, embracing the new. 

Kevin and I have some big things coming up in the "new" department this year - we are having a baby in April!

We could not be more happy about the timing in our life and to bring a life into this world that will bring so much life into our world. There are so many new things that we have learned so far and so much more to learn. A major journey.

Our prayer is that we can truly take time to enjoy this stage in our life. To see change as an opportunity to explore a new world. One that is filled with so many hopes and dreams.

Someone couldn't stay awake for the entire debate!


Bridgette (our cat) watching the Presidential Debates


The Debates

With the political debates around the corner, I think it's time for a political post.

As a passionate person, I have strong beliefs about everything. Particularly on the topics of capitalism, international relations, and human rights.

However, above all, I believe that the pursuit for intellectual enlightenment and respect for all people is far more important than the pursuit to be "right".

My hope is that after the debates, we will all walk away with a greater knowledge about what is going on in the world and that the candidates can put mudslinging aside for a healthy conversation that presents unique, actionable strategies to help solve the problems in the world.
