Breadcrumbs!

So last Sunday I had Holly, Jonny, and Kirstin over to my apt for dinner. I've been making good dinners for myself everyday but this was my first real all out Sunday Dinner. I decided to make stuffed chicken. So I got all the stuff I needed to make the chicken with and was excited til Satruday night when I was going to bed and realized that I didn't have breadcrumbs! I wanted to make the chicken breaded, so that was a problem....Sunday after church while trying to decide what to do instead I thought why not make my own!? So I did....so I decided to put the recipe I used up:)

I breaded 3 chicken breasts and 5 slices of normal bread was just a little more than enough...

So I took 5 slices of bread and put them on an ungreased cookie sheet...





Bake the bread on 300 for 10-15 min...turn them over halfway through to make sure it gets dried evenly throughout.











Then the insides of the bread were still a little bit moist so I broke them apart and put them back in the oven for about 5 min til it all crumbled easily... Then place the pieces in a blender/chopper/food processor and pulse them until they are at the desired consistency. (make sure to shake it up every once in awhile to get the bigger chunks to the bottom so you aren't turning some into dust while leaving others as big chunks)

And then when you have all of the bread blended to the consistency you like add any spices you like depending on what you are making and what bread you use. I just used normal wheat bread and I added Italian seasoning and garlic salt for a bit of extra flavor :) It was fun and ended up being really tasty!

#104

Ok as promised here is a post about the new apartment #104! Lexi, Katrina, Jenna, and I are all getting along very well and loving our new place :) It is so nice to be able to sit in the living room and cook good dinners for ourselves and all of that. The pictures aren't the best but they give at least an idea of how it is!









Here is the kitchen, to the right when you walk in the front door. Lexi is cleaning :) The washing machine/dryer is in the closet next to lexi across from the fridge.

Here is the entry way to the dining and living room and the dining room.












This is our living room w/ some guests over watching the BYU v OK game! Yeah cougars :D

And this is the sink part of mine and lexi's bathroom. The toilet and shower is a room to the right...we went for a yellow and blue beach theme for the bathroom

And finally my room! Which is across the hall from the bathroom
