Attempting to adjust

Today was a long day, actually it was a long weekend. Our first weekend here without everything going on and to be honest, it was kind of depressing. I'm used to BBQs and all that fun stuff for memorial day & it was just drew & me. kinda. He did really well by helping me clean but the rest of the time was spent on the xbox. lol. i need to learn how to entertain myself better for sure but I am very lonely.

It's sad because I haven't been much of a "girls girl" until college-ish but i miss talking to girls my age & having friends around. my boss is older & well, drew isn't a girl (i greatly appreciate this lol) but anyways i had a long day & i'm tired so i'm just whining. & I honestly do love being married :)

Ok on to the recipe of the Soy Chicken which I thought was pretty good (drew said it's not near as good re-heated though)

2 Large Skinless Chicken breasts (I used 4 small ones)
2 TBSP Soy Sauce
1 TBSP Orange Juice (it calls for juice from an orange & i'm too lazy)
1/2 TBSP Olive Oil
Pepper
I added Garlic Salt because basically we (my parents) put garlic in everything

Marinate for at least 4 hours.
Bake in marinade at 400F for 20 minutes (check it) and then flip chicken over and cook for 10min.

The frozen chinese style veggies were good with this & brown rice. We have been trying to eat healthier & have been eating frozen broccoli like crazy. We put the frozen broccoli in a pan, cover it with water, bring water to a boil, and boil for 3 minutes. Drain. Add a little butter & garlic salt & voila. Best frozen broccoli I've EVER tasted. and my husband even likes it. lol

I'll save what we ate tonight for another blog because it was very good & very easy.

Hoping tomorrow I wake up with a better attitude. All this rain is killing me smalls.

Props to Hubby

Well, this post's sole purpose will be to recognize my wonderful husband. We have been living in a pig sty because we don't have enough space for all our stuff and it really drives me crazy! So I have been trying to keep the kitchen clean at all times because that is the only place I know where things go!

While I was in the shower today, Drew vaccuumed and straightened up our family room & it looks awesome! The bedroom still looks like a storage unit threw up in it but thats ok because at least everything outside of that is clean. So woohoo! Go Drew!

I am trying a new recipe tonight: Soy Chicken with chinese veggies (frozen bag) and brown rice. If it's any good, I'll give you the recipe :) We have a good thing going: whoever cooks, the other one does the dishes. I am very fortunate because I have a lot of friends whose husbands don't cook or clean so this works out great for both of us.

Anyways everything is good over at the Bombi house... Happy Memorial Day. I am so grateful for all who have and do serve our country. Thank you!!!
