Garlic and Herb Chicken with Romesco Sauce

Ingredients:
5 Garlic Cloves
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley leave
salt and pepper
1/2 tbsp thyme
4 -6 to 8 oz boneless chicken breasts
1 cup sliced almonds ( i didnt put any in bc we arent fans of almonds)
1 slice sandwich bread
1 roasted red pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 plum tomato

What to do:
In a food processor combine 3 of the garlic cloves, 1/4 EVOO , the parsley leaves, salt, pepper, and thyme. Process the ingredients to a somewhat smooth paste. Scrape the contents of the processor over the chicken and coat in mixture. 
Preheat large skillet over medium heat then add seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook on each side about 5 mins. ( if your chicken is thick i cooked em till it was browned on stove then put in oven for 35 mins at 420)
While chicken is cooking toast almonds in skillet (if u decide to use them )
Toast the slice of bread till browned, and then rip apart the sliced toast and add to the bowl of the food processor ( no need to clean out bowl of processor, being as the flavors from chicken mixture will help with the sauce)
add roasted peppers, the remaining 2 garlic cloves, red wine vinegar, plum tomato , salt and pepper. Start processing and while the machine is running pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of EVOO in a slow steady stream. Process until ingredients are ground and the mixture is pretty smooth.

now what i did was make spaghetti, and after draining, i put EVOO , garlic salt,powder, cloves,dillwedd, oregano leaves, instead of sauce.
then i put spaghetti on plate, chicken ontop and the romesco sauce ontop of it all. Dump it on, so it will also form as a spaghetti sauce for the spaghetti.

Soooo Goood trust me.
A few notes.
i didnt use almonds, i used minced garlic about a tablespoon total instead of cloves, and the thyme was already ground, and in a spice jar... so Good luck i hope you guys like it!!!

2011

 Well here we are about n4 months into 2011 and it seems to me like its goin by pretty fast already. I cant wait for the SUmmer to be here, its my favorite season of them all and im so excited to have a busy and fun one!!!
April i turn 25. holy cow, im getting old!!! Still no kids yet, im not really in a rush for any, id like to pay off some more bills before we add another huge one to the list!! I know your never really ready financially but we would like to be a lil more prepared. DOnt get me wrong ive been wanting one like crazy and have actually bought childrens clothes for when i do  have one. *hey if its on a good sale gotta get it right then and there right?*  hoping i get a boy bc thats all ive been buying clothes wise. lol.  If anything im sure someone i know iwll have a boy and i can always gift them to them if i dont get lucky and get a boy. haha. but like i said, no rush.. i will admit though i love hanging out with Rachels son Mason. its been definately good practice!! Hes so damn cute so not only am i mommy in training, im enjoying my time with them while they are here! I love being Auntie Tiffabeee. Ive never really gotten the chance to be a Auntie and i love that Rach and her family is ok with me being "auntie T" that kid has my heart for sure. He melts me when he smiles and man o man rach are we gonna have our hands full when he gets older! Im fully prepared to beat girls off with A STICK!!  a picture of him is below.

SO this summer, im fully ready to have bbqs, pool time, go to the beach, camp, lakes, rivers, amusement parks, and just stay busy and get my nice tan back!!! Im so white its disgusting!  But a good thing about us Italians is we tan pretty well!!! yay us!

Im still working at Kohls (hate it) but its better than nothing, im waiting to hear back from a couple places for new jobs so i can get outta retail for good. I think 7 years of it is long enough ( not 7 in one place but 7 total) ive had enough of it....

March 21st was mine and Mikes 2 year wedding Anniversary!!! WE couldnt do our traditional Sea World trip bc of the rain but we still had a amazing day of adventuring out to Hollywood. I cant really understand why people are obsessed with it there.... its not pretty and smells really dirty. i think i washed my hands at least 15x when we got back from there just because i felt really gross. i dont know... thats just me.

anywho i guess i got bored and felt like blogging, but i think ive rambled long enough!!! If i dont talk to you before then, have a good weekend!!! and lets plan something this summer!!!!!

Mason at 5 months

Mike and I at Fridays on our Anniversary Dinner.

If i could describe a hero.

So i found this online and it totally hits so close to home for me and i believe every word that it states. Hope this can open up peoples eyes






IF I COULD DESCRIBE A HERO



AND YOU'D ASK ME WHAT IT WOULD BE?






A FIREMAN I WOULD ANSWER AND THIS IS WHY YOU SEE






THEY GO INTO A FIRE NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL.


THEY DO NOT HESITATE ONCE, AFTER YOU HAVE PLACED THAT CALL






FORGETTING ABOUT THEMSELVES AND DOING WHAT THEY LOVE AND KNOW


THIS IS NOT AN ACT NOR IS IT A SHOW






THEY WILL RACE DEEP WITHIN THE HEART OF A FIRE WE CALL THE BEAST


TO THEM BEATING IT IS THEIR ULTIMATE FEAST






TO THEM THIS IS THEIR JOB AND WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO


BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS WHERE THE UTMOST RESPECT IS DUE






RESPECT IS WHAT THEY DESERVE FROM EVERYONE ALL THE TIME


NOT JUST WHEN THEY LOOSE A BROTHER WHILE FIGHTING THAT FRONT LINE






FOR ALL THAT HAVE COME TO PAY THEIR RESPECT WHICH IS GREATLY DUE


JUST GO HOME AND THINK WHAT A FIREMAN MEANS TO YOU






THEY DO NOT RESPECT YOU PART OF THE TIME


OR ELSE THEIR LIVES THEY WOULD NOT LAY ON THE LINE






SO THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE A FIREMAN THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO


TELL THEM THEY ARE LOVED AND GIVE THEM THE RESPECT THEY ARE DUE






THIS COMES TO YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART


I WANT ALL YOU FIREFIGHTERS TO KNOW MY LIFE YOU ARE A PART






I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND HOPE YOU'LL ALL STAY SAFE


I KNOW AT LEAST IN MY HEART YOU ALL HAVE A SPACE






LOVE YOU GUYS
