Honey Glazed Chicken

Honey Glazed Chicken
from Kristen E on My Kitchen Cafe

2 lbs diced uncooked chicken breast
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

4 Tbsp butter, divided
1/4 cup honey
3 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp ground giner

Heat oven to 350. In a shallow dish combine the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken in the flour mixture and coat evenly.

Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a shallow baking dish, large enough to hold all of the chicken in a single layer. Arrange the chicken in the pan and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter and add honey, lemon juice, soy sauce and ginger. Simmer while the chicken is cooking for the first 30 minutes.

After chicken has baked 30 minutes, turn each piece over and pour sauce mixture evenly over the chicken. (I stirred the chicken around in the sauce with a spoon then put in all back into a single layer) Bake another 30-40 minutes, basting frequently (I didn't baste)

Serve over rice

Amy's Notes: I used 3 chicken breasts and it fed 2 adults and 2 kids, who both asked for 2nds. I might put some red pepper flakes in the sauce next time for a little extra kick. If you like sauce on your rice, double the sauce recipe. I thought it was fine without doubling the sauce, I just stirred it up with the rice on the plate.

Pumpkin Cookies

This recipes I'd like my friends to try.
I use it still and in days gone by.
When Autumn ripens squash like yellow gold.
They make a cookie fit for any jar to hold.
One half cup of shortening, butter is best,
Cream with 1 1/2 cups sugar, but do not rest
Until 2 beaten eggs are used, fresh from the nest then all success will follow in this test.
One cup of squash and one of raisins, ground
One cup of nuts in soft batter drowned.
One half teaspoon of cinnamon, the same of nutmeg too.
One half teaspoon of cloves sends flavor through and through.
With one teaspoon of soda, the same amount of salt
Will make four dozen cookies without a single fault.
All of these spices sifted with 3 cups of flour
Will bring you baking joy for work of just one hour.
By spoonfuls mold and drop upon a sheet
You'll find these nicely browned will be a treat.
(Bake at 375 12-15 min. I also use milk chocolate chips instead of nuts and raisins.)

Flylady Spaghetti Sauce

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp minced garlic
28 oz crushed tomatoes with puree (I used petite diced also)
2 Tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Heat olive oil and saute garlic, be careful not to brown the garlic. Add the tomatoes and then the spices, stir well and let simmer for 15 minutes, serve over pasta

Amy's notes: I found this on flylady.net. It is a quick and easy spaghetti sauce recipe that my kids love. Just don't go overboard on the red pepper flakes. I used it for many of my marinara sauce needs. Michael likes it smoother, so I will stick in the food processor.
