Life is Simple


This past weekend I had special olympics state for handball! Instead of being a coach I was a partner. So I got to play with them! My team ended up getting 4th place! It didn't matter what place we got just that we got a ribbon or medal! It was such a fun time, the only downfall was that is was 4 1/2 to 5 hours away, in Bottineau, North Dakota. The perfect example of a small town.
The next we have is basketball and that starts tomorrow! I'm very excited for that to start! I will be coaching a more experienced Higher functioning team!!! Here is a picture of my handball team! :)



On Saturday night my boyfriend (Jordan) and I made this recipe! And it was delicious!!
Breaded Chicken with Avocado Recipe I got it from taste of home.com!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 4 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 slices ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onion

Directions

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the cornmeal, cornstarch, garlic salt and cumin. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg and water. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; dip into egg mixture, then place in the bag and shake to coat.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil. Cook chicken for 4 minutes on each side or until chicken juices run clear. Top with cheese and avocado; cover and cook until cheese is melted. Garnish with sour cream and onion. Yield: 2 servings.
We are really into trying new recipes! If you have something we should try, let me know!! So if you like avocados I definitely recommend this recipe!

God bless,
