Swim lessons

We have been getting Rachel some swim lessons with Collin at the Y. She has improved quite a lot and has become pretty comfortable in the water. She just needs to look at the bottom of the pool when swimming and take a breath with her mouth. Using your nose takes to long to take a big inhale. He Suggested getting her a nose plug so she gets used to doing it.

This is my grilled chicken caprese. I came up with it because I always love the classic caprese flavor combination. It was very good and has become a huge hit with whoever I share it with.

Grilled Chicken Caprese

chicken cutlets (breasts, halved)
Pesto
olive oil
kosher salt
tomatoes, diced
fresh mozarella

Marinate the chicken in pesto thinned with a little olive oil and kosher salt for anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours.
Toss the diced tomatoes in a little olive oil and kosher salt. let sit while you start to grill the chicken.
Heat the grill. leave one side high and turn the other low. lay the chicken on the cooler side of the grill. When you flip the chicken to cook the second side, smear the cooked the side with some extra pesto (not from the marinade. We don't want to make people ill) and top with the diced tomatoes and cheese.
Close the lid and continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through.

spring break

We enjoyed the spring break and went to the zoo with Sarah. We were there right when it opened but it was still crazy busy.

 

Freezing rain

We have had a longer and colder than usual winter. This was in Feb. we got some freezing rain. Lots of accidents and people working from home or staying home. The car had a nice little shell of ice coating it.

Hazel eating

She skipped the whole baby food thing wanted nothing to do with it. She is starting to get the eating thing.

Pigeons at the Zoo

We fed the birds while we waited for the zoo to open. Well we fed the bird and Rachel if you notice she snacks on the bread too

Blockbuster

My brother Eric works at the same blockbuster that I did. They had a marvel vs. Capcom challenge and everyone dressed up. SO fun.
