my life in a new city
 
since i only have 2 of the kids this week, its easier to plan dishes. i took parker to the grocery after school and asked what she wanted for dinner. she replied, "LEMON CHICKEN!" i paniced. ive never made lemon chicken before, let alone ate it. so i thought, how hard could it really be?! at first i started goggling recipes and decided i would make something up myself. parker helped and it turned out delicious.  i just kinda grabbed things around the kitchen i thought would go well and this is what we came up with. 

enjoy!
