One day last week

One day last week I made the Babys favorite dinner, will one of his many favorite dinners anyway. I took some pictures and forgot all about them. Will here they are. I don't have a actual recipe but I can tell you how I put it all together.
Line your pan with foil , season chicken legs
with lemon pepper and salt and paper.Bake for about 20 min. at around 350
Pour off excess fat
I saute onion and butter until tender...add ketchup, lemon,some seasonings a little sugar and stake sauce. Dip the legs and put back in to the oven for about 45min. Just before serving I turn the heat up to around 450 to get that dark brown look.


Pan fried potatoes with green onion
I boil the potatoes for about 15 min before frying them


I hope you give this chicken a try....The kids love it!!

Love Julia

I have some good pics from Sunday. DH and I along with the boys ,went to Church and had lunch afterwards. I also invited my Sister and her MF( man friend ) and Nicky, my sweet little man for lunch and a swim. We all enjoyed some homemade soup and sandwich's....complements of my DH. It was wonderful to have everyone over...It was a great end to a good week.

There is always music when the boys around

Little Yada loves to watch the show



The boys where realy enjoying just being together

I feel so blessed that they are so close

They were playing some kind of game where you have to guess what the other is saying under water...If you get it worng you get a punch in the arm.

My little man Nicky with his Uncle ...My DH
