Ritz Chx Bizitch


We begin with a preheated oven at 375 F
      •1 package of chicken drumsticks (5)
      •1 sleeve of original Ritz crackers
      •1 shallow bowl and a fork
      • spices (I used adobo, salt, lemon pepper, and mixed Italian spices)
      •1 broiler pan with water in the bottom portion
      • approximately 1/4c olive oil


Crush up the crackers, use as little or as much seasoning in addition to the crackers as you like, then mix them together with your hands


Pour olive oil onto cracker/spice mix and stir with the fork until all of the crackers are evenly moistened with the oil



Rinse and pat dry the drumsticks so the breading sticks


Coat the chicken with the breading by pressing the chicken into it, sprinkle some on top with your fingers and press that down until they are evenly coated. Lay them over the slots in your broiling pan.


Sprinkle any excess bread crumbs onto the chicken and pan around it. Place into the 375 degree oven in the center for 55 minutes.


When you pull the pan out be careful not to allow the water in the underside to slosh about and burn you. Serve and enjoy!!

** if you are serving your chicken with macaroni and cheese, you can use the crumbs in the pasta to make for an amazing side dish. The same goes for a salad! **


TaDa!!

This is Where I'm At

My name is Caitlin. I am a mother of one, and I happen to be growing the second and I find my life to be complete and comfortable and just plain....right.


My husband Nicolas works many many hours so that I can stay home with our son, Vincent, and when she arrives, our daughter, Abigail. It is a lovely existence, a lovely co existence. I'm directly responsible for many of the things my son learns, and I get to experience them almost always first.


I've decided to begin blogging because I used to, and it was a lot of fun. There are other reasons in my brain I'm sure, but blogging will carry me through those reasons I'm sure, my mind is very disparaging with explanations on its workings.


To complete my first, awkward blog (I'll get better, promise!) I'll post one of the most recent pictures of my son Vince and I solemnly swear to charge my camera that has been without a charger for months



I made this costume after Nintendo's Legend of Zelda (Link) the only character my son had ever shown a fascination for (until Diego of course)

This was October 31st, 2011
There will be MANY more photos to come
