This is our life...

So we created a blog, a what, a blog - ever heard of it? Well our goal is to keep our family and friends in the know, regarding the craziness that is our lives. We got married on January 21st, 2006 and are loving life together! May 11th, 2007 we had our first child - an amazing little girl named Kristen. God has blessed us more than I could have ever imagined. If you leave a comment, please be sure to put your name! Ryan and Sherry

My Fav Chicken Recipe

I am very blessed to be married to a man who will eat almost anything! Ilove trying new recipes and if I don't like them, Ryan will eat it! I wanted to share one of our favorite recipes. It's one I've had for years. The ingredients can get a little pricey, but it is worth it!!

Greek Feta Chicken

4 chicken breasts
1 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup chopped, drained artichoke hearts
1 jar sun-dried tomatoes
2 T chopped, pitted black olives
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
1 T toasted pine nuts (I use more-yum!)
2 ou feta cheese, crumbled (I use the whole container- what calories?)

Marinate chicken in italian dressing and put in the fridge at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350. Coat a baking dish with Pam and arrange drained chicken in it. Bake for 20 minutes. Mix all other ingredients except feta. Top each chicken breast with the mixture and put feta on top. Return to oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is softened. Serve immediately.

If you try it, let me know how you like it in the comments!!

Update

It wasn't until we went to Brushy Creek last Sunday that we realized we have done a bad job of keeping everyone updated on our crazy life! Well, we are having another baby. S/he is due November 19th. I am very excited to be seeing my second trimester approaching in a couple of weeks! We have been telling Kristen that she is going to be a big sister, but I don't think she really understands that she will be sharing the spotlight! ;)
We are in Greenville right now. I am sorry if we haven't gotten to see everyone- we have been visiting 3 to 4 sets of people a day! Whew! Tomorrow we are renting a Penske and moving our family to Summerville, SC. Ryan is going to be working as a manager for a CFA there. We are excited to be near the beach and to be closer to family.
Kristen will turn a year old (where does the time go?) this Sunday- Mother's Day! We are so excited to be in Summerville for her birthday! Ryan has something special planned for me that day for Mother's Day. It will be a NICE break from all of the chaos!!
Happy Mother's Day to all of the Moms out there!!
