Garden Tuesday- Garden Update

So in my previous post today I am kinda in  the process of moving from my home in Lockhart to my boyfriends parents house in Buda. My thoughts and plans for a fall garden are no more. I will not be having a fall garden this year maybe next year but for sure not this year. There is just to much going on right now! 

As for my plans for a spring/summer garden in 2015 I have no clue at this point if I will be having a garden next year. If I do decide to have a garden I am unsure as to where it will be. I might still have it at my current location because this years garden took very limited work and effort so I will be able to make it work with going over there once a week.

My Current Garden!

Two weeks ago I said that my tomatoes were dying and that I was going to pull them up and if your follow my Instagram you will know that I did indeed pull up all my tomato plants.

Left is before, right is after. Comment below if you can find the chicken! :D

I still have my basil, jalapenos, banana peppers,  poblanos and tomatillos still going strong. My chocolate mint and strawberries are dead. I did have a chance to pick anything from my garden this past week and I probably wont be able to this week either.

I'm sorry that this post is all over the place. :) I might not be able to blog as often as I should be but I promise I have not forgotten about you guys. Right now the best places to stay up to date with me is through Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Garden Tuesday- Garden Haul + Cuteness

There is not much change in my garden from last week so I will be showing yall my garden haul this week.

I got a bunch of Black Cherry tomatoes this week. Also this week I have noticed that my Chocolate Mint has started to die from the top of the plant to the bottom. I have no clue why but if anyone has an idea as to why comment below or on Facebook please.

Garden tip of the week:

Do your research when you start thinking about purchasing vegetable plants. Make sure that they can grow in your area/zone. Like for me I live in Texas zone 8-9 and summers here can reach 100+* F so I have to find plants that can tolerate the heat and not die. So do your research.

Prepare for cuteness!

They were about a week old here.

About 3 weeks ago now we had baby chicks hatch out at our house. Unfortunately 4 died and now we have 7 little baby chicks with two mamma hens. They are so cute! 

They were about a week old here.

These two mamas co-parent these little babies

We only have one dark baby left :/

These little one rap up this weeks Garden Tuesday. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram. Also don't forget to like our new Facebook page.

Munchie Monday- Chicken Parmesan

For this third week of Munchie Monday I will be showing yall my take on Chicken Parmesan! I can't believe this is already week 3 wow! :) I made this for two people but the recipe stays the same.

To make the chicken Parmesan you will need:

4 skinless chicken breasts (I use only 2)

1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 cup of grated Parmesan

3 large eggs (I used fresh eggs from my hens (: )

1/4-1/3 Olive oil

1 jar (16oz) spaghetti sauce

1 teaspoon crushed oregano

1 8 oz package of mozzarella cheese

3 cups of cooked pasta (I used rotini but you can use any pasta like ziti or penne)

2 tablespoons minced parsley

1 13" x 9" x 1 3/4" baking dish

Aren't the eggs colored pretty?

1. Preheat oven to 350*F (176*C). In a shallow bowl combine bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Crack the eggs in another shallow bowl (I only had one :( ) and beat thoroughly.

2. Dip chicken in the egg letting excess drip of, then chicken in bread crumb mixture, turning it to make sure it coated well. Repeat till all chicken is done.

3. In a skillet heat 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add two chicken pieces; saute 5 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown. Remove to plate with a paper towel to catch the oil drippings. Repeat with remaining chicken, add oil if needed.

4. In a small bowl or your baking dish combine spaghetti sauce and oregano; mix thoroughly. If you haven't already pour sauce into your baking dish. Arrange chicken in sauce mixture and cover loosely with foil. Bake for 40 minutes.

5. Remove foil and top each piece of chicken with 2-3 slices of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Place bake in the oven uncovered for 10 minutes.

6. To serve: Toss cooked pasta with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the parsley. Transfer chicken to individual plates and divide pasta among the plates. Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan.

That's this weeks Munchie Monday! Let me know if you make this delicious Chicken Parmesan and tag me on Instagram. tasty
