Thai Coconut Chicken!

So tasty! This was a little bit of an inspired meal for me.

Thai Coconut Chicken

2 lbs chicken tenders
Panko Bread Crumbs
3/4 cup. sweetened coconut
2 eggs

1 can pineapple tidbits, drained and reserve juice
1 T. Red Curry paste (or whatever kind you like)
3 T. soy sauce
1/2 can. coconut milk
1/3 c. chopped onion(I used a white onion because I didn't have green onion)


Preheat over to 375 degrees

In a bowl, whisk eggs until beaten. Set aside. Mix bread crumbs and coconut together and spread out on plate. Dip thawed chicken tender in egg then bread/coconut mixture. Place on greased cookie sheet for baking. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Place in over and cook for 20-22 minute until coconut starts to brown and juices run clear.

In sauce pan, mix 1/2 can of pineapple tidbits, 1/2 the reserved pineapple juice, curry paste, coconut milk, chopped onion, and soy sauce. Simmer until it is 1/2 reduced and starts to thicken a little.

Plate chicken tenders and ladle small amount of sauce over each portion. Enjoy!

You could serve this over rice and make more of the sauce by doubling the sauce portion of the recipe. Since Rich is a little sensitive to curry, I put it in a bowl and we dip each bit in the sauce to our liking.

This is a fly by because I'm about to head out for work....

Trent had a very 'Trent' morning

He shut himself in the shower and was yelling 'epppppp beees!' (Help Please!)I found him standing behind the glass panel, smiling and holding a bottle of shampoo. Luckily, it wasn't open.

Then he dunked a whole roll of toilet paper in the tank. Thank goodness for high volume toilets that don't clog. He did tell me this was 'uck' and then giggled.

Throwing mega blocks everywhere is fun. Booooom! Through the banister you say? What a fantastic idea, I'm sure mommy will love stepping on one of these.

He got a pen and went to town on sister's cardboard castle. She probably won't be too upset about that.

Throwing pretzels was great fun while watching cartoons. So much for vacuuming this morning.

Books thrown off the shelf for at least the third time before noon.

What? I'm not suppose to eat kitty food? He takes a nibble once a week, I guess just to make sure it hasn't gotten tasty.

Look! I have this weird black rubber thing on a stick. Noooo, that's the toilet bowl plunger! How did you get that!

Ooooo, mommy's new phone. Let me throw that on the floor a couple times.

(there seems to be a throwing things and toilet theme going on.)

And then, we fell asleep snuggling our 'bebe' in the car seat during preschool pickup. Such an angel when he sleeps, mommy can't be upset with his chaos for long.

Crayons As Art!

Found a bunch of people melting crayons on Pinterest.....then my brain went to work tweaking the idea.

Here's what I came up with.
