TweetDespite my intentions of posting about a crafty type project, I just didn’t get around to it this week. I promise next time I will be crafty.   Well, our two oldest daughters were home from college this weekend. That means they want Momma’s home cooking. That also means no relaxing for Momma. That’s ok though, I love having them home.   I have to admit that since the holidays this past year, I’ve gotten a bit lazy about making dinner. We’ve been hitting the drive-thru a lot more that we should. I get tired of making the same things over and over again. Pinterest has definitely helped in this area. In the past few months, I’ve tried a lot of new recipes. Most have been hits, including this one…..   Source: the-girl-who-ate-everything.com via Oh So Pinteresting on Pinterest     Honey pecan glazed salmon. Doesn’t it just sound yummy? I can’t think of any honey glazed things I wouldn’t like. I did a quick Google search to see what I could find honey glazed-ham, carrots, chicken, scallops, turkey….Yes, yes and yes!

I guess I could ask my imaginary personal chef  who looks just like Ryan Reynolds to feed it  to me while vacationing on my private island. Hmmmm….. Oh yeah, back to reality! Well, I gave it a shot despite the absence of Ryan and no beach in sight.     The ingredients were really common stuff. The hubby was able to easily find what I didn’t have in the pantry at our local Wally World. I hate when I find a recipe that looks yummy and I haven’t even heard of most of the ingredients much less where to find them. Don’t You?     Drum roll please……… It was a Success!!!! Thumbs up from the entire family (that rarely happens here). My hubby even asked me to make it again. In the words of the infamous Martha Stewart,”it’s a good thing”. I served the leftovers for lunch the next day. It had thickened up a bit so I added a bit more chicken broth and it was fine.     The next time I make it I’ll tweak it by adding some Italian seasoning, zucchini and maybe some mushrooms.
