Coconut Chicken with Pineapple Corn Salsa

I came across this meal when I had the chance to enjoy the leftovers of it from my aunt a couple weeks ago. It was so good that I had to make it myself! So, last night I got in the kitchen and went for it. Man oh MAN is it good :)

So first, I like to gather every ingredient I need for my meal and take a pretty picture! :)

Here I have the chicken ready to become one with the egg, coconut and cornflakes!

Then into the oven it goes!

While the chicken cooks, I made the salsa

Then voila! A meal fit for any king!!!

At the end, I drizzled some honey on top of the chicken and OH MY! Life changer let me tell you...

• 3/4 cup crushed cornflakes
• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 can of corn

• 1 red bell pepper

I served this meal with rice, but do whatever works for you! Hope you enjoy!

Let's Get... Organized

Oh the trials of obtaining an organized life! As school begins again tomorrow and work the following week, I begin to set out on a get fit, eat healthy, bible reading, school passing, work going, housewife dominating schedule. Too much? Perhaps, but I am optimistic and feel the need to succeed. This is not a new thing, just a continuous path of seeking the perfect route that works for me. You have to strive for something, right? I know that I will trip along the road and take on a pint of ice cream rather then a three-mile run, but I am human (and a sucker for sugar… so sue me)! I am going to fail and that is okay. I am not perfect, nor am I trying to be. I just strive to better myself as a wife, student, employee and human a little more everyday. So with that, this blog is for me to rant about my failures and triumphs, workouts and recipes, devotions and inspirations, house cleaning, decorating, and other things that make me, ME! So without further ado, lets A-DO this! (Yeah, slight geek alert too).

P.S. Power to the mammas that take on all this and children too! Woo!
