Mmm, glazed chicken {giveaway}

**Contest Closed**
Winners are #33 darrinmckoy and #56 Deadmonkeys90~ Congratulations!

I was so lucky to find split chicken breast on sale for 98 cents a pound. I prefer my chicken breast with the skin and bones because it makes it more juicy and flavorful. I decided to make some roasted chicken glazed with Country Bob's All-Purpose sauce. I had never tried that sauce before and I was anxious to see what all the hoopla was about. I have seen it in the store over the years and I always thought it was one of those watery sauces much like the consistency of soy sauce. I was shocked to see it had the body of a steak or barbecue sauce. Okay so I washed up my chicken and patted them dry. I dry seasoned them with my favorite spices and roasted them in the oven using a broil/bake method.


In the last 15 minutes of cooking I brushed a generous amount of Country Bob's sauce on to glaze my chicken. The aroma in my kitchen made your mouth water. My family could not wait to eat. I also cooked some black eyed peas, green beans and rice to go with the chicken (sorry forgot to take a picture of that part). We all loved how beautifully the sauce stuck to the chicken and it tasted delicious! My 14 year old called it "scrumdiddlyumptious". We had some extra sauce on the side and my husband already asked me to get some steaks for the weekend. He knows this sauce will be a great match with steak. I was thinking it would be great on salmon too. It has the perfect blend of sweet and tangy.

Country Bob's sent me a couple bottles of sauce to try out and has offered to give away two (2) bottles each for two (2) Momfiles readers.

Wordless Wednesday

He still holds on to his Carmex no matter what...

Homeschool or public school?

I am still trying to decide what to do with William. There is a HUGE part of me that wants to home school him. Then there is a tiny part of me that wants to send him to school. If I do send him to school then I would more than likely need to put him in preschool to get him used to a classroom setting. Oh what to do, what to do... This is one of those things I think about most of the day. I just don't know what to do!

Money Mama & The Three Little Pigs

If you have been reading Momfiles for some time now, you will know how important it is for our family to understand money. Our girls are doing an outstanding job in the money management department and are very smart shoppers. I received this wonderful book called Money Mama & The Three Little Pigs by Lori Mackey. It came with an audio CD that you can listen along to with the book. It's so cute because the narration is in children's voices. William is a little too young to follow along with the CD so I opted to read it to him instead. He was immediately drawn in from the great illustration. Although he does not have an understanding about the teachings of the book, he will get it over time. Money Mama & The Three Little Pigs explains all of the aspects of money management in a child-friendly way. I was thoroughly impressed with this book and I think it would make an excellent addition to any child's book collection. It would make an excellent gift for birthdays, holidays or as a "just because" gift.

In order for a child to learn about money, they must be taught early on. They will have a greater likelihood of making better decisions about finances when they are adults. You can purchase Money Mama & The Three Little Pigs here. Be sure to check out Prosperity4Kids, Inc. on Facebook and Twitter.

I received a copy of the book to review. All opinions are 100 % mine as always.
