Baby Clara is here! We welcomed our little girl on December 8th and we have enjoyed every second with her. Being a parent is amazing! I love her more than food! We do call her muffin though.
Now that we are settled, into a routine and getting sleep (somewhat) again, I have been cooking dinner and making lunches. I am still home on maternity leave and am making the most of this mommy at home business.
I am a big fan of The Pioneer Woman and found this yummy recipe on Tasty Kitchen (which you can find through her blog or by clicking here). Derrick loved this because it was yummy and I loved it because it was easy and called for simple most likely in your fridge ingredients. The lemoniness is subtle which was a nice compliment to the crispy salty flavor of the chicken. I will definitely make this again, but next time I will add a little lemon zest to the sauce. I paired it with oven roasted potatoes and a light Asian salad. Mmm Mmm good!
The recipe can be found here: Lemon Chicken by Lindainmo
I hope all of my blogging friends are doing well. I am going to do my best to post again now that I am no longer pregnant. My goal, starting in February is to post at least once a week, but hopefully twice a week. We shall see!

Hey she's named like my name! You picked a great one. I hear all Claras are gorgeous, intelligent, creative and happy people. *wink* Congratulations on your new family addition. She's so beautiful. That smile is contagious. :)
That looks delicious and is making me hungry. Glad to see you back on the blogger! I am sure here in a few months I will be right where you were before Clara came! Oh, by the way thanks for the delicious cookie recipes, they were a hit!
Looking at that little muffin, you are totally forgiven for not blogging regularly.. She is such a cutey!!!!
The chicken looks delish!!!
CB- Hi Dear! You know I don't think I ever knew your real name! I never knew a Clara before but you are definitely cheerful and happy and beautiful so that's great for a namesake, right? :) We lived in San Jose, CA for 2 years (Santa Clara County) and named her after that Clara because we loved that time in our life so much. :)
Hailey- you'll be in my boat soon enough! Eventually I was so uncomfortable I couldn't think about cooking, much less blogging about it. It sounds like you are feeling pretty good though and I am so glad the cookie recipes worked out for you. I do think you need to post some bump shots though. :) Oh- and the bedding looks smashing!
Nina- HELLO! Thank you. :) We think she's pretty great! She is growing like a weed. Apparently I am not to bad at whipping up her "food" either. She is only 8 weeks old and weighs about 14 lbs. Chunky monkey. :)
Congrats, Janna! As I already said she's a doll! :)
Thanks for passing along what looks to be a winning meal in my house!
I'm thrilled to hear that you'll be back on a regular.

It's so good to have you back! Your little girl is too too cute! I'm about six months along with a little girl myself! They'll have to be blogging buddies :D. Enjoy the maternity leave! Loving this yummy meal :).
Thanks for the sweet comment :)! I am due on May 17th, I cannot wait to meet her. My husband and I are quite excited!
Congratulations! She certainly is a beautiful baby! What a great smile!
That meal looks delish!
She is beautiful. I love lemon chicken or anything lemon- I will have to make this soon.
I totally missed this! I have been skipping over your blog to mask the heartache I felt from missing your blog. LOL!! This looks great! I am about 2 weeks behind on my blog, but I have still made something new every week. It's harder when Joe travels. Looking forward to your weekly post!
Thanks for posting souch a gorgeous MUFFIN!
I'm going to try this recipe soon, one question, what salad dressing did you use?
Regards, Diane in CA.
