Chicken Marinade for Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks

I think I'm just gonna stick with the fact that my weeks are always going to be long and busy. No matter how much I try to have a break, it doesn't ever happen haha (during the week, not weekends luckily). It's OK though. Last Saturday Kevin and I were able to go out on an amazing date and it has been well worth the busyness. We went to the movies, out to lunch and dinner, we went to the doughnut shop, and watched the boxing match at the movie theater. He paid for ALL of it. It was so amazing and expensive and I'm super super lucky to have him in my life <3 nbsp="" p="">
Since this last week was beyond busy (dryer went out, parent/teacher conference, early out for Jace every day, just to name a few), I really didn't cook much this week. This recipe was made last week - I made it almost a week ago - it was a chicken marinade for chicken thighs or drumsticks. I let the marinade sit for two days. It was pretty spicy, so I do prefer the Soy Sauce/Honey marinades but if you like Wing Sauce and maybe a spicier marinade, this would be for you!

The original recipe was found HERE and below is our version.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Frank's Wing Sauce
2 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Cumin
1/2 Tsp Paprika
1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
1/4 Tsp Pepper
3 Chicken Thighs
3 Drumsticks

Directions:
Mix everything together in a large bowl and then add the chicken. Cover and marinade for 24-48 hours. Grill, bake or air fry chicken. We put ours in the Air Fryer at 350 degrees for 8 minutes per side. Enjoy with sides!

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
