Simple and Delicious Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs don't get enough attention in my opinion. I know that everyone loves the boneless skinless chicken breast...but have you tried the thigh? The meat is so much more moist, so much more flavorful and even though the thigh is a smaller cut it is so much more filling. If you're looking for a simple and delicious recipe that's fit for company but easy enough for a weeknight then look no further. With a few simple ingredients you can create a restaurant style meal. Let me show you how. INGREDIENTS Bone in, skin on chicken thighs Bacon - 2 slices per thigh Your favorite bottled sauce. I used Sweet Baby Ray's Garlic Parmesan DIRECTIONS Remove the skin from each of the chicken thighs, then brush with the sauce. Wrap each thigh with bacon. I used 2 slices per thigh Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until the chicken is done - about 20-25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush it with more sauce Se

A day at the St Louis Zoo

You can visit a world class zoo and not have to pay to get in. You won't find that in many major cities. Our trip to the zoo was on a clear,

Easy Vegetable Soup - Simple and Delicious

As a matter of fact I made vegetable soup or the kids at school (I was a teacher for a large part of my life) once a week. It's a great way to get kids involved with the preparation by getting them child safe choppers to use to chop the veggies. The ingredients are simple and can be tailored to what you have on hand. For this pot of soup I used the basics; onions, carrots, celery and potatoes. Then I added some garlic because it's so good for you. Some spinach, and a can of tomatoes. For the broth or what the kids used to call "the juice" I used my favorite soup base-- L.B. Jamison's. For
