What Is A Mother?
A mother is someone to shelter and guide us,
To love us, whatever we do,
With a warm understanding and infinite patience,
And wonderful gentleness, too.
How often a mother means swift reassurance
In soothing our small, childish fears,
How tenderly mothers watch over their children
And treasure them all through the years.
The hearth of a mother is full of forgiveness
For any mistake, big or small,
And generous always in helping her family
Whose needs she has placed above all.
A mother can utter a word of compassion
And make all our cares fall away,
She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter
And make life delightful and gay.
A mother possesses incredible wisdom
And wonderful insight and skill-
In each human heart is that one special corner
Which only a mother can fill!
I also wanted to share a recipe that I cooked up last night. Everyone raved about it, so I thought it would be fun to share.
BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN (I didn't say it was healthy...but it's OH SO GOOD!)
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 boneless/skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz's ea)
- 1 carton cream cheese (we've done both herb/garlic and chive/onion)
- 1 tbsp butter
- salt to taste
- bacon strips (calls for 6, I adjust accordingly)
PREPARE:
- preheat oven to 400*
- flatten chicken to 1/2" thickness
- spread cream cheese and add a little dot of butter and salt
- roll up and wrap with bacon
- place seam side down in greased 13x9" baking dish and bake uncovered for 35-40 min's or until juice runs clear
- broil 6" from heat for 5 min's until bacon is crisp
I added my own spin on it by pre-cooking mushrooms and bacon and adding a strip of bacon and mushrooms in the middle before rolling it up. I cooked it at 350* for about an hour, instead of 400* and it turned out really nice. Once it was done, I covered it with spaghetti sauce and shredded cheese and put back in oven till cheese was melted. Was very good!
Enjoy!
