Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.  Prepare a cooking sheet by lining it with tin foil (you will thank me later) and spraying with Pam cooking spray.



Cut each of your chicken breasts in half length wise.
















Mix together your Parmesan, Feta, Yogurt, Basil, Parsley, Salt and Pepper.
















Place a slice of Canadian Bacon, a quarter of your cheese mixture and 3 asparagus spears cut to fit on each half of chicken breast.  And roll up.  Place seam side down on your prepared cooking sheet. Cook at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. 












NOW...Let's start your Potatoes!  Heat up a large pan on medium high heat and spray with Pam cooking spray.  Add your diced Canadian Bacon slices and cook until crispy like bacon bits (just a couple minutes). 









FRESH, HEALTHY INGREDIENTS....NUMMMMY!



 Add your garlic right about now....and mix evenly with bacon bits.  Then add your sliced potatoes, parmesan, basil and salt / pepper to taste.  Cover and cook about 20 minutes - - should be done when chicken is done or close to it.  STIR and Toss it around every so often.







Woot!  Woot!  You are done!  Finished...WAAALAAA!  Lovely flavors....I'm SO glad this turned out!  I took pictures along the way HOPING it would :)

Spice Garden in the Kitchen


Spice Garden in the Kitchen

So I wanted fresh herbs...to do all my recipes with ... but without buying them already cut because they go bad.  HERBS were on SALE today!  Yahoo!
But....I also had this VISION in my head of what I wanted the pots to look like and........it wasn't at the store.  Soooooo, I bought a few craft items and here we ARE!

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!  I'M SO GLAD YOU STOPPED BY AND WOULD LOVE IF YOU CLICKED ON 'FOLLOW' TO BECOME A FOLLOWER!




Here are my supplies....


I started by painting each pot with this green paint I had left over in the garage from another project.  I LOVE this green...kind of an olive color.  I left some of the clay showing through to give it 'that' look.

Then I added sticker letters and a string to each of these tags I bought pre-made at the store.  I picked letters to label what was going into each pot of course. 

Then I glued each label to each pot and started painting dots around the rim of the pots.  I used the butt end of my paint brush and just dipped it into a cream colored craft paint I had in my craft cupboard.

Potted my plants in each one....and they are done!  Even put them on my window ledge above my sink BEFORE they were completely dry! :)




NOW...I HAVE MY OWN SPICES RIGHT IN MY OWN KITCHEN FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S RECIPE!  STAY TUNED....
