Teriyaki Chicken Sliders

This was a quick dinner idea last week. Had some chicken... was craving Kings Hawaiian Rolls.. and had some teriyaki glaze.. Done. These were delicious!! I might cut the strips of chicken a little differently the next time I do it, so they fit better on the rolls, but if you are ok with a little bit of mess, just dig in with these! I served it up with an Chinese chicken salad on the side.

1 jar of Teriyaki glaze

1 tablespoon coconut oil

chicken breasts or thighs

1 orange pepper, diced

1 teaspoon garlic poweder

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

salt and pepper

Kings Hawaiian Rolls

Chinese chicken salad (or your other fav salad)

Directions:

• Dice up your chicken and add it to a bowl. Add all of the seasonings and mix. 
• If you have time, let it marinate in the fridge for at least an hour - up to overnight. 
• In a large pan, saute the pepper in the coconut oil.
• Add chicken and cook all the way through. 
• Serve on your rolls! 

First Day of School!

Today marks Stephen's first day of school - first day with his own classroom, his own rules, his own chair, and his own lesson plans. I am so incredibly proud of him, I could burst! Unfortunately this morning I was out the door before he was dressed and ready so I didn't get to take that "first day picture" that everyone seems to get. Maybe tonight :) I can't believe how incredibly lucky I am to have married this stud! Below is a pic I was able to snap of him last week when we were getting his classroom ready. Stephen - you are doing the job God has asked you to do, nothing but amazing things are coming for you!

CrossFit Level 1 Training

Melissa, Teresa and I attended the Level 1 CrossFit Training class last weekend (Aug 17-18). I learned SO much and took away so many awesome tips for how to improve not only my training, but others. Lets hope I passed the test! Our trainers were Russel Berger, Michelle (her last name escapes me) and Neal Maddox (he was #9 in the 2013 CrossFit Games). So awesome to spend some time with Melissa and Teresa, see where the CrossFit Games started (CrossFit Ranch, Aromas, CA), and do something I love.
