The Big 300 Giveaway

I'm so excited to be celebrating with my friend Carrie this week!!  She hit over 300 GFC followers & over 300 Facebook likes!  So to help her celebrate a few of us have gotten together with Carrie & we're helping her host The Big 300 Giveaway!!!  So lets go, get to entering!!!   PS: If you haven't gotten the chance, stop by my Saturday Shout-Out & get to know Carrie a little better!!   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

So I am BEYOND thrilled that I not only reached over 300 blog followers this month, I also reached over 300 Facebook Page likes!  :)  All I can say is WOW and THANK YOU!!  Without all of you lovely readers & the fabulous bloggers who have been out there supporting and promoting my blog, I wouldn't be here, right? ;)

So, it is time for a HUGE giveaway this month!!  I am so, so grateful to all of my generous sponsors for chipping in some fabulous prizes for everyone.  

And because I want to spread the bloggy love around as much as possible, there will be EIGHT prizes and EIGHT lucky winners!!

So what you could you be the winner of in just one short week?  Let's take a look, shall we? ;)

(Psssstttt... each of my lovely sponsors is sharing with us what their absolute favorite Halloween candy is.  You know, the ones they stash away before handing out candy to the trick or treaters, or that they eagerly wait for the kids to go to bed so they can raid their candy buckets for it. ;) )

"My favorite candy to steal from my babies (haha) is the GOOD chocolate.  The Snickers, Milky Ways, Hershey's Bars, etc, etc. I'm a chocolate fiend."

"My favorite candy to high-jack: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups- they're always better when you get them Trick or Treating."

"My favorite candy are Nerds.  Grape Nerds to be exact!"

Mom's Test Meal Mondays #13

 

Welcome to another week of Mom's Test Meal Mondays!! 

 

I just want to say thank you to everyone that has linked up over the past few months!!  Y'all are the reason this party is a success and I am so appreciative!!  Last week we had almost 100 recipes linked up!  I was completely blown away!!

 

Tuesday is a big day here in the MTK household!  The Hubs turns another year older!  So this week we're going to honor the men in our lives by sharing our man-pleasing meals!!  Husbands, Dads, Sons ~ whatever makes those boys happy, we want to see it!!

 

To get us started, my absolutely amazing co-host, Meredith from Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home (seriously, don't you just love that name!) is sharing one of her Hubby's favs!  And I'm just going to tell y'all, I'm so excited for the recipe she's sharing!!  When she sent it over to me, I immediately emailed her back & told her I already had this recipe pinned!!  This would be a woman-pleasing meal in my household too!! :)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a relaxing weekend! I'm Meredith and I blog at Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home!

I started blogging this past January, so I'd say that makes me fairly new to the wonderful world of blogging! I like to share simple crafts, home decor ideas, recipes, and other easy DIY projects.

Thank you so much, Jaime, for inviting me to co-host this week's Test Meal Monday! I'm a huge fan of her blog and food (who isn't though, right)!? I was even more excited when she shared the theme of this week's party...
 

Man Pleasing Meals

 

I like to think that I have several "man pleasing meals" up my sleeve, but this one definitely tops the list lately for my husband!
 

Crunchy BBQ Chicken

 

I bet you've already got most of these items in your pantry too! You'll need:

boneless skinless chicken breasts (this recipe calls for two)

about 1 cup of crushed French Fried Onions

1/3 cup flour

your favorite BBQ sauce

salt & pepper to taste

Sprinkle salt and pepper on both chicken breasts (or however many you're making).

Crush about 1 cup of French Fried Onions and place in a shallow bowl. Add 1/3 cup flour and mix the two ingredients.

Cover the top of each chicken breast with your favorite BBQ sauce. Top with the crushed onions & flour mixture.

Turn the chicken over and repeat.

Bake at 375 for 20 minutes covered lightly with foil. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are golden brown.

Serve with your favorite veggies and some brown rice or a nice, hot baked potato!

I have a feeling this will be added to your weekly meal plan after you take your first bite!
 

Thanks again to Jaime for having me today as a co-host! I can't wait to try out all of your delicious recipes!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I know this is definitely going to be on my meal plan soon!!  Anyone else have a insane love for those french fried onions??  I love them!!
