Ready for the weekend + a recipe!

I am really, really ready for the weekend....been one of those weeks, friends.  I am praying for sunshine - the last 2 weekends have been completely rainy!  We did manage to take Hadley to a movie and she made it through the entire thing!  We saw the Croods on Sunday (very cute movie, by the way!) and she had a really good time. She snacked the whole time, so that probably helped. 

Our good friends are coming in this weekend. Hadley is very excited to see Baby Oliver!  I told her we had to be gentle because he's a baby.  She asked if she could pet him haha!  She is saying the cutest things lately, I need to blog about more of them.

The other night we were watching Doc McStuffins and she said "Oh, mommy, I need my telescope."  Meaning her stethoscope :)  I love her.

 
 
 
One new recipe that is super easy, healthy, and perfect for a weeknight meal. I love meals like this...
 
 
Hummus Crusted Chicken
 
 
 
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 yellow squash, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup hummus, homemade or store bought
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika or sumac
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare one large baking dish or two smaller baking dishes with cooking spray.
 
Season the chicken breasts with generous pinches of salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, squash and onion with olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
 
If using one baking dish, place all of the vegetables on the bottom of the dish in an even layer. Lay the four chicken breasts evenly on top, then cover each chicken breast with the hummus so that the entire breast is covered. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken and vegetables. Then sprinkle the pan with smoked paprika or sumac. Thinly slice the remaining lemon, and place the slices in between the chicken and vegetables if desired.
 
**If using two pans, use one for the chicken and one for the vegetables.**
 
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Serve immediately.
