Asian Barbecued Chicken Thighs And Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner

When I first saw the list of ingredients for this Asian chicken dish, I almost didn't make it. I'm not a big fan of getting a whole bunch of sauces and spices out to just use a pinch here and there. Call it laziness or just being in a rush, but that extra work doesn't appeal to me in the kitchen.

These barbecued chicken thighs changed my outlook completely.

Once you have all the ingredients, you can store them all together and use them over and over. That's how good this recipe is - you may never bake chicken any other way.

Ingredients: 
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp + 2 tsp Sriracha sauce
2 Tbsp + 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp ground ginger
3 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups fresh baby carrots
2 cups broccoli florets
4 chicken thighs

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a large sheet pan with nonstick spray.

2. In a small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, 2 Tbsp Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Spoon out 1/4 cup of the sauce and set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, combine honey, vegetable oil, 2 tsp Sriracha, 2 tsp sesame oil, sesame seeds, and salt. Pour half in a large bowl and toss in the carrots. Save the other half.

4. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Brush one side of each thigh with the hoisin mixture and place it sauce-side down on the sheet pan. Brush the remaining sauce over the thighs.

5. Add carrots to the other side of the pan. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.

6. While the chicken and carrots are cooking, toss the broccoli in the remaining honey mixture.

7. After 10 minutes, add the broccoli to the carrots and pour the remaining 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce over the chicken.

8. Bake an additional 18-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly tender. Serve chicken on top of the vegetables and spoon sauce from the sheet pan on top.

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Simple DIY Beaded Keychains

Image
We're having so much fun putting together goodie bags and door prizes for our upcoming ladies retreat at the church. So many of our ladies have donated craft supplies, decorations, time and energy to treat our visitors to an amazing time. These keychains are just one of the gifts some of the attendees will find in their bags. All you need to make them are a variety of beads, some fairly thin yet sturdy cord and a jump ring. Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and string it through the jump ring. String matching beads on both sides. And tie it off with a double knot. So simple, yet so pretty. Here's another variation: Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and thread it through a jump ring. Tie one or two beads on one side and tie it off with a knot. Make the other side longer with additional letters and beads before tying it off. Make a variety of lengths, colors, patterns and phrases so no two are alike.

Debilitating Disappontment

The things of this life tend to disappoint us. People aren't who we'd like them to be, events we'd hoped for never occur and things we'd expected to happen in a certain way never come to pass. I've tried relying on everything else in this life - relationships, career, better finances. When we look to mankind for answers or for hope, we will surely be disappointed. Our own misconceptions of life's circumstances leads us down a long, dreary path. What we plan and see inside our head doesn't always match what others see, or what may actually be reality. Looking into ourselves for "clarity" directs us straight to depression and failure. Have you ever heard yourself say, "I couldn't care less" and truly meant it? Having confidence in our own power to change our outlook means that we care more about the circumstances themselves rather than how to grow as Christian women. God is the only unchanging factor in our uncertain world. Focusing on
