Cheddar Bacon Chicken Tenders

Cheddar Bacon Chicken Tenders

I love chicken, in fact my husband usually says, "how are you making the chicken tonight?" He knows me too well. There are just so many ways to prepare it. These chicken tenders go together quickly and are delicious.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

As we begin this week, many are bracing for hurricane Dorian. I am still in Vermont but my daughter is in Florida taking care of our dogs. I wish I could be there because it is no fun when a hurricane hits.  There is always so much to do to prepare for the storm and she had to deal with our house and hers. I am wishing for prayers if you can, not only for us but for all of those dealing with this storm.

This week's Happiness is Homemade Link Party has DIY projects and recipes that will have you in the Fall frame-of-mind even if the weather is still warm where you are.

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things!

Happy Thursday!  Here it is the last Thursday in August. It is coming to a close too quickly. We are in Vermont and the weather is delightful. Today was so beautiful with temps around 77. I am so loving this weather. 

Hubby and my son are having a great time cutting down trees for firewood. That is their favorite past time. They have an 80 acre farm with many trees on it especially Maple ones so they have no problem with firewood.

Labor Day is right around the corner. Do you have anything special planned? we don't have any specific plans other than doing some work around the house and a cook out. 

Check out my wonderful features and then link up your posts. Have a great day.

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Here it is the last Wednesday in August. Kids, are back in school, fall posts are everywhere and even some Halloween ones. For some, fall is in the air, but definitely not for those of us in the south. It's still summer and we won't be feeling fall until about mid October. 

That's OK, I still enjoy all of your fall posts and maybe one of these days, I will even find my fall decorations. Since we have moved, I'm not sure where they are. In the meantime, I am in Vermont and enjoying some cooler weather here. I'm lovin it.

Welcome to You're The Star - Home Feature Week!

Happy Monday!  Here we are in the last Monday  and the last week in August. I have no idea where the summer went, the kids are back in school and fall is around the corner. Our temperatures are still so hot that it is hard to think of fall. Maybe your temps are starting to cool down, you are lucky. Can I came and visit?

Happy Sunday. I hope your weekend has been wonderful. We are still having hot weather, but then again, it is Florida. It does make working outside difficult. We put up an awing over our window, and by the time we were done, I was dripping. 

There are so many projects we want to do, but when it is cooler. A heat index of 104 is not cool. Has your weather cooled down? if so, I need to come visit. 

I hope you enjoy checking out my features and all of the amazing posts. Have a great week ahead.

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things!

Happy Thursday!  I have moved my blog to a "com". I am still trying to get it all worked out. If you have any problems, please let me know.

I hope this finds you well. I can't believe that it is Thursday already. Seems like it was just Monday. If your kiddos are back in school, how are you adjusting? If they aren't in school yet, are you getting ready?  August was always a different kind of month. It was still summer and we had to think of school, but didn't want to. My kids use to say, why do I have to think about school clothes when it is so hot? They would drag out going shopping as long as possible. it would have been nice to have been able to shop online back then.

Happy summertime!! I know summer is drawing toward the end and boy I can't wait for this heat to cool off. We are heading to Vermont next week and the weather is to be nice. Looking forward to not having all of this heat.
School is in full swing for most of us and before you know it, fall will be here. I have seen fall items in the stores for weeks now. Are you ready? 

We had some many wonderful posts last week. Check out all of the features.

Happy Monday morning! It's a new week and I hope it is a good one. Did you have a great weekend? Did you do anything special? We worked outside. Planted some fruit tress, lemon, line, ruby red grapefruit and an avocado. I can hardly wait until next year to enjoy the fruit. We already have small ones on the trees.

Welcome to another week at Happiness Is Homemade. Wow, it is the middle of August. Kids are back to school, fall ideas are appearing and soon we will be sharing Halloween posts (I did see a couple already). I even saw some Christmas things at JoAnn fabrics the other day. Yikes, I am not ready for all of that. What about you?

Features for Happiness Is Homemade #284

Updated Rocking Chairs

Updated Rocking Chairs

When we purchased our new home, they left two rocking chairs on the front porch.  The chairs were sturdy so we kept them. However, they did not go with the new paint color of the house.

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things!

Happy Thursday!  It is the middle of August, the kids are back in school and our weather is still hot. It is a special upcoming weekend, since it is my birthday on Friday. Sometimes I wonder how the years have gone by so fast. 

My grand daughter would say on my birthday, as long as I wasn't 70 because that is really old. Well, that came and went. Now she says, it's OK grammy, you aren't old. Of course she says that every year.  Don't you just love them?

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

School started here on Monday.  Did your kids start school yet? I don't have kids in school these days, but I can't imagine them going back so early. My grand kids in Vermont, don't start until the 27th. School starting usually means that summer is coming to an end, but I am being positive that we still have lots of summer yet to go. How about you?

You're The Star - Creative Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Creative Feature Week

Happy Monday! Welcome to another new week in August.  As with the other months, this month is flying by too fast. I know that many schools started today.  Remember when we started school after Labor Day. We had almost three months for summer vacation. Now students are lucky if they get 2 months. It's a new school year and I hope your kiddos have a good one.

Salvaged Plant Stand

Salvaged Plant Stand

My brother-in-law is always on the look out for things for me. My sister-in-law said that if we were married, our house could not hold all of things that we would collect. She is probably right. Although he lives in Georgia,(he gave me the peaches) he will call me from a garage sale or send a pic of something to see if I want it. He is the best, so when we were there a few weeks ago, he took me to a house (a friend of his) where he dug up a hydrangea for me. I am still nursing it. I hope it survives. 

While we were there, he asked if there was anything I wanted. The people had moved out and left some things. One  of the things I got was this plant stand. 

Thursday Favorite Things

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things!

Happy Thursday! How is your week going? Mine has finally slowed a little. We had concrete pored for a new walkway, a back patio and a circular driveway. It had been off and on for about 10 days. I would show you pictures, but how exciting can concrete be? I am happy with it, but who else would care?

Over The Moon Linky Party

Welcome to Over The Moon Linky Party

Happy Sunday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend so far. Mine was very nice, we had about 16 for dinner on Friday - that was lots of fun,  we did some yard work and I worked on a couple of projects. It was nice to be doing a project again instead of working on the house. 

I hope you enjoy checking out my features and all of the amazing posts. Have a great week ahead.

Peach Slab Pie with Sugar Cookie Crumble

Peach Slab Pie with Sugar Cookie Crumble

If you follow me, you know I received almost a bushel of peaches recently. We ate lots and then I put the rest in the freezer. I wanted to make something for my husband to take into work. I had seen recipes for slab pie and thought that would be great with the peaches. Instead of putting another crust on top, I crumbled sugar cookie dough on the top. How could it not be good?
