Mother's Day Fun

I took about 50 pictures today and could not get a good one of Savannah - so as I was yelling "say Cheese", this is what I got of her and Dan.....great "Cheese" face by Daddy!

 She looked so stinking cute, I was determined to capture her sweet look......even though it's not of her face!

Our friend Shelby's Hip Hop Recital

Bourbon Apple Glazed Chicken Wings

These tangy sweet wings get the benefit of being braised then baked, no

frying involved!

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 1 hour Level: Easy

Serves 4

2 lbs chicken wings, trimmed

1 cup Maker’s Mark Bourbon

1 can frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed (12 ounces)

1/2 cup soy sauce

¼ cup cider vinegar

¼ cup dark brown sugar

4 large cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Directions:

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium pot. Bring to boil on high

heat and then reduce to a simmer for 30-40 minutes until the wings are

tender and the glaze has reduced, coating the wings.

2. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Remove the wings from the pot and transfer to

a parchment lined sheet tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the wings begin

to color and the glaze becomes shiny. Garnish with minced scallions and

apple. Serve immediately.

Savannah absolutely loves...

playing with bubbles! "Bubbles" is her most favorite word!
