Cracker Barrel Trek!

One of the Fridays of my husband's sabbatical, we decided to take a road trip across the mountains to Sacramento - for what? To go to Cracker Barrel!! Of course, Papa Vern had to come with us!

It was so yummy as it always has been! Sacramento now has the closest Cracker Barrel to us - it used to be up in Boise was the closest and then finally recently Las Vegas. Still almost nine hours. Now about 2 1/2 hours - getting closer to Reno!

On the way home, we took the scenic route. Note if you ever hang out with us, we WILL go the scenic route at one point. Ha!

One of our ski resorts - Sugar Bowl. No snow yet! :(

The scenic route took us on a new adventure that my husband and I never knew about!

This is Donner Lake - the lake in yesterday's blog post. :)

Amazing overall view!

The best part of this trip was making more memories with Papa Vern!

And I brought home some of this. Amen.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.

(I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.). Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined. In another bowl, combine the crackers and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Dredgs each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then in the cracker mixture, and set the chicken aside on a plate.
