Yumminess!

 Parker loves Chicken Nuggets, but the thought of my kids ingesting those things they sell at most fast food restauarants as "chicken nuggets" literally makes me want to vomit.  I have totally fed my children those things and I'm sure I will in the future, but I try to avoid it as much as possible just because they seem so gross to me.  Lately, however, Parker has been asking for them all the time.  So, I told him I would make him the best chicken nuggets he'd ever had.  Basically, I just chunked up the chicken in almost bite-size pieces, coated it w/ flour and spices and cooked it in some olive oil on the stove.

Then I thought sweet potato fries sounded like a scrumptious side to have (what are chicken nuggets without fries?)!  But in true Anna form (laziness) I thought I'd try to save a few minutes and use my food processor to make something more like sweet potato chips.  Well, they didn't turn out quite like I thought they would, and were a bit too spicy for the kids, but I love them!  Most of them are not very crispy because I had a hard time catching them just at crispiness but before becoming burnt.  So they are either slightly soft or overcooked.  But still yummy! And the fun part:  I feel no guilt eating these chips!

 And the kids were pretty happy with the results too! 

Parker kept saying, "these are the best nuggets in the whole world!"  He exaggerates, but I like that, especially when he's talking about my food or how much he loves me!

 p.s. Yes, my photography skills do rock!

I am a Mormon. I am a Christian.

Lately, there's been a lot of news coverage about Mitt Romney, a hopeful candidate for the 2012 Presidential race, as well as a Mormon.  Up until recently, most of what I had heard was fairly neutral in the area of his religion.  However, just this past week, Reverend Robert Jeffress spoke up with his concerns about Romney's religion.  As I am a Mormon, or a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and a Christian, I was both shocked and bewildered by his comments.  The following is an interview Jeffress had with CNN's Anderson Cooper:


In response to the inflammatory words of Jeffress, many people have spoken out, Mormons and not, to establish actual facts rather than spread rumors or misunderstandings.  Here is an article by Dean Obeidallah, also from CNN, entitled  "Who says Mormons aren't Christians?".

However, I think the best clarification can be found in a message given by Jeffrey R. Holland, a prominent leader of  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  His brief message and testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ, is entitled The Only True God and Jesus Christ Whom He Has Sent. 

So am I a Mormon?  Yes, I am.  Am I a Christian?  Most assuredly, I am.

I know that it is only through Jesus Christ that I can be saved.  He is my Savior and Redeemer.
