This Week's Mustard Seed



Today I'm linking up with Jennifer and Rebecca for Mustard Seed Planting. Rebecca and Jennifer have inspired me to be more intentional about learning God's word and MEMORIZING God's word as well. I'm starting with baby steps, which essentially for me is a longer Bible study time with my children and memorizing verses with them.

Over the past month we have been working our way through the book of Acts. I am ashamed to say I had never read through that book before, until now. We are learning so much, and what is sticking with my children is Paul's transformation and his fervent spread of the gospel during his journeys.

I thought this was pretty cute. In our Bible it said something about Paul being a "man of action". My six year old piped in "MOM! PAUL WAS A VERB!" We laughed so hard. But he's right, isn't he? Paul was a verb and shouldn't we all be a verb - a verb for God?

Out of the mouths of babes....

What's For Dinner? Chicken Cordon Bleu AND a new Linky - join me!




Allrecipes.com strikes again! I get their daily recipe email, and last week Chicken Cordon Bleu popped up. I had just planned to make some basic chicken breasts, but then I realized I had all of the ingredients on hand, so I changed the menu. These chicken breasts were so easy and delicious! The meal would be a great joint effort between mom and kids, too.


Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 7x11 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.
  3. Sprinkle each piece of chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 cheese slice and 1 ham slice on top of each breast. Roll up each breast, and secure with a toothpick. Place in baking dish, and sprinkle chicken evenly with bread crumbs.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from oven, and place 1/2 cheese slice on top of each breast. Return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.
