Sinfully Delicious Chicken Parmesan

A green checkered plate with a dish of chicken parmesan over spaghetti noodles

I heard a story on the news a few weeks ago about a lady who lived without breaking the Ten Commandments for one whole year. She blogged about it and then wrote a book, of course. I cannot find the blog anywhere, but I thought that was an interesting concept. Then I started thinking, how hard really could it be to live without breaking the Ten Commandments? As I started going through the list of commandments, I realized that I would fail right away. I am pretty golden with most of them… I don’t kill, I don’t steal, I don’t cheat on my husband, etc. The one commandment that got me and that I know I am guilty of breaking is “Thou Shall Not Covet”. Yep – I am a sinner because right now I am seriously coveting all of you who have an Apple IPhone. I want one…. I really want one. I am not exactly sure why I want one, but I just believe that I need one 🙂 In fact, if it weren’t for the jumbo price tag combined with the fact that I am still under contract with Verizon, my spontaneous, impulse purchasing self would probably snatch one up right away. I am convinced that an IPhone would make my life complete. (I am exaggerating here, but it couldn’t hurt, could it?). If I could only figure out a way to justify it as a business expense. Don’t magazine writers and recruiters need IPhones. I mean, seriously… it seems completely like a necessity for those jobs.

Anyway, enough about my sinning. I really do not like to sin alone, so I have decided to let you all in on my coveting. At first, I was thinking something chocolate. Then, I decided to tempt you with something fried in butter, smothered in cheese and served over pasta. Tempting enough for you?? Sinner…So easy you can sin every night.

    Oh gosh, I covet those iphones as well. I find it helps if I only let myself read the negative press on them, so I feel better about not having one. I also insanely covet your blog.

    For what it’s worth, perhaps to quell some of your covetousness, I have a friend who bought an iPhone and he’s not loving it. He kinda misses his RAZR, which is the phone I have right now. The other day, I got it out when I was with him and he looked at it kinda wistfully. His biggest gripe with the iPhone is that it’s not comfortable to hold as it’s not phone-shaped, but more like a little brick. Hinged phones give you that little angle situation.

    But they do seem awfully cool, otherwise.

    I’ve never seen much about those iPhones but maybe you will get one for Chrissy or something. 🙂

    I work with a couple of people that have iphones, and after playing around with them a bit, I’ve decided that they are not really that cool. I really only use my ipod at the gym, and I don’t think I will be strapping my phone to my arm any time soon!! I’m sure they’ll come down in price soon once the novelty has worn off.

    This chicken is worthy of coveting!! It might also be guilty of one of the 7 deadly sins after making this, too – gluttony!!

    A good friend of mine says the best way to overcome temptation is to give in. Then you don’t have to live with that nasty lust in your heart. Just go get the iPhone and – ta da!- coveting is gone!

    Your chicken looks delish!

    Kristen if I had an iphone I’d call you and tell you that your chx parm looks divine. It’s one of my all time favorites! Maybe Santa is reading your blog and will think you’ve been a good girl this year

    Mike was telling me about using someone’s iphone and said it felt like he was holding a slab of metal to his face. But then he said, quite breathlessly (as, you know, only a man can do) ‘They are really cool though’

    Me? I am a covet-er too. I covet stuff that I don’t even need just because I spent much of my life in dire financial straits and somehow my brain tried to tell me I deserve ‘stuff’. But I can’t take my ‘stuff’ with me when I go, and no one at my funeral is going to say "Wow, she had some great ‘stuff’, didn’t she?" so I turn it off and instead look around me at what I do have, which is pretty darn nice.

    That is the only commandment I would break too. Especially when it comes to cooking stuff, wine, foods, etc. Man…..do I covet that.

    You see, you want the rest of us to sin and join you in <i>that</i> and what makes <i>you</i> a worse sinner is that you are doing it deliberately! Tempt away my friend, tempt away 🙂

    You know, the only thing I really covet is the Nintendo Wii but I don’t want it *THAT* bad…it’s only because I know how much my daughter would love it- plus, Guitar Hero? I do so much air guitar I think it would totally be worth it! LOL!

    I’m so sorry I haven’t been reading much- it’s been nuts busy here lately! I don’t know how moms of more than 1 work full-time…I’m barely keeping up these days.

    You win! I have an iPhone (do absolutely love it, not the least of which is I can make and always have my shopping list on it) but I do covet your chicken.

  12. Cris says

    November 5, 2007 at 5:16 pm

    Very tempting… and I am sneaking out just to check your blog, not that’s a sin… 🙂

    I so love Chicken Parmesan. It is the go to dish when we go out to dinner at most Italian restaurants. If they screw this one up I would question every other dish on the menu. Yours look fantastic. Also, I know a few folks who have the iPhone. The general feedback was that if you need something for email, it is not that useful as a device.

  17. Janet says

    While I care nothing about an apple IPhone, I do covet chocolate and good food!

    I just have to say that your table (or counter?) bears a striking resemblance to mine. The chicken looks good too 🙂

    Does anyone else find it sad that it’s actually newsworthy/bookworthy that someone manages to follow the Ten Commandments for even a year?

    I’m not sold on the iPhone yet, but put a stack of cookbooks in front of me and it’s impossible for me to not want them!

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

They’ve done it all so independently and have navigated starting a small business way better than I could have at 17! Thanks to everyone who sent words of encouragement and showered them with support. It’s means so much!

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

What pandemic hobby did you pick up?

Hi, friend! I Thought I’d just say “hey” and check in and add some pretty flowers to your feed.

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy. The pandemic has made independent bookstores pivot in ways they’ve never had to before, but I’m so happy to say they are CRUSHING IT! And as we virtually celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, I wanted to share a way you too can help keep Independent bookstores afloat now (and in the future).

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢

I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
