October fun: recipe and photography!

October 18th is Craig's anniversary date of coming from Texas. We have made it a tradition on that day to have brisket, which is Craig's very favorite. He was very proud of how it turned out. This is the meat all seasoned to yummy perfection!
I made popcorn balls out of marshmallows and white chocolate to celebrate and tie in the colors in the Texas flag.
My brother and siser in law were visiting Logan and us yesterday. I was telling them about this yummy and easy Tiny Spicy Chicken recipe that an instructor taught back in my days of teaching cooking classes at Maceys.

Tiny Spicy Chicken
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into pieces
garlic salt
2 beaten eggs
cornstarch
2 tsp chili paste NOT powder
1 1/2 c sugar
1 c ketchup
4 tsp soy sauce
dash salt
1 c chicken broth
1/4 c brown sugar

Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt I do this very generously. Let sit for 1 hour in the fridge. After an hour dip chicken in eggs and then in cornstarch. Brown chick in fryer until golden brown. Put chicken in 9x13 pan. Mix remaining ingredients in medium size saucepan. Cook until sugars are dissolved. Pour over chicken. (the sauce is very runny at this point but it thickens while cooking) Bake @ 325 degrees for one hour, stirring the chicken every 15 minutes. YUMMY!


Also this month I took some engagement pictures for my friend's older brother. These are a few of my favorites. I wrote some new photoshop actions for their pictures which I love! Congratulations to the happy couple getting married December 5th!

    You are amazing Belinda! Cute pictures! I haven't seen you in forever....I miss you! Next time I'm up in Logan, I'll have to call you up. I could really use a girl's night out!

      Craig and I have been married for a little over 2 years. When we aren't working or going to school we like to play 'Lost Cities', cook together, go for walks, watch movies and eat ice cream. We have a pretty low key life. One day we'd like to have a family. For now I have a camera. :-) If you are interested in checking out my photography site please visit www.belindaolsen.com I specialize in newborn, toddler, children and family photography.
