I'm going to be in Florida for spring break this year, so this past weekend I went back home to get away from the Bradley bubble for a few days.
It just so happens that this was also the weekend of the annual Irish Fest in Manhattan. Because so many immigrants came to Manhattan from Ireland and the heritage has stuck since then, there's a celebration every year with family-friendly events for kids, a parade chock full of bagpipes, and adult festivities at night. I think the history is pretty cool, but then again it's my hometown, so I may be a little biased.
This was the first year since I've been 21 that I was home for the event, so I was excited to experience the beer tents and authentic, live music.
I went with my mom and our family friends on Friday night to hear who the Grand Marshall of the parade would be. No judging, please. There really is a grand marshall.
After I came back on Sunday afternoon, all I wanted was another warm, cooked meal. My mom sent me back with leftovers, but I was saving them for a day when I had to eat dinner at work.
So, here's what I made for dinner on Sunday night! These green beans are delicious, super easy, and good for you! I've made them a few times since I found the recipe and haven't changed a thing on it.
The chicken was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I had gone to HyVee that day so I could get groceries, and he mentioned that he wanted to try these Kraft FreshTakes. They're so easy to add to basically any meat and the chicken turned out delicious! The package comes with basic directions on how to add the seasoning to chicken, but it also comes with several other non-traditional recipes. On the inside of the one we bought, there was a recipe for some baked mac-n-cheese! The packages are in the dairy aisle, so I really recommend trying it for dinner sometime soon!
That's it for today! Only 9 days until Spring Break! :)
