Logan goes to the dentist.

Logan had his first dentist appointment yesterday. It was hilarious. He was so stone-cold and shy.

Dentist to Logan: How old are you?
Logan: (Nothing. Not even a glance in her direction).

Dentist to Logan: Does Mommy help you brush your teeth?
Logan: (Nothing. Not even a glance in her direction).

Dentist to Logan: Do you like those birds in the window? (where he was averting his glance)
Logan: (Nothing. Not even a glance in her direction).

Logan knew he was there to have his teeth looked at, so he kept his finger in his mouth the entire time he was in the chair. Almost as an extra security measure to make sure his teeth remained in his mouth throughout the appointment.

The dentist had to pry his tight lips open to see his teeth, but let him keep that finger there. It was almost as if his finger was the pin to a grenade. Pull that pin, and we all knew what could happen.

The B in ABC

The other night, I’m watching Modern Family with Anya (8). I know, it’s not realllly a kids’ show but she caught it once and now it’s our think when Donnie has to work late.

Anyway, these provocative commercials kept coming on for the following program. It was the series premiere, so ABC thought they should broadcast it at every commercial break. Anya instinctively closed her eyes each time. Really, ABC? At 8 o’clock I have worry about my kids seeing something they shouldn’t?

By the time Modern Family was over, I’d had it with “Don’t Trust the B- in apartment 23.”

And what’s with ABC’s new shows? The B in Apartment 23 and GCB? Both shows are on before our little ones go to bed. Is this what network television is coming to?

What a minute, what does the B in ABC stand for?

Healthy Chicken Tenders?

I found recipes for healthy versions of comfort foods and finally decided to make one tonight.

Anya had plans tonight and I wanted to make Logan’s favorite dinner, which is chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. OK, so I just made the chicken nuggets.

Easiest health food recipe ever.

Ingredients
8 Chicken fillets or 4-5 breasts (cut into strips)
2.5 cups of Cornflakes
1 tsp of Sage
1 tsp Thyme
3 TBSP of dijon mustard

Directions
1. Blend the cornflakes with the seasonings (but don’t use your Bullet if it’s about to die. It makes and awful sound and smells like burnt metal)
2. Use a pastry brush to put dijon mustard on chicken strips.
3. Then, dip them in the cornflake mix.
4. Lay them all out on a sheet of wax paper in a pan. (Use the wax paper, you will never get the pan clean)
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes (Although mine took about 15. So yeah, make sure they are done before you eat them).

I mixed up a little honey mustard for dipping and these things were awesome. In fact, Logan preferred them without the sauce. You know, so he could really taste the geniusly blended flavors.

Winner, winner chicken dinner!
