Barn Cake

Last Friday was our Blue and Gold Banquet for the Scouts in our church group.

Every year we have a cake auction and the proceeds go to the Scouting program.

This year I made a Barn Cake.

I found the idea on Betty Crocker email that I received last year.

It took a long time to put it together, but it was a blast to decorate!

Here is what it looked like.

We took twinkies, covered them in frosting and dipped them into shredded wheat.

That is our hay bales on the left hand side.

Teriyaki Chicken

My sister-in-law made this years ago at a family function.

I have modified the recipe just a little bit.

It is one of Jon's favorite meals.

Teriyaki Chicken

Prep: 5 min

Cook: 15-20 min

• 2 Chicken Breasts
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup Flour
• 2 TBSP Olive Oil
• 2 TBSP Butter
• 2 TBSP Cavender's All Purpose Greek Seasoning
• 2-3 TBSP Aji-Mirin (rice wine)
• 3 TBSP Soy Sauce
• 2 cups Chicken Broth
• No salt is needed due to the Cavender's and Soy Sauce

 1. Heat oil in skillet on medium heat.

2. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces.

3. Put chicken into flour and stir to coat

 4. Shake excess flour off of chicken and put into skillet.

5. Add pats of butter to skillet and stir.

 6. Sprinkle Cavender's onto chicken.

I found the small container at the local grocery store for $4.

I found the bigger container at Wal-Mart for $5!!

 7. Brown chicken.

 8. Add Aji-Mirin and Soy sauce and stir.

I included a picture so you could see what the Aji-Mirin bottle looks like.

 9. Add Chicken Broth and bring to boil.

10. Lower heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10 min uncovered,

or until desired thickness is achieved.

 Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.

You can eat it by itself or on top of your side.

This is a favorite recipe in my family and I make it once every two weeks and sometimes more.  It is very easy and so delicious! Let me know if you try it and how you liked it.
