Becoming a Housewife

Slowly but surely, I am becoming more of a housewife. I'm not saying that I stay home all day and cook and clean (which I would love!). Let me rephrase...I am becoming more domestic. I am trying to cook more often. I am also cleaning more often. The only thing that I don't do is laundry. I am horrible at it. If I ever do start a load of laundry, it NEVER makes it to the dryer. Then, it starts to smell, and has to be rewashed. When Brad and I got married, we both decided that it would be best if he did all of the laundry. (Which is fine by me.)


Instead of doing laundry, I try to contribute to our house by cleaning and cooking. I am becoming a tidier person as I get older. I am also trying to become a better cook. I have always considered myself to be a good cook, I just rarely do it. I really want to start making the time to cook more often. (Occasionally, I will try to post some really good recipes that I come across.)


When I was younger, and my mom can attest to this, I NEVER cleaned my room. Looking back, I don't know how I stood it. Anyways, as I have grown up, and moved into my own home, I want it to look perfect at all times. I still have a lot of work to do to get to that point, but I am working towards it. Also, as my back has gotten better, I have had more energy to clean more often than I have in the past couple of years.

That's all for now, so I am going to leave you with a recipe.

Chicken Nacho Bake:

4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)

1/2 cup TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Thick 'N Chunky Salsa

1/4 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips

1/2 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese

PREHEAT oven to 400ºF. Place chicken on foil-covered baking sheet. Slice three cuts on top of each chicken breast with sharp knife.

TOP each chicken breast evenly with salsa, sour cream and tortilla chips.

BAKE 20 min. Remove from oven; sprinkle with cheese. Bake an additional 10 min. or until chicken is cooked through (165ºF).
