Teriyaki Chicken

Monday kicked off with a busy day. My middle daughter turns 8 on Friday (yes it is Friday the 13th) and I am trying to get everything ready for her Frozen Themed party. In the middle of preparing for the party and getting the normal night routine done I started an Easter fabric wreath.

I have always had an issue doing one thing at a time. I like to keep my plate full and our bellies! Tonight we whipped up some Teriyaki Chicken with homemade teriyaki sauce. Sorry I could not get a decent picture of the chicken.
