This recipe works perfectly! Thanks so much. I use the "breast tenders" and mix a little Cavender's Greek Spice in the flour and add a little more to the chicken after it's dusted.

It comes out amazingly moist. I've never had chicken breast like it. I cook up a package of breast tenders on Monday and can use the chicken during the week in different dishes.

Thanks again for this recipe!

@JEEPYJ Your comment about your house smelling like onions for days reminded me of the advice my mom gave me when I was a young girl (in the 60s)... "if you don't know what you're going to fix for dinner, just start browning some onions. You'll eventually figure out what to make, but in the meantime when your husband comes home he'll think you've been cooking all day!"

This is delicious! We made it today with bacon bits and feta cheese. Just perfect!

A small, colorful lamp adds incredible warmth to a desk cube. Even if you have enough overhead lighting, it can often be harsh white light. A warm glow from a small desk lamp can make a big difference.

We painted our renovated basement Sherwin Williams SW0073 Chartreuse from their Suburban Modern palette. It looks great in artificial light and every surface is a different shade. I love it.

What's your take on a tenant reporting immediately when things aren't working?

I have a friend who just moved into a new house he is renting from an out-of-town couple and is afraid to tell them that the A/C is causing a puddle on the basement floor. He doesn't want them to think he's a "trouble" tenant.

I think he needs to report everything wrong right away. It's only fair so the homeowner/landlords can keep their house in good shape.

What do y'all think? Can I get a landlord's opinion on this so I can share it with him?

Thanks!

I'd check thrift shops, Goodwill, etc, for an old wooden bed frame to fix up. There are plenty out there.

Another Ikea option, much cheaper than the Rykene, is the Fjellse bed that's only $49.

@possumlady I'm with you. I've stayed away from used upholstered furniture since my son had a bedbug infestation in his apartment.... 500 miles away from me.

I just don't think I could ever convince myself that a piece of furniture was "clean."

Here's another: Always greet your household members warmly when they come home. Make a little fuss if you can. We do this for each other and for house guests, too. Guests are always amazed and tell me how much it means to them.

5 Completely Free Ways to Make Your House a Home

I collect lamps and lampshades from the (mostly) 1950s. I find them separately and pair them up, usually stumbling on them in antique malls and shops where they think they're ugly and have no idea of the value, so I get them pretty cheap.

I'm sure if I wanted to sell them, they'd be worth a lot more as lamp/shade pairs than as a collection. My kids call "dibs" on the lamps they like most and want to inherit. My husband is supposed to keep me from buying more, but he's the one who often points them out to me saying, "You've GOT to get this one."

I recently came across some really good ones at a great price, but all I could picture was bringing them home and putting them in the "lamp graveyard" with the rest of the lamps that are currently out of "rotation."

I probably have about 50-60 lamps and 20-30 shades (all of the shades are fiberglass and many of them two- and three-tiered). It's a great collect--I think.


What's Your Collection Worth? (And Does It Matter?)

I think if they installed a fan, it was for a very good reason. There may not be very good air circulation in that top floor. Or it may be to draw the A/C up in the summer.

I wouldn't get rid of it until you've lived an entire season in the house.
