​Just in case you were wondering- yes, we all survived the first week back at school.

I really appreciated the fact that the kids started back to school on Wednesday so we could ease back into our school routine slowly. It wasn't easy to get everyone up and going in the morning after sleeping in all summer.  What was even harder was trying to stay awake past 9:00 in the evening.  (Early wake up calls = early bedtimes.)  

I had to readjust our dinner time this week as well.  Since we were eating breakfast and lunch quite a bit earlier - we were hungry for dinner earlier too.  My daughter also had to report to soccer camp at 6:00 every evening this week which was just the incentive I needed to start getting meals on the table earlier.  

Barbecued chicken is a great weeknight meal that I can prep in the afternoon and have it all ready to throw on the grill in the evening.  (I even made the barbecue sauce ahead of time.)  I'm going to keep this recipe close for those nights when we are juggling homework and practice and camp.  This recipe came from my Taste of Home magazine.

​The name of this recipe in the magazine was burn free barbecue chicken.  As irony has it, I managed to burn it.  Not too bad though - it was still salvageable.

There was a lot of barbecue sauce leftover so it looks like we will be having this chicken again soon.  Yum.

​CIao!
