Teacher Gift Idea

End of school is upon us and many of us are scrambling for last minute Teacher's Gift ideas.  Well, look no further, thanks to Overworked SuperMom and Pinterest I stumbled upon this great idea!

I was able to fill drink dispensers with the rest of the gifts, and kept cost close to $10 per teacher (my fall-back plan was to contribute $10 per teacher to the group of parents pitching in for gift cards), and I think that this will be a more memorable gift! All you do is pick up a drink dispenser and buy whatever you can fit in it!  My husband got a kick out of me putting different cups into the dispensers to see which would fit best.  FYI - chocolate covered pomegranate seeds are delicious!!

A similar idea is to just buy the cup and fill with different drink mixes.  Either way, I'm sure this teacher gift will be greatly appreciated! 

Oven Fried Drumsticks

I'm always looking for healthier recipes of yummy food, and who can resist fried drumsticks??  I found this recipe and filed it under Dinners.

What to say... well, to prove to you how well liked this was in my family, my somewhat picky daughter, who never would eat meat off the bone before, ate TWO of these drumsticks.  I tried the recipe again a couple weeks later, and again, she ate two (and my even picker son tried it!).  I really liked this recipe and it will definitely be added to my family's list of favorite meals. 

For some reason when I made mine, it wasn't crispy like in the original post's photo. Maybe I didn't use enough butter or flour?  Not really sure what happened... but we still liked it.  I also decided to exchange cajun seasoning for the curry seasoning.  Still quite tasty.  My favorite part about this recipe is that all the ingredients are things I always have in my house, so no special planning or extra trips to the grocery store.

If you can figure out how to make the chicken crispy, be sure to leave a comment on my post! I'd like to know your tips!
