Counting Moo
- Go around the table counting, starting with the number one.
- Whenever you get to an even number, say “Moo.”
- For example, “one, moo, three, moo, five, moo…”
- Anyone who misses a “Moo” or a correct number must take a sip of milk and start the game over.
Variation - Try this with odd numbers, prime numbers, or multiples of 3 depending on the ages of your children. You can find this fun game as well as many more in our Family Dinner Games.
Lemon Chicken
Ingredients
4 Chicken Breast Halves (or 2 whole breasts)
1 Egg
5 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice
1/2 Cup Light Butter
2 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
1 Cup Boiling Water
1/2 Cup Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Paprika
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Beat the egg and 1 Tablespoon of the lemon juice in a bowl. Combine the flour, paprika, and garlic powder in another bowl (large enough to coat the chicken breast). Dip the chicken breast in the egg mixture and then coat it on both sides with the flour mixture. Melt the butter in a pan or electric skillet and brown each chicken breast on both sides. Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the boiling water and then add the remaining 4 tablespoons of lemon juice. Pour the broth over the browned chicken and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve with warm white or brown rice. Serves 4
Helpful Hints
Try organizing your weekly menu by themes to help with meal planning and grocery shopping. For example, make Monday chicken night, Tuesday pasta night, Wednesday crock pot night, etc. This helps make it easier to plan which meals to serve and streamlines grocery lists and shopping.
