Balsamic Chicken

Hello everyone!  I thought today I would share with you one of the tastiest, easiest chicken recipes I have ever made.  It is Balsamic Chicken in the crock pot.  Here is the recipe:

2 pounds chicken thighs, with skin on
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup Coke
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (if you like a bit of spicy)
some black pepper

You just put all the ingredients in the crock pot and cook it on low for 4 hours, so easy and delicious!  When the chicken is done, I like to take it out and take the skin off and the bones out, then throw the pieces of chicken back in for a few more minutes to soak up some extra flavor.  For a side dish with it, I like to make mashed potatoes, but you could do pasta or rice, too.  Enjoy!

The Color Run

Exciting news!  There is a new date on The Color Run 5K schedule and it is June 23 in Tulsa!  So Brian and I signed up this morning and we are super excited!  Brian's sister, Katie, and her husband, Jonathan, are doing it with us, as well as my sister, Kara.  We are trying to get more of our friends in on it too! (You know who you are).  In case you have forgotten what this 5K is all about, here is a link to the page.

Brian and I are making great progress with our jogging.  We have only skipped two workouts in the 6 weeks that we have been doing the program.  We reached a new personal best yesterday of 14 minutes.  It was only supposed to be two 10 minute jogs, but on the second one we didn't hear the timer go off and ended up jogging for 4 extra minutes, no problem!  Tomorrow is two 10 minute jogs (with less walking in between) and then Friday is a 15 minute jog and I am so excited to conquer it!  If you had told me 2 months ago that I would be able to jog for 15 minutes straight, I would have said you were crazy!

I love being able to do this with my husband, to help him get healthier and be there every step of the way to support him.  I love you, babe! :)
