Disney’s The Odd Life of Timothy Green comes out in a couple of weeks (August 15th) and I’m really excited. As much as I love Disney animation, every now and then I like to see a live-action movie that has been sprinkled with pixie dust. This movie feels like it will deliver on the magic.

Jennifer Garner and CJ Adams in The Odd Life of Timothy Green

The Odd Life of Timothy Green is the story of Cindy and Jim Green (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton), a married couple who very much want to start a family but can only dream about what their child would be like. Then Timothy (CJ Adams) – a very unusual boy with leaves growing out of his shins and ankles – shows up on their doorstep during a storm one night. Timothy shows Cindy and Jim, and the entire town of Stanleyville, that sometimes the unexpected can bring some of life’s greatest gifts. Continue reading »

Tasty Tuesday – Chicken Piccata Recipe

I’m always looking for new ways to dress up chicken (isn’t everyone?), and so when I saw Chicken Piccata pop up on Pinterest the other day, I thought “Ooh. Maybe?”. Her post referenced a recipe from The Pioneer Woman, whom I adore, so (after reading the comments suggesting this particular modification was not exactly a win) I popped over to check out Ree’s original recipe.

As usual, I was not disappointed. I did make a couple of swaps, myself, but that was mainly due to the ingredients I had on hand and not wanting to have to make a special trip to the grocery. I also marinated my chicken for most of the day before cooking, just to impart some extra flavor. Here’s my version of her recipe.
