Soooo Delicious Chicken Thighs

I want to marry Stephen Colbert.  Just in case anyone was wondering.  I also want to marry Elliot Stabler.  The character, not Chris Meloni.  I don't know Chris Meloni.  But I want to marry Elliot Stabler.  Back to my other love though, Colbert's wit is very sexy.  I don't catch his show all that often, but when I do,  I find it quite entertaining.  Upon looking up Stephen Colbert's age, I have found the my list of people I want to marry is full of really old dudes.  Evidently, I am looking in the wrong demographic for a boyfriend.  I need to spend more time in the Viagra Triangle.

Also, I am now watching the Jay Leno show and there is some guy who traveled the world for free and he's hilarious and I want to be his friend.  His name is Michael Wigge and yeah.  Too funny.  He's sitting next to Katy Perry, who seems to think he's crazy.  I find it all rather entertaining.

After work I decided today was a singing day.  I'm going to be making my great aunt a CD for her birthday, July 5, and i know she really wants me to do "I Will Always Love You", but that's going to be a stretch.  I've been doing a couple of other songs to give her like "Wind Beneath my Wings".  She's 81 so I have to keep that in mind.

In other news, my new obsession is Coconut LaCroix.  I recently made the switch from Diet Coke to Fresca (anyone who knows me understand how big of a deal this is) and rediscovered LaCroix last weekend.  What a great way to ween myself off of pop (don't worry, I'll never give up pop all together. I don't care that it's bad for you.  I'm not going to be one of those people).  But anyway, I am obsessed with coconut and while my mom's friend said she wasn't a fan of this flavor, I have to say it totally hits the spot and is completely guilt free.  What a great way to get my carbonation fix while not giving myself whatever all those horrible things pop is responsible for.  

SO I never cook chicken thighs.  I almost always just substitute for breast tenderloins because they are healthier, but I saw this recipe on Pinterest and it had such rave reviews that I didn't want to change anything.  They weren't lying.  This was one of the easiest and most delicious chicken recipes I have ever made.  Absolutely a keeper!!!

Crazy Easy and Delicious Chicken Thighs Witty in the City

So ridiculously good!  Chicken Thighs

Ingredients:

• Chicken thighs- 1 package (about 6 thighs) 
• Dijon mustard- 1/2 cup
• Maple syrup- 1/4 cup
• Rice wine vinegar- 1 tablespoon
• Fresh rosemary

Preheat your oven to 450ºF. Then, mix together 1/2 cup of dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar. Put a 1.5 pound package of chicken thighs into a foil-lined, oven-proof baking dish. I used boneless, skinless thighs. Six came in my package, which made enough to serve 3 people. Then, salt and pepper the thighs. Pour your maple mustard mixture over them, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated. 

Put the chicken thighs into the oven, and let them bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF. Baste the tops of the chicken with more sauce half way through.  Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate the chicken, making sure to spoon some extra sauce over the top. Sprinkle over some fresh rosemary.
