In May I was grateful for... #365DaysOfGratitude

I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in and have on my private Facebook account every day and I thought I would share here too. I am hoping to continue it for the rest of the year and longer.

Reasons to be grateful

Day 124 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for trying new recipes. Today I made chicken coated in Pringles. The kids saw it on TikTok and it looked good. You simply cut the chicken breasts up, coat the pieces in flour then egg then smashed up Pringles and put in the oven to cook. My family loved it!
