RECIPE: Chicken Lollipop

I also served this during our Mancom meeting today.


My children love this dish. I don't have a hard time encouraging my kids to finish their food when this dish is around. In case your kids are picky with their food, you now know what to serve them.


Chicken Lollipop is generally considered as a hors d’œuvre or appetizer dish. Though not everyone may know, this chicken dish is made from chicken wings.

i love my WASHI tapes


I love my Instax Camera. And my favorite part is covering my Polaroid pictures with patterned washi tape from Lasting Impression.


“Washi Tape” comes from Japan. it's known as masking tape (マスキングテープ). It is a paper tape that comes in pretty colors and patterns. It comes on a roll like regular sticky tape, and is often translucent. You can find it in 1/4″ widths up to 2 1/2 inches, and it feels more like masking tape than true “paper.” Since hitting the crafting world by storm, many major scrapbooking companies have come out with their own versions.
