Dinner was GREAT

I seasoned the sh*t out of some extra thick chicken breast. I had them seasoned and sitting in plastic in the frig for at least 5 hours. Then I cooked them for about 12 minutes on BROIL in a cast iron skillet with the lid on. They were nice and juicy.

Then I cooked some stuffing. I didn't make it how my mom makes it, with 10 loaves of cornbread and 30 pounds of turkey gizzards. Naw, I cheated or at least did the semi-Martha Stewart way. *chuckle* I started with a package of stuffing mix. Cut up an onion and celery. Then sauted them in TONS of butter and added some chicken broth. Right before I put it all into the oven I stirred in about a cup of dried cranberries. It was yummy.

For my veggies, I made this sweetened carrot dish. I first saw one of my uncles ex wives do it way back in the day. I cut up, length wise, about 4 large carrots. Placed them in a sauce pot with about 1/2 cup water, brown rice syrup, turbinado sugar, and butter. Let them cook until carrots were tender and viola.

Then I topped the whole meal off with some homemade butter milk biscuts. I'm starting to get really good a making biscuts. They're so easy and simple to make. Plus they are so good. Those are probably the BIGGEST hits. *chuckle*

So for dinner I make chicken breast, stuffing with cranberries, sweet carrots and butter milk biscuts. Oh and lets not forget the white cake I made from scratch and the white icing to go with it. The icing was in a box (can't have "from scratch" all the time).

The DOD and the Mr. were totally happy. Tomororw may be a pizza night - it depends on how I feel when I wake up.
