If you are thinking that I have won something, you would be wrong. The take away is the chicken dinner lol. You ever just get in the mood the cook? You think of a meal and if it isn’t something that you can order you got get the stuff and light the stove?
Well there have been a few different options rolling round in my mind. I caved to a craving for Shepherds pie and got on of the big ones from Costco Other than the mushrooms I would say I was satisfied. I have also been in the mood for a a real pot roast with potatoes and carrots. That one came from an Instacart shop that I was doing. Their list was for that meal.
For tonight’s dinner though I dont have a slow cooker prepping for hours or a time for a 15 step meal. So chicken is on the menu. When I have a thought about what’s for dinner, I turn to Pinterest. I found a baked chicken chicken recipe that uses Panko, bread crumbs and Parmesan. Who doesn’t like crispy chicken? The steps seem easy ad quick enough. But I can’t only serve the boyfriend chicken. We are going for a balanced meal here.
I enjoy cooking for my man. We don’t live together so when we get to have dinner its a treat and something nice to do for him. He is UPS and these days the work days are long. Anyways I was thinking along the lines of easy and he mentioned the other night that he likes red potatoes. I do too and they are so simple. Wash, boil, mash and season. I put ranch dip mix in mine for a bit of extra flavor.
Last but not least we need some green things in our diet. I am going to skip the prep and go right for a bag of frozen broccoli and cauliflower. Keep things easy where you can. I found a Pinterest recipe for roasted veggies. From the bag to the tray and on to the plate.
I’m not going to hold you up too long because I’ve also go to go enjoy the meal. But I encourage you to go search thru new recipes, or even the classics that you know and love. Find a friend, a family member, a partner and dish up some yummy goodness and have fun making a few messes along the way. Enjoy!!
