I thought I’d share a deeeeelish meal I made the other day. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of it.

Gonna hafta try the quash fries ;D sounds goooood.
ReplyDeleteOh, yum! This whole dinner sounds awesome! I had never thought of squash fries... Brilliant!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYUM! Both of those look delicious. I'm always in search of new recipes b/c I get so bored with the same old thing. But c'mon, did you have to put a picture of a *real* chicken above the chicken recipe? LOL Anyhow, I might try these this weekend. I'll let you know. :)
ReplyDeleteWillyBCool, Hope you like those fries.
ReplyDeleteHot Coco, I have to admit, Hungry Girl gave me the idea of butternut squash fries. Enjoy!
Barb, I know, I try to find new exciting ways to make chicken. LOL! I know…I’m bad about the picture. :D Please let me know if you like it!
Oh no...My mouth is instantly watering... And I am on a strict diet!! The chicken sounds wonderful though - I may well try...
ReplyDeleteSo I made the chicken last night for the fam... It was good; everyone liked it! This is the first time I used a cookie sheet instead of a glass baking pan for chicken, and the bottom side stuck to it. Did I do something wrong? Next time around I might try to tweak the process by frying it first (and, of course, adding lots of unnecessary calories :P). But the overriding opinion of all, despite a little stickiness: mmmm-mmm!
ReplyDeletep.s. What's the difference between Greek yogurt & regular yogurt anyway?
Barb, I probably should have said to cover cookie sheet with aluminum foil and use a non-stick spray. It should stick then.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad they liked it, but sorry for the stickiness.
The difference between Greek yogurt & regular is that Greek yogurt has a lot of protein. You can cook with Greek yogurt better than plain yogurt and it fills you up faster due to the protein. :D It’s just a great ingredient that’s versatile. I mix honey in it for a little sweet snack or I add herbs to it as a dip for cauliflower.
Sorry to derail your post w/all my comments, but perhaps it's useful info to others. I actually did cover the sheet w/foil and spray it w/Pam. So who knows what happened?...Maybe it's my oven.
ReplyDelete*googles recipes using Greek yogurt*
No problem, Barb. You're right, it might help others.
ReplyDeleteRecipes always need to be tweaked to work with us and our kitchens.
Take care and don't get blown away.
Thanks! I have about 20 squash! Looking for new ideas!
