Pinterest Project #1: Potatoes & Crunchy Chicken Dinner

I started my day snuggling with my bud Nico and enjoyed his adorable face. I can honestly look at that kid all day long and not even feel bad that that's the only thing I've done. I feel my time has been well used. Melissa was doing all feedings in person, which meant she had to stay at the hospital all day to be there every 3 hours to feed Nico.

I offered to cook dinner because well that;s one less thing Monico & Melissa have to worry about. I decided to try this recipe for red potatoes because it had good comments and it was very easy. The recipe was simple: Red Potatoes, 1 cup of melted butter, and 1 packet of Italian dressing. You melt the butter and mix Italian dressing ingredients and pour over potatoes and bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees.

The potatoes looked and smelled wonderful! The downside, they tasted plain :-( I tasted one and it was very plain and had no flavor. I was very disappointed about it. Everyone ended up using ketchup on the potatoes, so sad.

 



 

The main dish was baked crunchy onion chicken made with French Onions. Again the recipe was simple enough and this one actually came out really good. I for the most part eat a vegetarian diet but I also happen to live with carnivores, who if they could eat meat all three meals a day, they would. So I made enough just for them. Here is the recipe link Crunchy Onion Chicken The only change I made was that I added the 1 egg AND the 1/4 cup of Honey Mustard and that made the onions stick better to the chicken breast. It smelled awesome and there were no left overs, so I'm not sure if it was because people were starving or it was good. I'd like to think it was good. I will definitely make this again, minus the potatoes.
