Thanksgiving Week -November 22nd

This Thanksgiving Week as you get ready for the big day, the big turkey and having friends over. While you Iron the new napkins you got,

While You Sweep the whole house,

While you cook a lot of the food the day before, Or the day of,

In the end some get up to watch the parade,

Some don't.

In the end we all sit down and eat what ever are the traditional side dishes you family does, we all try and enjoy this one day. I hope you have had a great thanksgiving but I hope through all this hoopla, what this day is really about. On this November 22nd lets not forget to be thankful for these things such as, the house we have to clean, the napkins we have to iron, the food on our plates and the ability to watch the parade.  Thats not mentioning, the family and friends  that surround us on this day.

 But we must think about the ones who don't have all this. The ones who don't have a home, who don't have food, who don't have family and friends.
               Yes, this is thanksgiving, Not christmas but a way to help and give something to those who don't have all this, that we are thankful for today, is just to fill a small shoe box and turn it into operation Christmas Child. it doesn't matter whats in it or whats not, but this small shoebox can change a childs life.
                I hope you have had a great thanksgiving this year. Help a child have a great christmas while your at it. : )

Blackened Chicken with Roasted Garlic Alfredo - October 8th

Yummy Blackened Chicken with Roasted Garlic Alfredo!!  It was Good and just so you know just because it's called blackened chicken doesn't mean that their burnt.(:

Ingredients:

a large bag of  Chicken Breasts
Creole Seasoning 
Olive Oil
2 containers of Alfredo Sauce
1 Tablespoon of Roasted Garlic
28 oz. of Dry Egg Noodles

Pound the Chicken to even thickness, then drizzle olive oil over the chicken and lightly coat the Creole Seasoning on both sides.  You then will want to cook the Chicken in a frying pan till it is done ( it depends on how long per Chicken breasts due to the thickness). During this you will want to cook the noodles and start to warm the Alfredo Sauce. Once you have done this you will want to combine the  two. Once everything is ready you can serve the noodles on a plate and then put the chicken on top. It's amazing I hope you try it and enjoy.

See it's not Burnt you should try it for yourself. (:

Happy Happy Birthday

Seeing it was my Sis's Birthday  We got the fun of making belguin waffles for Breakfast. It was fun, (: 
Then For Lunch we had Freshly Made  Panini's.

They were AMAZING! Smelled Amazing, Tasted Amazing, and even looked Amazing. They were simply Amazing. (:
Then came dinner... It was also really good. We had An italian Meatloaf, Cajun Mac and Cheese and Homemade Garlic and Honey Rolls.  It was Good. (:

Then  came along dessert, which was a Boston Cream Pie.

So all in all I did alot of helping with the cooking I don't know  if that counts or not. But I had fun doing it. Even though It wasn't planned for this blog I thought My sis's Birthday meals were worth putting on the blog. 

For the belguin Waffles we basicly just pick a basic recipe from our 'Now your cooking' program which I'm not quite sure where we got it before that. As For the Panini's we made sandwitchs  then put them in the panini machine and Ta Da! The Sandwitch is ready. It really was  Amazing. Then we spent making  most of the afternoon making  homemade meatloaf and cajun Mac&Cheese and then the rolls and the dessert so the meal was  Awesomely Amazing as me and my friends put it and it sure does fit the name. (: Hope you enjoy.

Cok the meat, then spread it in a 13 by 9. Once you've done that put a layer of Colby Jack (or Cheddar Cheese) on top of the meat. Now its time to mix the other ingredients; onion, milk, bisquick,eggs, salt. this should make a creamy gravy looking liquid (expect for the onions in it). Pour that over the cheese and the meat.  Stick it in the Oven for 35 min. at 400 F.  It Should Look like the picture above.  It's an easy recipe for a busy day. It was yummy. (:

A warm Breakfast on a cold Day - January 20th

 So this morning I woke up and looked around for something appetizing for breakfast. Well there was the normal options such as: cereal, toast, bagels etc. That's when I saw the box of Bisquick sitting on the back of the counter from last nights dinner. immediately the first thing that popped in my head was; hey I could have warm straight-out-of-the-oven biscuits. So you'll never guess what I had for breakfast!  That's right I had freshly baked Biscuits. Be jealous. (: (:
