my Momma gave me a roasting pan for Christmas. roasted chicken was first on my list! and since I was trying something new anyway, I also attempted giblet gravy...fabulous! a tad time consuming, but EASY AS PIE. unfortunately, I have issues with thickening sauces, so my gravy was a little thin. learn patience (I have NONE) and yours will probably turn out beautifully thick.
and a big shout out of THANKS, Mom! for recommending I cover my chicken instead of following classical roasting methods...it was the most moist bird I've ever eaten.

these green beans are sooooo good, mainly because they aren't actually all that healthy for you after cooking them in bacon grease. a friend of mine also adds potatoes to the mix, which I will definately be trying next time.

this was the most fun I've had cooking in a long time. a co-worker gave me this recipe. and by gave, I mean she gave me a list of ingrediants and I had to figure out measurements. LOL my end result didn't taste quite as good as hers, but still...I'm proud of how it turned out. so here's what I came what with, adjust if you wish.

was eating it, he was muttering under his breath every other bite: "goddamn this is good."
so, take it from Doug
....TASTY!! and oh, yeah? did I mention simple? no notes on this one, tis perfect just the way it is. now, pardon me. I have leftover creamy wonderfulness to go scarf.

last night I got to try something new! butterflying chicken breasts. and I totally did it wrong, I found out later thanks to google. but whatever, it worked.
this recipe smelled wonderful and tasted even better. make sure you make the sauce, because it really brings it home. also, a tip? I cut each slice of cheese into four pieces and rolled the ham around them to make a tube...helped hold the cheese IN the chicken a tad. enjoy!
Pee. Ess. the broccoli? fresh from my friends' garden and FABULOUS.
