Steak & Twice Baked Potatoes

Tonight's dinner was so good. The steak was seared to perfection (thanks Mr. B!) and the potatoes full of ooey-gooey goodness. Top that off with a nice crisp salad and some of the honey-oatmeal bread I baked earlier and you have a meal fit for a king .....or queen!

Front Porch Sittin' Wednesday

Yep, it's that day again, you know the one...it's WEDNESDAY! That means no cooking for me. Instead we will enjoy the efforts of TP, as Ms. J is away to the Smokies. (Lucky woman) It's lasagna, salad and some yummy dessert!

BBQ Chicken

Okay, some days just don't work out like you plan. I arrived home to find boneless, skinless chicken breasts thawed and ready to prepare instead of the bone-in meat my recipe called for (my bad - I prefer to think someone switched the packages on me). Since I like bone-in chicken for my oven recipes, I kindly asked Mr. B if he would grill the chicken for our dinner and he consented. So I pounded those bad boys to an even thickness, sprinkled them with Paula Deen's house seasoning and some olive oil and off to the hot grill they went. Mr. B basted them with the BBQ sauce called for in my recipe at the end of the cooking time. Dinner saved:)

It's Okay

Tonight we are having a super easy meal. I don't do this often but it's okay now and then to rely on those boxed mixes. I may have a few facts later or I may not.

Thursday Meal
Cheeseburger Macaroni Hamburger Helper
Salad
Green Beans
Crescent Rolls (Garlic Flavored)

No recipes needed:)

Food Fact: For a change of pace, take the entire roll of crescents out of the package, slice jelly roll style and bake.
