Thank you for visiting my blog!

For those of you new to my blog, I thought I should let you know what my mission is. I am working my way through Rachael Ray's 365: No Repeats cookbook. It is my goal over time to prepare all of the recipes in this book. At the pace I am going, it may take me 5 years, but I am practical enough to realize that there is no way that I can cook every single night of the week, as well as purchase all the ingredients for every recipe every night and still keep up the mortgage payments! I hope you are inspired to get into the kitchen and try some new recipes yourself. Your comments are always welcome and I appreciate you stopping by. May the Lord bless you all!

Night 14


Recipe 42
Cider Vinegar Chicken with Smashed Potatoes and a Watercress and Cucumber Salad
Matt rating ****1/2

Ingredients used:

Red-skinned potatoes
EVOO
Chicken breast halves
S&P
Yellow onions
Thyme
Honey
Garlic cloves
Apple cider vinegar
Chicken stock
Half-and-Half
Unsalted butter
Dijon mustard
Iceberg lettuce (it called for Watercress but Matt couldn't find it)
Seedless cucumber

I suppose I should just let my husband the photographer start taking all the pictures from now on since this picture looks like it belongs in a magazine! This dish was definitely different with the tangy kick from the vinegar but it was soooo good! I'm usually not a fan of caramelized onions but they were really good with the vinegar, broth, and seasonings used. My 16 year old nephew is staying with us this week and I think he didn't stop to breathe before he finished, and then he went back for seconds! I guess 16 year old boys will eat anything you put in front of them though, huh! Matt liked it too though so we'll call it a success!

I'm going to my church's women's retreat tomorrow (yay!!!) and won't get back til later Saturday night, so I'll cook again Sunday night. Have a great weekend!
