Anywho! Here's a short recap on this week in the life of "Kelcie's Kitchen" ....
Sunday: Once again, roasted mesquite chicken, with a homegrown jalapeno and onion shoved inside. Turned out delicious, perfectly moist and tender... still hate the word "moist".Since the chicken would take forever to roast, and I was scatter brained, we had ground beef nachos, the way my Momma used to make them, for dinner. Yum, yum! I love anything covered in cheese.
While I was making dinner I was also attempting to make sugar cookie cutouts. Haaaaaaaaa. I don't know when I stopped knowing how to make cookies. Apparently it was recently. I am, however, putting some serious blame on my Air-Bake cookie sheet... Every time I have baked with it, I've burned something! Last night (Monday) I baked the remainder of the sugar cookie dough I had with a different cookie sheet, and didn't burn a thing. I used whipped frosting instead of the good frosting the night before. Ugh. Fail!
Sunday the cookies I made were with vanilla frosting (delicious) and decorated with my new tip and pastry bag. Need some work with that, but I can see potential! I also added some fondant on a few, and I can say, rolled thin the fondant was much better. Woohoo! Happy Birthday Jason.
While baking these .... cookies (not good, not bad, just cookies) I proceeded to give myself a wonderful scar:
Monday: For my love of all things salad, we had Caesar Chicken Salad, making good use of the roasted chicken. I added freshly grated Parmesan, avocado, and croutons... and some bread lightly warmed in the oven with butter, oregano, Parmesan and garlic. Holy delicious. Sometimes I forget how much I love salad... and creamy dressing.
Sorry, no pic, I ate it all way too fast.
Tonight: Chicken something for dinner... Ideas? ... and a recipe test: S'mores cupcakes... Torched and all. We'll see how they turn out!
