Parchment is great for cooking lots of batches of Christmas cookies. Just have a few sheets and slide the sheet of baked cookies off to cool while you get the next batch in the oven faster. They through a lit of uses on cookies.

I need to make some chicken, broccoli, and rice tomorrow.

I'd make it tonight but hubby fell asleep as soon as he sat down down when he got home. I keep telling him to go to bed earlier

Well, that didn't happen, so we had Buddha Bowls again - lettuce, onion, bean and burger stuff, yogurt (instead of sour cream), pumpkin seeds, orange bell pepper, and charred corn. (Just fry it in a bit of butter/oil until it starts getting a bit charred.) Oh, and topped with grated cheese. A couple of Tostitos to help scoop it all up on a spoon.


Sounds like my taco salad. Lettuce and veggie salad in a bowl, topped with taco meat, black beans, salsa or taco sauce, sour cream, and crunched up Tostitos. Makes for a fast, yummy meal.

Mmmm...

I still want to try that chicken recipe, you shared with us. What's your thoughts on making it in a big cast iron skillet instead? I also have a lid for it. Be gentle I'm just a padawan learner.

Absolutely! I used a big 17" cast iron skillet instead of a baking pan. No lid. I think it helped with the browning on the bottom and there's no problem using it under the broiler.

Honestly, when I was making it, I was thinking that it was going to be a flop. After I put the skillet under the broiler and that chicken started to get those little browned areas...well, it went from 'just okay' to stellar! Yum. I'm ready to make it again. Good luck- you'll probably love it, too.

I'm totally worn out after working today. Have pizza crust rising. Don't even have the energy to go out and play in the garden for a bit. Tomorrow is a new day. Hoping a good night's sleep will recharge the batteries.

Thank You - I'm going to try it with my iron skillet.
