I followed last week’s menu pretty well. I wasn’t as impressed by the Cheesy Stuffed Peppers as I thought I would be. I think next time, I’ll try a classic recipe. The Country Chicken with Gravy was really good, though. It’s definitely a keeper recipe. I even burned the chicken a little because I accidentally turned the wrong eye on high….I hate it when I do that, and it happens quite often. I served the chicken with the gravy, rice (I’m a good Southern girl who loves rice and gravy), sweet corn, and biscuits. It was such a good dinner, with strawberry pie for dessert.
Because the kids were in Super Saturday, I didn’t get to try the Strawberry Chicken Salad, but I will save it for another week. It did look like a great recipe.
