So when I first decided I wanted a blog it was because I had really funny cooking things happen to me. While they stressed me out at the time, as I look back I laugh. Tonight it happened again.....
I decided to try out chicken parmigiana from my Rachel Ray cookbook....simple enough right? NO! especially since I'm not a big cook.
1. I read the ingredients wrong before I went shopping. I read 1 cup of parmigiana reggiano (or whatever) as parmesan like ragu....HAHA and I found ragu named parmigiano something, I thought this was to be the sauce.
2. Because of #1 I didn't make sure that I had parmesan cheese which is what I really needed...
3. I pulled out my chicken from the freezer and it was super frozen together...UGH
4. At the beginning you dip the chicken in flour, egg and then breadcrumbs with parmesan cheese.....not even realizing yet that I had the whole parmesan mixup, I put mozzerella cheese in the bowl to dip with. My husband says I never understand cheeses....he is right, I Just can't seem to get those two in my head!
5. Finally realize I made the mistake and hubby goes out for parmesan cheese...he's so sweet-had to go to 2 places! and I had already gone grocery shopping earlier today. haha
6. I got it all together eventually...I do not normally do meals which require so many steps but I always feel good when I finish even if I'm a brat during. :-)
Anywho, it ended up pretty good. Hubby says he liked it and I think I did too, it was a little garlicy tho so I think next time I would make my own adjustments! But I'm so glad I tried something new and it was somewhat of a success! Hubby is even taking leftovers for lunch tomorrow! YAY! :-)
This was my 3rd new meal I made, one night over break I sat down and picked out a few recipes I've never tried. I also made cheddar broccoli soup-yum! I feel like a good wife when I cook real meals that don't come in a frozen bag!
Welp tomorrow I've got a long long day of school and then cheer practice, boo. ha I better get! Maybe I'll go finish my big letter "M" I'm making for Molly,our puppy! I sure do miss crafty like projects! my goal for making curtains was by christmas.....woops....I still haven't picked out material! DANGIT! know any good places?
