Dinner Impossible...

Well go figure... I planned a yummy dinner tonight and before I could tell Adam he had made plans to go hunting after work. Erg... such is the life of a hunter - during hunting season I should pretty much not count on him for dinner - it was good by myself anyway. He'll be enjoying the cold leftover version here shortly when he gets home :)

French's Onion Chicken 


Ingredients: 
  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Mustard (either regular yellow or dijon works)
  • French's Fried Onions
Directions:
      Thaw chicken and remove fat. Coat in mustard. Crush up onions and coat chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 min or until cooked through. 

Twice Baked Potatoes


Ingredients:
  • Baker potatoes
  • Butter
  • Gorgonzola Cheese
  • Bacon bits
  • Milk
Directions:
      Bake or microwave potatoes until partially cooked and soft to the touch. Cut off tops and scoop out centers. Place a few crumbles of Gorgonzola cheese and 1/2 tbsp of butter in the bottom of each skin - bake in the oven on 350 degrees for 30 min. While the skins are baking, mash the inside of the potatoes with milk and butter. After the skins are done, fill with mashed potatoes. Top with cheese crumbles and bacon bits and cook until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Cheesy Bacon Green Beans

Ingredients:
  • Fresh green beans
  • 3-4 slices of bacon
  • Gorgonzola cheese
  • Almond slices
Directions:
       Cook bacon and set aside to cool and crumble. Place almonds in the oven to roast on 350 degrees for 15 -20 minutes or until golden. Blanche green beans. Saute green beans in bacon grease. Place on serving dish and top with bacon, Gorgonzola crumbles and almonds.

So there ya go! My yummy dinner... topped with a glass of Chardonnay - I'm not sure that's the right pairing but it suited me just fine :) Cheers!
