Made the Effort

Hello Bloggies!

The rest of the afternoon was spent planning my husband’s (Tim) birthday!  I think I have a pretty good plan!  You’ll see tomorrow!

I’ve been trying to make the effort to use a lot of our pantry items that have been sitting there.  We have food that we have purchased, and never eat.  Tim had chicken marinating, so I grabbed some bread crumbs, broccoli, and a box of potatoes.

Warning!!!!

This dinner did NOT turn out good…. do NOT attempt!!

Here’s what I started with

IMG_0786Yes, that’s Betty Crocker boxed scalloped potatoes.

In an effort to add some fiber to the dish, I decided to add broccoli and make it casserole style.  The end result was not good, appearance and taste :(

I lightly coated the chicken in bread crumbs, here was the end result

Off to watch the Biggest Loser!

night ;)

    Well at least the meal LOOKS super duper yummy! :) But I’m a sucker for anything carby/cheesy (and broccoli-y) :)

    Happy early birthday to your hub!
