Tasty Tuesday

Sunday night we had friends over and I made some more of the Pioneer Woman's wonderful recipes! I made the Peach-Whiskey Chicken and paired it with the Fancy Mac & Cheese (sans gorgonzola) and sateed spinach. It was great and I do have to admit the mac & cheese was pretty good without the gorgonzola...but we won't tell the husband :) I am SO mad at myself, I was chatting away having a good time and completely forgot to take pictures of the chicken so I'm using the PW's picture. Grrr! 


Peach-Whiskey Chicken
recipe from The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier

and I thought I would leave you on this Tuesday with a funny picture of me cooking. My Mom bought this apron for me a few years ago when I was not cooking much...I still like to wear it from time to time when it helps keep my dresses clean :)

Don't you want one too? Thanks Mom!
