Tonight I made two recipes that I found - one on my Android phone and one just searching online - for a grand total of two very pleasing dishes. My audience was myself, Josh and Ben and all were pleased. Especially me :) I added vanilla frozen yogurt to the warmed cobbler in order to create the hot-and-cold mixture that so many people enjoy. I actually prefer mine cold... but don't tell anybody. Especially in the south.
I used Arnold's whole wheat kaiser rolls instead of buns and fresh green beans on the side of the BBQ chicken. It was my first attempt at making anything that involved "pulling" and I must say it came out nicely! Instead of boiling the chicken as the recipe calls for, I kiiind of boiled it in a skillet. Very little water. It turned out great!
It was a pleasant start to an evening that could have been better spent - the three of us went to see The Karate Kid, which was truly terrible. The kid was adorable, but his acting was not. Spare yourself. But! This is a food blog, so. Back to the food - Ben was kind enough to bring over some very fancy and tasty apple juice, which was a nice complement to the dinner itself. Anyone interested in the recipes will find them below; I made a few tweaks to mine so feel free to take them and run! Get creative; it's almost always more fun AND tastier that way.
Enjoy :D
