Dinner for S

My friend S had a tough day yesterday. And I wanted to do something to cheer him up. Every Monday, S comes over for dinner. He drives over 3 hours to come visit me. One way! When I get home from work, he is sitting on my porch waiting for me. S always brings dinner, and usually something for Charlotte. Then he helps me with different projects around my house.

S is a great guy! He had a tough day yesterday. A really tough day. I wanted to do something special for him. Like cook him dinner. You know, instead of him buying something. So I'm planning on making this. Doesn't it look good? And it looks pretty easy. Something that I can't mess up. :)

Now I just need to go to work. And try and get off early. So that I can get to the grocery store. And hopefully have dinner ready for S. I told him not to worry about anything this week. Let's hope I can get it all done. H

Mexican Chicken

I just watched this video. And this chicken dinner looks so yummy! It reminds me of the food from my hometown. I really want to make this recipe. It looks super easy. And well, I need that. Because I'm not a good cook. And cooking chicken, it scares me. I once made me and T really sick. Because I don't think the chicken was all the way cooked.

I'm going to have to go to the grocery store tomorrow, after church. And I'm definitely going to make this. I'm so hungry! But tonight's dinner is already in the Crock Pot. I just can't believe how easy this looks to make. Yum! H

Betty's Party Chocolate-Coated Popcorn Recipe

This seriously looks good! How did I find this video? I still have no clue. But this chocolate coated popcorn looks amazing! I don't have any of these ingredients in my house. Remember I'm trying to be healthy? Well, I might just have to go grocery shopping. I really want some chocolate popcorn. :) H

I Should Learn How to Cook Like This...

Really, I don't know how to cook. Not very much. And not well. In fact, I'm pretty sure the one time I really attempted a big dinner for me and my hubby, I got us sick. I don't think I cooked the chicken all the way...

But these 2 videos give me a little hope. And around here, well Southern food is a must! I just don't know how to cook...





And now that I have an appetite again, I think I really need to start learning how to cook. Before I know it, I'll be a mommy. And my little girl will be depending on me to cook for her. I really want her to eat better than I did as a kid. I was pretty much raised on fast food and frozen food. Not good!

I don't think I'll start with this recipe. But I'm really going to focus on learning how to cook. At least by the time my daughter is old enough, I should know how to cook something. Something that tastes decent, and is somewhat healthy. :) H

Fettuccine Alfredo

The minute I seen this video, I started craving some Fettuccine Alfredo! My favorite is from Olive Garden. So creamy, cheesy, and yummy! I never really attempted to make it at home. I've seen the Alfredo sauce in a jar. But it never looked really good. Betty just makes it look so easy! Maybe it's a possibility. I might be able to succeed at this. That or I just need to go to Olive Garden! H
