Cook out

Well, little has been done around the kitchen lately. 

It is actually quite sad that nothing has been cooked, by me at least!!

I tried some baked BBQ chicken last week. Not hard, right? Just season the chicken, bake, and throw some BBQ sauce on top of it, let it bake some more... 

Nope, not that easy for me... You have to remember, This Mama Can't Cook... The chicken may have came out much better if I hadn't forgotten about it.  We had a few tenderloins left over so I put them in the baking dish frozen. I seasoned it well, turned the oven on 350 and went about my business. I typically ALWAYS put the timer on but this time since I was doing things in the kitchen, I thought I would remember. I fed my baby his dinner, took him on a stroller ride (yes, I know not safe to leave oven on while not in the house), came back in and we played and read some books. It wasn't until my stomach growled did I remember that I threw the chicken into the oven!!

My tenderloins shrunk to the size of nuggets!! Thought I could cover it up and just throw some Sweet Baby Ray's on top of it... Nope, it was pretty darn tough!! Not burned but just real tough!

So after that entire situation, I unofficially declared a break from the kitchen.

We have been taking advantage of the nice weather and have been cooking out lately.  Besides popping open a can of baked beans, or boiling some rice in a bag, I haven't been involved with the cooking.  Tomorrow though I plan on cooking this new chicken dish I found. I bought some corn on the cob at the grocery store so maybe we will have that as on of our sides! Found a recipe for that too which includes milk, brown sugar, and some other things I just would not have expected to go with corn on the cob.
