OK Monday, Let’s Do This
Ready or not, Monday is here. Let’s do this…whatever this is. Have the best day possible good people. Now we get coffee.
The Scenic City – Chattanooga, TN
Today we took a turn around the Bluff View Art District of Chattanooga after lunch. Tony’s Pasta shop is where we normally celebrate our anniversary but due to the fact we went to Florida on our actual anniversary those plans got put on hold. Today was overcast but not too warm so we enjoyed the afternoon hanging out in one of our places in our hometown. Within walking distance are two walking bridges, condos, the Hunter Museum Of American Art and many other cool things. Each view is wonderful and full of manmade and natural beauty that surrounds our cities downtown core.
Brown Sugar Chicken
This brown sugar chicken is savory and sweet. I enjoyed the subtle flavors of it. Try it sometime.
- 1 to 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breasts or strips
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line baking dish with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray. Mix dry ingredients in shallow bowl. Pat chicken dry, dip in mixture and coat well on both sides, and place in dish. Sprinkle any remaining coating over top. Bake 15-20 minutes; spoon or brush sauce over the top, then switch oven to broil to allow coating to caramelize (2-5 minutes). Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.
Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta
- 8 oz pasta (or pasta substitute)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 small (7-9 oz) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 tsp salt (for pasta water)
Cook pasta in salted water according to directions; drain and return to pot over medium-low heat. Stir in butter until melted, then seasonings and tomato sauce, then cream and cheese. Serve when cheese is melted and incorporated.
Happy Saturday Good People!
Hello my friends, let’s make today great. I am glad to be home on a Saturday doing some chilling out along with getting some things done around the house. The air conditioning in our house isn’t working at its best so we are going to power through. No matter what you are doing today I hope its good, fun and productive if it needs to be.
