i buy frozen chicken tenders by the bag at costco. i'll throw 10 or 12 in a ziplock in the morning and let them thaw throughout the day sometimes with no specific recipe in mind. we eat a lot of chicken.
the chicken is easy. i just brush a little bit of KC Masterpiece bbq sauce over the chicken and bake in a dish for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. the potatoes i boil for about 20 minutes (until tender) and then to top them, i melt 2 tbsp of butter and stir in 1.5 tsp of parsley and 1.5 tsp of chives. pour this mixture over the potatoes and yum! i got this recipe from another blog but i can't remember which one. i assume it's not trademarked but if i remember, i'll be sure to reference it. the veggies are just a steamers bag of mixed carrots, peas, corn and green beans.
i prefer real butter so i try to use it sparingly. most other times i use a spread like smart balance.

This looks so yummy, grandma and I wll have to try this one out.
I am so excited about this new blog. I am always trying to think of good things to make for dinner that are healthy. Something I have wanted to do lately is learn new ways to make veggies. I usually just steam broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. But I had some squash the other day when I was out and want to learn to make some new veggie dishes so if you have any ideas I would love to hear them:)
Mmmmmm. Idk if you want to know or not, but just in case.... bottled BBQ sauce is super high in sugar. I make my own (cheaper too!) with Worchestershire sauce, mustard & honey. Or even better yet, dry rub.
yes. yes. yes. i do know bbq sauce is high in sugar, that's why it's so darn delish! i would love your recipe to make my own. will you send it to me so i can give it a try. bbq sauce along with ketchup are included in my list of "consume moderately" foods. i don't consume a lot of sugar so i don't feel too bad but there's always room for improvement!
