Basic Dinner...but Lovely Dessert....

Alas....our apple streak ended here for the week...as we ended up with pretty much "Dinner: 101" last night:) .... 

Our main dish was a new one for us:  Honey-Mustard Sesame Chicken.  I got all of the ingredients ready to coat the chicken, including the homemade honey mustard....

Made from Pine Barrens (aka-Jersey Devil Territory!) Honey;)....

And coated them in the yummy panko/sesame seed mix...I LOVE sesame seeds!

The coating was nice & crispy and subtly sweet for some reason...so the leftover 'dipping' honey mustard gave this dish a nice ZIP from the Dijon mustard...yum!  Scott LOVED the homemade honey mustard!

Anddd....we had some basic, but beloved, sides:  Baked Sweet Potato & Roasted Baby Broccoli (ok...maybe a little TOO roasted;) hahahahahaha....

I love, love, LOVE that "baked potato" season is upon us!  Remember my baked potato haiku?? ;)

And despite our "basic" dinner, dessert was a LOT more fun, as I finally gathered up all my ingredients to make a mini-Mount Vesuvius:)

The malted powder IS essential.....all I was missing was the Reddi-Whip!

YUM!  The jarred Franklin Fudge tasted just as good as the live & in-person version!  Super thick & mega chocolate-y!  THIS shall hold me over till we make it back to the Franklin Fountain:).... 

JUST. SO. GOOD! :)

Ok...so apples are going to be on hold for ONE more day, as I had to bust out the big guns in comfort food for tonight's dinner!  It has been ONE. GLOOMY. DAY!  I am just ready to curl up on the couch and eat cornbread (ahhh...a hint! :)

Have a good night! :)
