I don't have many pictures to show you today as my lovely husband did all of the cooking while I ran a few errands last night. HOWEVER, I CAN attest to the fact that this was an AMAZING dish to come home to! I proclaimed "It smells just like Thanksgiving!" as soon as I walked through the door;) And WHAT, pray tell, could be more welcoming than THANKSGIVING DINNER??? Answer: Nothing:)
So while it wasn't turkey & stuffing, the wonderful aromas were coming from this: Maple-Walnut Chicken with Cheddar-Apple Rice!
OK....maple + walnuts + chicken? I know, I know...we were BOTH skeptical on this one, but we LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDD this dish! The crunchy & toasted walnuts were the perfect compliment to the sweet maple. Oh holy heaven, this was good!
But the main star of the evening might just have been the Apple-Cheddar Rice! Again, we were totally sceptical and I was afraid this was going to be too sweet of a side dish, but the herbs and cheddar really mellowed out the sweetness from the apples. This MIGHT just be a new favorite side dish;)
And of course, you just can't beat 'silver can' peas, as we like to call them:) They are simply THE BEST!
Sooo...while not SUPER exciting of a post...it was still an awesome and TOTALLY FALL dinner:) I give it my highest recommendations:)
Well...our 'crossover ingredient' for tonight's dinner isn't an original one (apples, AGAIN!), but we will be mixing it up with ANOTHER FALL vegetable:) Hope you're having a great week...this one is FLYIN by for me!!
