What day are we on?

Not sure what day we are on... it has been a lah-hong day!!  We took the cousins for portraits.  3 hours later it was time to make dinner!!! 

DAY 5: Let me back up a bit... Wednesday night I made a great big meal that would surely make my grandma proud!  I made "Geneva Chicken", mashed potatoes and gravy and green bean casserole.  We also had a wonderful loaf of 'everything bread' from Walmart.  I invited the bestie Natalie and her boyfriend Matt over.  We had a good ol' fashioned meal together!

Geneva Chicken--by Danny

I was running late from working out so I called Danny to get the chicken prepared and in the oven.  When I said make sure you wash it really well.  He asked, "Like, with soap?"  hahahaha... I'm pretty sure he was kidding.  Anyway, he ended up following directions well and making the whole thing himself! 

Geneva chicken: 3-4lb.fryer: Wash (w/ just water).  Salt and pepper inside and out.  Put in a 450 degree oven for 20 minutes.  Then turn it down to 350 and add 1/2 c. water to the bottom of the pan.  Cook for 1 hr. 

The white stuff--gravy, mashed potatoes and bread!

Green bean casserole

The other stuff is just basic recipes... if you really would like to know how to make green bean casserole or mashed potatoes and gravy let me know... 

The pictures is blurry b/c my camera wasn't working properly...Natalie and Matt--

Nat told Matt to dress nice so he came in his tux!! Gotta love Matt!
We decided we should now have a fancy party where we dress black tie. How fun!!

DAY 6: OK so the next night, Thursday was Fifth Night Concert at Utica and we had sandwiches (and I had 2 chardonnays from Stonehorse)

DAY 7: I've made it one week!  So Friday, today, after the loooong portrait session...I made creamy pasta primavera. My favorite meal to make!

Here's how to make it:

1 box of penne pasta
2 c. chopped chicken (from the geneva chicken the other night) or you can use canned chicken breast

2 chopped red peppers

1 bunch of chopped asparagus

1 c. italian dressing

1 box of cream cheese

1/2 lemon--juice

Mix it all together and add parmesean cheese on the top..

It is so quick, easy and good!!!

It is good hot or cold

Now we have so many leftovers I won't have to cook for at least 3 days! Yay for me! :)
