Yummy Garlic Chicken fried Chicken
About this Cook
You always hear that when a young couple gets married the groom always gains weight once he starts getting home cooked meals from his new bride. Well my husband and I are going on 6 years of marriage and he's probably lost about 40lbs in that time. I'm sad to say that it's been an ongoing joke in my family that I never cook a real meal for my family. If it didn't come out of a box, It probably wasn't me who cooked it! So by joining allrecipes.com I'm hoping to broaden my horizons and feed my hubby and baby some good, healthy, homecooked meals.
My favorite things to cook
I love making rice a roni =o). One of my favorite meals is spaghetti with prego sauce right out of the jar and a loaf of garlic bread with everything already on it that you just have to throw in the oven. My husband thinks it's a joke to eat spaghetti sauce out of a jar. It sure isn't like his mom's, that's for sure! Maybe I'll find a yummy spaghetti sauce recipe on here.
My cooking triumphs
I made calzones once all by myself. They were beautiful and my family really liked them.
My cooking tragedies
I am not talented in the art of cooking. When I was in college I thought I'd make a cake from scratch for my boyfriend. I was not familiar with the term "confectioner's sugar" so I used granulated sugar for the frosting. The cake turned out awesome but the frosting sure was grainy and crunchy!!! (I liked it though)

Acini di Pepe Salad
This is so refreshing that it makes an awesome summertime treat. Although you'll crave it all year long! The flavor is great but what adds to it is the texture of the tiny acini di pepe balls mixed with the puffiness of the marshmallows and the burst of juciness as you bite into the pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges. This is a family favorite for sure!

Garlic Chicken Fried Chicken
This was an awesome dish. It was easy to make and my whole family loved it, (even my 17-month-old). The mouthwatering flavor left us wanting more and it has a slight crispy texture. We thought we'd need to put some kind of sause, dressing or gravy on it but after one moist bite, we realized, the chicken was all we needed. I will make this recipe again, for sure!
