This is a classic example of everyday Megan. I thought I'd make my husband a big, delicious, southern lunch. The menu was fried chicken strips, gravy, mixed veggies, cooked apples, and garlic bread. I'd never made fried chicken strips before, so I was really pleased with how well they turned out. However, in the midst of keeping up with everything (or so I thought), I lost track of the apples...and apparently, the brown sugar I put on top caramelized just a little too much. The result? Burnt apples.
Some good did come out of this meal though. For one, I've been cooking mainly just easy meals since we've been home, like chili, baked potatoes, scrambled egg sandwiches, stuff like that, so this was my first complete meal I've made in our remodeled kitchen and the countertop space is unbelievable!!! I loved it and it totally put me in the mood to cook. For two, eating at the bar side of our new granite island is a lot of fun and makes any meal better! And three, despite the burnt apples, Ben still gave this meal a 10 out of 10. Thanks, babe!
