B B Q Chicken and crack potatoes.

On our lovely anniversary weekend my husband and I went to Eureka Springs, AR.  We sampled some of the local cuisine.  The Basin Park Hotel has a pretty good salad, but prices are questionable. Then we tried the hot dog shop across from the hotel. OMG the biggest freakin hotdogs ever! Pretty good too. YUM.  Then we tried the Mud Street Cafe.  Cute little hippy joint.  They have old game cards for conversation starters on the table. And the food....

I had a orange blueberry muffin...YUM and Dustin got the over priced breakfast. Eggs, breakfast potatoes, sausage, toast. Yeah yeah. So I stole a bite of potatoes...HOOKED! These things could give anyone the munchies I swear you want to eat everything because they are so fricken good. We asked the waitress who swore she had seen us before what was on the potatoes she said Cavenders Greek Seasoning.  Dustin said Cavenders crack seasoning the oregano has been switched with something else LOL.

Of coarse we bought some on the way home.

BBQ Chicken
2-3 Chicken Breast
Jack Daniels BBQ sauce
brown sugar

Put the chicken in baking pan, put about 1/4 c brown sugar on it and pour on the BBQ sauce. Bake an hour or so. YUMM Chicken should just fall apart with a fork. It is good on sandwhichs or just on its own.

Crack Potatoes
Cut potatoes into about 1/2 in cubed.
Chop onions
 saute in Vegetable Oil untill tender
Sprinkle in the Crack...LOL Cavenders Seasoning...YUMMM!

YUMMMMM.
So find Cavenders it says it can be used on fish, chicken, steaks, and vegtables.  I believe it ! Stuff is good, and most likely really unhealthy.

So there may be soemthing to this.  I cooked while they were still at school.  Kt has some gymnastic thing tonight in an hour so I thought we'd just eat early instead of me cooking at 7 tonight or us eating out, cuz that is getting so expensive.

Pretty decent little recipe I found online for Mardi Gras. I am so making a king's cake tomorrow.  The king's cake is to celebrate the king's that went to see Jesus. Interesting. So the baby in the cake in some cultures the baby is to be brought to the nearest church on Fat Tuesday. Like Jesus' parents brought him to the church.

Interesting. And it looks yummy of coarse!

Priceless!

Dang the Eggs!

So me and sous chef decide we are going to make patty melts, and potatoe salad last night.  We make a mad dash to the store because Dustin had a client he had to meet, then come home and of coarse chaos has ensued. The little girls are fighting with the down the street kids. Kenzie is in mass hysteria. And Leylah has gotton herself stuck up a tree so far that dad had to pull out the big ladder and fire man carry her down to safety....See what going to the store for an hour does?

Kt puts the potatoes on and gets them to boil. Then there is a crises over wipes and Knz. I spare the details since it shouldn't go with cooking.

Hands washed. I saute the onions. Then realize maybe starting the burgers first would have been a good idea. So I make the burgers.  Have Kt get her potatoes and cut them in half we add the mayo and mustard...and the chopped onions....and dang the eggs.

I  have no idea why I always forget the eggs.  Most of the time making tuna noodle salad or potatoe salad or even just a good salad on our trying to loose weight days. I always forget the eggs. They make the dish.  Kinda like the name David. It is like a huge mental block for me.  Geez.

Anyways, so I get the onions on the burgers add the cheese and rye bread because some one said patty melt on rye please in some movie....Go to serve and husband says I don't like rye bread. But I will eat it!...Grrrrrr. Of coarse we are all done eating before the eggs are cooked and in the potatoe salad.

Redemption. deep fry biscuits. Chocolate Icing on top and vanilla pudding in the center. All are happy!

Potatoe salad for lunch today.
