As much as Thatboy is a good sport about eating everything I make, he has very simple tastes. Whenever I "take the night off" and make something easy and unexciting, downright boring he raves and tells me its his favorite thing ever. Like this baked chicken. There is nothing special about this baked chicken. For pete's sake, it doesn't even use any fancy spices!
And yet, he insists it's the best chicken he ever ate. It's his favorite. He pushed aside his beans and chips so he could get at the chicken faster. And those beans and chips? My way of dealing with stale tortilla chips. I JUST opened the bag and the first chip out of it was stale. So what do you do? Turn them into nachoes. You don't even notice stale chips when they're all soft and mushy from hot beans. Heat some refried beans and add cheese, tomatoes, and chips and just stir stir stir.

ReplyDeleteI <3 chicken too....but I always have to do something to my food. No Plain Jane dishes around here it just doesn't appeal to me...and I have to eat:D
ReplyDeleteInteresting tip on the chips. Though, chips rarely last long enough to be stale in my household.
ReplyDeleteIt is always the simple things that are good. Like the chip idea too!
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure the nachos were some sort of curry! Lol. Nice tip!
ReplyDeleteI know, my kids only want chocolate chips cookies when I want to make them fancy fancy cookies.
