Last night....

Lemon Chicken, Scalloped Potatoes, and Broccoli

Both the lemon chicken and scalloped potatoes were new recipes from Taste of Home (My new favorite source of recipes!!!)
The lemon chicken was delicious!  So good.  Basically its oven fried chicken dipped in butter and lemon juice with some garlic before its breaded.  Then it bakes in the oven.  Very tasty, full of flavor. Will make it again.  I cut the chicken into little nuggets instead of using the whole breast.  Each piece got a little more flavor that way.
The scalloped potatoes were ok.  They needed a little something else.  Definitely smelled better than they tasted.  The onion and green pepper were a nice addition, but maybe a little salt (I'm not a fan of salt....I regularly cut it out of things, but in this case I think it needed a little more). 
Then we had Edy's Peppermint Ice Cream for dessert.  WOW!!!  So good....little pieces of candy canes in it.  I'm not a big candy cane fan, but this ice cream is GREAT!!!  I know this breaks my sugar free attempt, but you have to have a treat every now and then and this one was definitely worth it!!  I also bought lots of fruit at the grocery store so I can have healthy snacks and desserts. 
Thank God its Friday.  And its a long weekend!!!!  Hope everyone has a great weekend...not sure what I'll be cooking, so it will be an adventure!
