Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

I made a YUMMY dinner tonight thanks to this cooking queen over at http://kendallandkeith.blogspot.com/. I have never been a big fan of cooking but have been giving it a go here lately and Kendall has been a great inspiration to me. She loves to cook and makes it look so easy and fun. I have made several of her dishes and she has never disappointed. This dish was super easy to make and is definitely going to be a regular in my kitchen. You can find the recipe along with lots of other home cooked goodness on Kendall's blog. Maybe she'll inspire you to get in the kitchen too!
Parmesan Chicken Bundles

I served this with asparagus (canned...I know, I know...fresh would've been better) topped with shredded cheese.

I even made a dessert! We had Martha Stewart's Banana Bread topped with an Orange Glaze...YUMMMM! I've tried several banana bread recipes over the years and this is my all time fave. The sour cream makes it SUPER moist. Absolutely divine!

Martha Stewart Banana Bread

Ingredients:

1/2 C butter

1 C sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 C flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 C ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 C sour cream

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 C chopped walnuts or pecans

Orange Glaze Ingredients (Courtesy of Kendall)

1 C confectioner's sugar

3 tbsp orange juice

1 tsp grated orange peel

Mix all ingredients, fold in pecans or walnuts, transfer to greased loaf pan. Bake at 350*F for approximately an hour. Create the orange glaze by whisking above ingredients and pour it over freshly baked bread. I could eat the entire loaf myself and just might! I AM eating for two, ya know.
