My husband and I visited my grandparents two weeks ago and had lunch with them. They haven't had a chance to see our wedding pictures yet, so we thought it would be nice show them the pictures and give them some pictures too. I still get a kick every time just looking at their living room. They still have their yellow couch, made with a foam cushion, sea foam green walls, and pink curtains. At least they don't still have the green shag carpet.
I started helping my grandmother get lunch ready and she was showing me some sort of chicken dish she made. I mentioned in my first blog how she liked to creative sometimes when cooking. Well, this was one of those moments. Apparently one of neighbors gave her this recipe. She took chicken breasts and pounded them until they were super thin and it looked liked she covered them with some sort of breading and them sprinkled corn flakes on top. Now, I have had dishes with corn flakes sprinkled on top, just to add a little crunch to the dish, but I wasn't ever able to tell that they were actual corn flakes on top. On my grandmother's dish, you could actually tell there were corn flakes sprinkled on top. She made macaroni and cheese as well and I guess she had some extra corn flakes and sprinkled that on top too. Everyone in my family loves my grandmother's macaroni and cheese, as it is. Just wait until my cousins read this about what she did to the mac and cheese.
So anyways, I thought I would give her new chicken recipe a try, since grandpa wouldn't even touch it. I hate to say this about something my grandmother made, but it tasted about how it looked. Not very good. I guess, I should follow my grandpa's lead, he usually won't eat any new dish my grandmother comes up with. He likes to stick with the basics. Luckily my grandma made him some fried chicken as a substitute for her mystery chicken dish.
