Just made these again tonight with some minor alterations from last time.

I followed the recipe more by doing the marinade, but only for about 3.5 hours.

I also used almond milk since that's what I had

You can make a quick buttermilk by adding 1tbs of distilled white vinegar or lemon juice to every 1cup of milk fyi

Last time I only halved the chicken breasts to get double the amount, but went further this time...

I started out with two large chicken breast and sliced them in half. The more triangular pieces I did shallow sliced on to open them up and flatten them more (I do not have a mallet). The thicker pieces I sliced through horizontally to get two thinner pieces.

Basically I turned two chicken breasts into six pieces

And once these bad boys baked they got slapped into a bun with dill pickles and a copycat chik-fil-a sauce (never had the actual sauce, but this is pretty damn good) and it was soooooo delicious 😍

These are really freaking good and an excellent option if you don't want to deal with hot oil and/or want a healthier option.

More information/Tips

I did not do the marinade. Next time I make these I plan to do that.

Otherwise I did follow the recipe

I had five large chicken breasts to use and only sliced them in half so they were little squat, squarish pieces. I did not flatten any of them (but I should have).

I lacked a proper wire rack and used the rack that came with the roasting pan I used. The wires were set a little too far apart for the size of my chickens and I had to drape them over the wires lol

I want to experiment with different ways of marinading and seasoning these in the future.

They go extremely well with a copy cat Chick-fil-A sauce (why give them money when you can make your own??) 😋

Enjoy!!!

Chocolate Chip (& M&M) Cookie Recipe

Chocolate Chip Cookies from Joy Food Sunshine

This is currently my all time favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe! The photo I included here is literally fresh out of the oven 😍

Tips/Bonus Information

If you like gooey cookies then these are for you!

I've made them with just chocolate chips and just tried adding in mini M&M's

I substituted 1/2 a cup of chocolate chips for 1/2 a cup of mini M&M's

I just used two spoons to scoop out and drop the dough onto the trays so mine might be a little bigger than what they should be

They spread out so keep that in mind when placing the dollops

They puff up when baking but will flatten out when cooling

These are just really delicious and 15/10 would recommend this recipe 😋

Why are Restaurant Burritos Better than Homemade?

[chocolateandgarlic]

Last night for dinner we made double bacon cheeseburgers on sesame seed brioche buns and a side of steak fries (sprinkled with cajun seasoning) and a copycat Red Robin's campfire dipping sauce 😍 😋

ok so

everyone knows about this meme, right?

but does anyone else know the woman who made the food? no? time to educate!

This is “Mother Mary”, the owner of Blackberry’s mother.

She made all the cakes for the restaurant while it was open. Chef Gordon Ramsay tried her red velvet cake, and spoke this meme-able line:

He then called Mary over, complimented her food, and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Look how happy she was to hear that!!!

anyways, I hope she has been able to continue her love for baking since the restaurant closed down.

Cooking Personality Test - the recipe you’re making calls for six ounces of tomato paste, but you can only get tomato paste in 5.5oz cans. You:

Crack open a second can and skim 10% off the top

Use one can and adjust the proportions of everything else accordingly

Use one can and don’t adjust the rest because it’s really not that critical

Find the least common multiple between 5.5 and 6 and make eleven batches at once

Give up and order pizza

My friend asked how I learned to cook and the answer is I didn't. I know like 5 things about cooking and they are:

Always use more garlic than the recipe calls for

"Ehhh fuck it close enough" is a great measurement tool

Find like 5 recipes that you like, adjust them how you like them, make them until you hate them

Clean as you go

If a recipe is from a mommy blog, you will need more spices

Since this made so much, we had leftovers today

Lunch was chicken (sliced), dill pickles, lettuce, bacon, cheese, and mayo all wrapped up in a tortilla for a yummy chicken wrap

Dinner was chicken sandwiches

Mine wad made up of a brioche bun, dill pickles, bacon, and the copycat Chick-fil-A sauce and it was sooooo good 😋

My boyfriend decided with the same toppings, but added cheese, more sauce, and used an everything bagel lol

It's a lot like Chick-fil-A, but without the homophobia
