So just over a week ago I had a hell of a productive Sunday: that is if you judge productivity through culinary masterpieces, which I obviously do.
It was a nonstop, kind of day. I managed to make it to shop, clean, visit with family, and wrap gifts all before I hit the kitchen for my marathon afternoon/evening. For the first year ever, I made cut-out cookies. True, not a huge accomplishment....I get it, but I had never done it before. The most exciting part was of course using my standing Kitchen Aid mixer!!!! It only took 2 years, but yes, I loved it!
So I set out baking and decorating, baking, decorating....blah blah blah blah blah. Gosh, baking cookies sure does get exhausting. I tried really hard to make them pretty, but can't say I was too successful. All I do know, is a lot of love went into all of them (well maybe not the last 15 or so).
As soon as I finished baking the cookies (meaning I finished decorating about 50% of them), I had to get started on dinner.....Roasted Chicken, dun, dun dun. This would be my 4th or 5th attempt at Roasted Chicken. There is just something about chicken, I never time it right. Every attempt has pretty much ended up with Jon and I eating all the sides first as I had to put my raw chicken back in the oven. But as today I was a culinary genius, not only did I make the perfect roast chicken, I made amazing sides (specifically my garlic mashed potatoes), all while I continued to frost my not so gorgeous but tasty cookies, and my chicken and sides were all ready at the same time!!!! That's right, Martha Stewart ain't got sh#t on me!
