Eating in stages

At my meeting, we made Pampered Chef recipes for Smashed Brussels Sprouts and Green Monster Muffins. With my Cheeseburger, it was just enough to top me off for the night.

Bacon Two Ways

For dinner, I made Bacon two ways. First, I wrapped it around Boneless Skinless Thighs. Then, I chopped some up to mix in with our Roasted Brussels Sprouts.

Honey Garlic Chicken

I tried another new recipe tonight. This one, I found somewhere on Facebook. Honey Garlic Chicken in the slow cooker and finished up on a Rockcrok under the broiler. I also cooked Rice in the Quick Cooker and Brussels Sprouts in the Ceramic Pot. Not too bad!

Second Thanksgiving Plate

I fixed myself a plate of all the Thanksgiving fixins. I think it was even tastier than I wanted it to be. Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potato, Green Bean Casserole and Brussels Sprouts. And, I followed it up with a slice of Apple Pie.

Thanksgiving Feast

For Thanksgiving dinner, I roasted the Turkey on my Half Sheet Pan and Baking Rack instead of a roaster pan. It seemed like it worked well because I could have the Sweet Potatoes roasting on the pan at the same time. We made a TRIPLE batch of Quick Cooker Mashed Potatoes, and they were just as good as a single batch! Gram made her Famous Pie Crust, and Mom tested out our Apple Slicer/Peeler to make the filling. She said she might even be brave enough to make it in her own with how easy it was. Sophie joined her to make the Green Bean Casserole, and Morgan made the Dressing. I made some Quick Cooker Smashed Brussels Sprouts and had a failed attempt at making gravy. Oh well, we can get everything perfect.

Corn dogs and Brussels Sprouts

Sophie was the solo chef for the night, and she made us Mini Corn Dogs and Buttery Brussels Sprouts. Not a bad little meal, and I was thankful she made it.

Roasted Chicken and Brussels Sprouts

For dinner tonight, I broke out my Half-Sheet Pan & Baking Rack Set again because the crispy chicken skin last time was so amazing, and it didn’t disappoint. I made Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs with Cherry Balsamic Brussels Sprouts and bacon. It was another success!

Roasted Chicken & Veggies

We tested out our new Half Sheet Pan & Baking Rack Set on our dinner tonight to see if it helped make it taste better. We roasted Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs over Maple Balsamic Brussels Sprouts, Carrots and Onions. The ruling was that it indeed helped make the bacon crispy on all sides.

Quick Chicken & Brussels Sprouts

We had planned on having our Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Thighs until we realized we forgot to thaw the chicken. Thankfully, our Quick Cooker was there to jump into action. It went from a solid block of ice to ready to eat in 15 minutes. We paired it with Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts for a great meal made at home.

Amazing Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Thighs

We can’t help it. We *love* Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Thighs! And, with our new Instant-Read Food Thermometer, they were perfectly done and juicy. We paired them with Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts for a great meal after a busy day.
