September 12 Sibling Dinner

Sibling dinner tonight was fun. Danny, me, Sarah, and Joe (and of course, Jane) were all there. Afterward we played catchphrase.

This is the chicken I made tonight. For how yummy it was, this was definitely the easiest thing I've cooked in a long time. I got the recipe from Ruth Ann! Thank you!!!

There was extra so I took a plate over to my visiting teachee.

Cranberry Chicken:
350 degrees

Chicken tenderloins
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 bottle French dressing

Mix the sauce and 1/2 the bottle of dressing together. Pour over the chicken. Cook for 30 minutes. Serve over rice.




...and we made Grandpa's potatoes.




and while we were at it, Sarah wanted us to photograph the rolls she brought. When she said the prayer, she asked to bless the rolls that she had made from scratch. Haha!




And this was actually not from sibling dinner, but it was funny. I hope that CPS doesn't come after us!!!

Interim

So...the only ones of us in Provo are Sarah and Mykle. It's sad that we're so far away, but we will soon be close by.

For those of you who have no idea what the heck this is, it's the blog that we use for our Saturday Sibling Dinners. We like to post pictures, recipes, vids, anything really. I really want this blog to be more active than it has been in the past, so I'm inviting everybody early, and granting everyone admin privileges. I want everyone to be able to do stuff like change the template (do I smell a template war???), invite more people...I don't think we have to limit this to just our family members, either. Like, for example, it would be really cool if Joe W.'s sister came to our sibling dinners and contributed to this blog, or Danny's siblings, or Mykle's siblings, or Joe's future girlfriend...

So there it is. I'm really happy because Danny and I will have a great house for these saturday sibling dinners. It's big enough, and IT HAS A DISHWASHER! Hooray!

First Saturday Sibling Dinner

Tonight we had dinner together and it was fun! Here's what happened:

Danny and I cooked Piatza Chicken, real mashed potatoes (from a package), green beans, and Danny's Mom's delicious Caramel Brownies.

Here's how:

Step 1: Call mom and find out the recipe for Caramel Brownies

Brownies
preheat oven to 350 degrees
3/4 cup cocoa
2/3 cup veg. oil
2 cups sugar
4 beaten eggs
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup nuts

Combine dry ingredients, add wet ingredients. Mix well.

Bake 25-35 minutes
(better undercooked)


Caramel Frosting
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar

Melt butter and brown sugar
Boil 2 minutes
Stir in milk
Bring to boil
Remove from heat
Cool
Beat in powdered sugar (in ice [optional])

Meanwhile...

Step 2: Piatza Chicken

boneless chicken breasts
olive oil
breadcrumbs
Either lemon pepper or garlic salt

Defrost the chicken breasts.
Cut diagonal slits in the chicken to desired thinness. (Use a meat tenderizer if you want extra thin slices).










Put chicken in plastic bag. Add 1/2 cup olive oil. Close the bag, and shake until chicken is coated in the oil.










On a plate, mix 1/2 cup breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon of either garlic salt or lemon pepper. Coat chicken in breadcrumb mixture. Place on non-greased foil-covered baking sheet. Add more breadcrumb mixture as needed.










Broil for 3-5 minutes on each side. Serve hot.

Step 3: Side Dishes

Steam cook green beans. Follow directions for the real potatoes.










Step 4: Eat and talk!




Tonight we discussed how the apple pies at McDonald's are rumored to be potatoes, how people who watch Jerry McGuire are sinners (especially Liel!), Mormon Art Philosophy, and how this photo could be an advertisement for the pitcher.








Step 5: Watch Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service (I rate this movie five ***** stars.)

Step 6: Eat Caramel Brownies!



















That's all, until next week!!!!
