They say you should learn something every single day. For the most part I do. Today’s lesson was, just because it looks like Pyrex, does not mean that it necessarily IS Pyrex.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, I had a few minutes to kill and cruised Tastespotting<\/a> looking for a little inspiration. I haven’t cooked anything beyond a fried egg since I moved and I am sick of fast food. I was craving something home cooked and yummy. I saw this<\/a> recipe and could not stop staring at those beautiful chicken drummies. Plus, it sounded super easy, that’s definitely what I’m after on a work night.<\/p>\n

I work until 8 pm, so if I want to get home, cook AND eat before 10, it has to be pretty simple.<\/p>\n

I prefer white meat over drumsticks, so I picked up a package of breast strips and the makings of a salad. While the chicken was in the oven, I sliced some strawberries for my salad and made a quick strawberry balsamic dressing. When the chicken came out of the oven, I removed them from the baking dish and put it on a burner for the sauce to thicken. The sauce thickened and I poured it over the strips, no problem.<\/p>\n

I sat the now empty vessel to the side to cool and turned around to fluff my couscous. And…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

BOOM! Glass everywhere! <\/p>\n

All of the glass seemed to stay in the area of the stove\/floor, so we swept it up and went ahead with dinner. Fairly tasty, but I think next time I should let the chicken marinate in the sauce for a while so it’ll soak up some of the flavors.<\/p>\n

On a positive note, at least I didn’t have to wash that pan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
