“Fried Chicken just tend to make you feel better about life”

True words spoken from one of my new favorite movies, The Help.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted.

I moved this summer, and live in a full house with another IV Staff and 4 IV interns! Each day is an adventure in our house, but for the most part I am loving it!

Wednesdays are my night to cook, and since I only really have to cook one meal a week, I end up being pretty creative.

This week I made FRIED CHICKEN, and now I have a recipe I really enjoy and can refer to rather than spending so much money at Popeyes!

I also host a small group at my house every other Thursday, and we spend 2 hours making meals from the website, “Cooking with the Bible”. This Wednesday, I tested out the recipe for Russet Mashed Potato Casserole, made with yellow fleshed potatoes, as I couldn’t find Russet Potatoes. I also don’t know what Sumac is, so I used a substitute of lemon zest and salt. I also tried to vegan-ize this meal, and made Nayonnaise. Though I didn’t use silken tofu, and my blender is broken, but it turned out ok for the most part.

But the best part was making CAKE POPS! I modified a recipe from the Happy Baker for Pumpkin Spice Cake Pops. Which turned out AMAZING! I love Cake Pops.
