Recipe Review Rotisserie Chicken Bonus dessert and Tommorows Dinner recipe 5 Thin Cut Steak..Yummm!!

Today's dinner was rotisserie chicken and cucumber salad. It was the free rotisserie chicken from Sam's club. It was tender and juicy. To me it could use a bit more flavor. My daughter agreed. She brought up the fact that Kroger's taste better. So she gave it a 6. I think I will give it a 7. We both love my cucumber recipe. I eat cucumber salad on a regular basis but this was new for my daughter. She gave the salad a 10. She wanted more but I only had 2 cucumbers. I cant lie I wanted more too. So next time I will use maybe 4 cucumbers. she likes drum sticks. I do not..So u can see which one is her plate.


 I decided to make dessert today too. Just a scoop of vanilla ice cream and homemade apple compote.
My daughter snacks on these apples already sliced in a package I get from walmart. So I grabbed a handful and pealed them. Cut them up and cooked them in 1c water 1tsp cinnamon, 1T sugar and 1tsp cornstarch. My daughter was loving it. I do wish my scoops were more uniformed. And the bowls are the same size so it's weird how one bowl looks bigger than the other. I guess it was where I was standing when I took the shot. So when we were done eating I was headed to the kitchen to clean up and I caught my daughter eating the apples right out of the pot. Caught red handed. Her eyes popped. She said mom I cant help it. I just laughed. The look on her face was too funny but it didn't stop her from eating it..I hid the rest in the back of the fridge.


Tomorrow's Dinner:
So my daughter has been a good sport so far about the no to low carb meals. but she asked if she could please have potatoes tomorrow and I'm giving in. She doesn't like sweet potatoes at all but in order for her to get white potato she has to taste my sweet potatoes. She reluctantly agreed. So yes I am cooking to kinds of potatoes tomorrow. Included is thin cut slow baked onion smothered steak and chicken spinach. This is also my recipe.

2 thin cut steak    liquid smoke
garlic powder      1/2 onion
onion powder       seasoning salt

2 pk frozen spinach
1 can chicken broth

1 potato                            1 sweet potato (cut in wedges)
dash salt                           1/2 butter
dash pepper                      1T maple syrup
3T milk

Cut white potato for boiling. Cook until for tender. Drain.
Add rest of ingredients and mix well until light and fluffy.

Cut sweet potato into wedges. Line baking sheet with foil. brush melted butter and maple syrup over both sides of the wedges. Bake until fork tender.

Boil spinach in chicken broth until not frozen. Approx. 5 min and drain to stop the cooking process. You want the spinach to be bright green and still full of its nutrients.

WW points 7 for meal w/ white potato
WW points 8 for meal w/ sweet potato
