Simple Fare - Grilled Chicken, Drick's Green Bean and Artichoke Casserole and Garlic Rolls

Sometimes plain food is the best. And sometimes short posts without so much verbiage are good too. Busy times are snapping at the door for American Thanksgiving celebrations so……enjoy the following if you please (smile)

Grilled chicken…no marinade…just plain grilled chicken cooked over a charcoal grill (Thank you Doug)


Green Bean and Artichoke Casserole, the recipe courtesy of Drick’s Rambling CafĂ©. His recipe is HERE



His photos look great – and mine....well, I had a departure of plans with some ingredients and had to run an unexpected errand in the middle of cooking!


Garlic and Cheese rolls (they look like muffins). Forgot to grease the muffin pan and they stuck a bit. And fell apart, a bit.


Culinary Disasters…I swear the name of this blog ought to changed to that sometimes.

Plain and simple.

  10. Disasters in the kitchen are great - they're how we learn :-)

    Gotta say that sometimes plain grilled chicken just can't be improved on, especially if you have a volunteer to stand over the coals.

    As for the green bean and artichoke dish, I think you definitely improved on that - I think your pictures look much better, and I love the addition of the bacon - but then you knew I would, didn't you?!
