Not so chefy today!!!

OK so I tried to make two recipes today - Red Cabbage and Apples and chicken loaf. OK I can understand why the chicken loaf sucked, it is because I did not put enough seasonings in that joint. But I thought the Red Cabbage tasted good but I just did not want to eat it for some reason. I think I got all heath conscious (it had half a stick of butter in it) and what not (dang who say what not anymore LOL).

I was on a roll last week. Man you win some you lose some but I am not going to stop trying. No this is not the black version of Julie and Julia, which btw was a good movie. I am trying to a mass some recipes that I can use so I don't eat the same thing over and over. OK I don't see the problem eating spaghetti all the time. I LOVE spaghetti! Shanita I think I am going to cook your recipe on Monday.

I am in the process of getting an island and a pot rack put into my kitchen. It is going to be quite nice. It will be of dual function - a work area and a table. I found the idea online. My girl, Kenya, is going to help me pick out tile for the top of the island and for my backsplash. Yeah, I am making some home improvements over here this year. TBH I waited so long to put it in because I did not think I would be here that long....ahhh look at me it's going on three years now....I still cannot believe it!!! But I absolutely love it down here. I don't regret leaving. Tip: Don't stay where God has told you to leave, you become out of the will of God and dissatisfied!!!

I think I need to buy a few new pots and pans and some small kitchen appliances. I have my eye on this kitchen aid mixer but I don't think I want to pay $400+ for an electric mixer. Especially since I am a fake me out chef. I am already upset that I have burned 2 of my All clad pans.

So if you have some recipes point me to them. Chef BoyRNikki is signing off! Night night and good eating!!!
