a dinner

Last night, my dining room table finally got broken in.  I think I'm going to toot my own horn here because I was SO pleased with how dinner turned out - and even though I felt like I was so busy my head would explode, it wasn't that hard to make a lot of it from scratch.  Most of these sites have pictures (and I admit, there were some high-priority guests that I didn't want to flutter around taking picutres in front of), so I'm just including the links.  

Well... be well and eat well!  It's Friday!!

Oil and herb marinade

Maple syrup teriyaki marinade

Crash Hot Potatoes - I think that the Pioneer Woman deserves an award for propagating these potatoes.  These were my favorite part of dinner.

Dinner Rolls - it's a recipe that came in the book with the bread machine.  Might have been the biggest hit of the night (though the marinades come close).  It's got a cup of water, 3 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of butter, an egg, 3 tbsp of dry milk, salt, and one and a half teaspoons of yeast.  You take it out of the basic dough cycle, separate, allow to rise, and bake till golden.  So many. So delicious.  So much for watching what I eat.
