I just buy the turkey breast when it goes on sale for us. If the kids want me to get a turkey for a holiday meal and cook it, then I will buy the whole thing. But I do not like the dark meat of turkey or chicken except when my Honey grills the legs in his special way for me. All other dark meat I let others have.
I will prepare some ham, some homemade augratin potatoes, some steamed broccoli, and for dessert: Strawberry Lemon Pie. I do most of the cooking.
I prefer the dark meat on a chicken...I too find that the breast meat is way too dry...but interesting to read how you do it with the mix @Yvonne Smith ..however I only ever buy chicken thighs..I never buy breast or for that matter a whole chicken because I'm the only one in this house who eats meat...
My husband has never made a meal for me in 17 years... he simply wouldn't know where to start with cooking...and he's not interested in learning..
The first time my Honey cooked inside for me....was the last time! He put dill weed in the green beans...yuck...you just can't do that to a cajun lady! But he can grill outside for me anytime he wants.
To be fair, my wife does assist me on some of the more labor intensive menu items. I plan the meal most of the time, but she will go get fast food in a heartbeat, usually wanting more. Sometimes, so do I.
Thanks...it really is good and is made without tomato sauce or paste (which I can't eat) but tastes just like a yummy spaghetti.
My hubby use to cook all the time...on the grill...at our apt complex he was calked The Grill Master...but things and times have changed all that. So we eat whatever I prepare. Tonight some chicken , yellow squash and onions, potatoes. Doesn't even sound good to me.
