As I gear up to make my May meals in a week or so, I should probably start blogging about the April meals. I have been so busy in March, April and now in May. I am really excited to have a little bit of down time booked in June! I have also gotten to the point with Dream Dinners, where at least a portion of meal meals are repeats that I’ve tried and loved before. Last Tuesday, I had my monthly staff meeting and Mike was in charge of dinner. I left him Monte Christo Chicken, which went straight from the fridge to the oven. Mike baked the covered pan for 35-40 minutes to start. Then, he uncovered it and baked it an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. When I got home, I made a quick salad and a delicious meal was ready for me. I loved the tangy mustard flavor, the creamy sauce, and the fact that it was all served over a bed of rice. This meal screamed comfort food and in hindsight, I wish I had made more of them! Once again, a Dream Dinners pan meal saved the day for my family and I know it saves the day for many of my customers, too!
