Valentine's Day - Pub Style Chicken
Day 44
This is mine and Brandon's first Valentine's celebration. He surprised me at work with a beautiful bouquet of flowers that consisted of tulips and lilies. Oh, this boy knows me too well....
He knows I don't like roses. It's not that they're ugly. They're just tooo cliche. Of course...almost every female in my company who received flowers, received roses. But not me. My boyfriend was smart!
Anyways, as a gift to my love...I cooked him a recipe given to me from a co-worker. It's a Publix recipe: Pub Style Chicken. Brandon LOVED it. I wasn't too crazy about it. It was just okay for me. It tasted too "Teriyaki" for my liking. And if you know me...I'm not a fan of Teriyaki sauce. Blech. I plan to perfect it the next time we have our family dinner. Here's the recipe if you would like to try it:
Ok...although the last part sounds nasty, my co-workers said that the dressing is the key ingredient to the recipe not tasting too salty or Teriyaki flavored. I left that part out...and that is probably why I didn't like it as much. I shall try this again....

| Ok...I know it looks tacky. But my boyfriend requested Tater tots and Mac-n-cheese. See kids, this why you learn to eat your vegetables at a young age. |
