Tastes Like Honey Baked Chicken

EC the cat has spent 50% of today meowing her head off because she is a very spoiled pussy cat who doesn't like being locked out of rooms she believes to be her own. These "rooms" include the front porch and back patio; she seems to easily forget that she is an indoors only feline. I finally had enough and decided to make Honey Baked Kitty for dinner.

In all seriousness I picked a recipe off of one of my favorite recipe sites Allrecipes.com based on the ingredients I have in the house and honestly didn't think it was going to be all that great. Much to my surprise not only did I love the finished product but MIKEY LIKES IT too! Finding a new delicious recipe to add to my collection of things to make for dinner that both Mike and I like is always a reason for celebration. Excellent excuse to pour myself a glass of wine... like I ever need an excuse.

The food shot is certainly not award winning but you get the picture (no pun intended).
