Friday morning I was getting the boys lunches out for school and I noticed a bag of carrots and celery I had bought earlier in the week. I always forget about the things in the crisper and usually I cannot recognize them by the time I pull them out.
The carrots and celery reminded me of a recipe I used to make all the time when Stephen was little before Josh and I got married. It's chicken with carrots & celery over white rice with a sour cream gravy. Sounds like a good fattening, comfort food kind of meal right? It is perfect for a chilly fall dinner and not too hard to make.
As I begin cooking, all the boys start asking what I'm making. I've been in a cooking rut lately so they were cautiously optimistic about this new and exciting dinner.
Dinner was finally served and it was gone in 60 seconds! The crowds roared! They were begging for more (ok...slight exaggeration). I had a June Cleaver moment minus the pearls and heals.
This left Josh asking if there are any other dinners I have been keeping from him. I replied with a wink "never ask a lady to reveal her secrets"
