While watching Julie & Julia... I decided that I wanted to cook my way through a cook book and for Christmas my Dads girlfriend Susan, got me a Betty Crocker Cookbook, the way it is set up makes it hard to really cook through, but I will manage. Given I have limited funds at the moment I have limited this cooking experiment to Monday nights as of now. This being that Monday nights are the only night that My fiance and I are really both free. So last night I begun looking through the cook book and decided I would start in the very back at 20 minute or Less Meals. I opened the section and started with the first meal. The first meal being Maple and Pecan Chicken. I was hesitant at first given that I am extremely picky, however the goal of this whole thing was to get my fiance and I to try new foods. Then reading the whole recipe I realized that the pecans where used more for flavoring and that i didn't have to eat them along with the food and I was happy to try this meal haha. So, I went shopping got what I needed, put on my cool apron that my Cousin Selina got me for Christmas and began cooking.

When Brandon heard what the meal was.. he was hesitant to eat the chicken, but once we both ate the chicken, we were happy campers and enjoyed the whole meal. We would most definitely eat it again
