Chicken and Toffee

Summer time!! Today was my first day on summer vacation! I am determined to be a productive wife, housekeeper, cook, and crafter while I'm off of school, so I am going to TRY something. I want to try and  make at least 2 things from Pinterest every week. I have been "pinning" all sorts of things, but have not actually done any of these! I'm a pinterest fraud, I guess. But not for long! :) Hope you join me on my journey! 


Tonight I made "Man pleasing chicken" from my recipe folder.

 It sounded super easy and different from the normal sauces I usually make, so I thought I'd give it a shot.  And the name suggested my sweet JB might like it too :). All in all, I'd give it 8 out of 10. Next time, I would do 1/4 cup syrup and 1/4 dijon, instead of the measurements the recipe suggested. 





I also made "Saltine Cracker Toffee" from my recipe folder.. but it did NOT turn out the way I wanted.. Here is a picture of what it was supposed to look like..

I never made it past the cracker step though. You are supposed to melt the butter and brown sugar, then pour it over your crackers, but when I did that, I failed to remember that my cookie sheet full of crackers did not have an edge to catch the excess syrup-y mixture... So it dripped to the bottom of my oven and burned/stuck :(. Thus stinking up the entire house and making a humongous mess. I'll reattempt this recipe again later. For now, I have an oven to clean.
