Oprah's Unfried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Campfire Applesauce

"Holy Starch!"

 Recipes from: Food.com (chicken), Stephen Bump (mashed potatoes), Caitie Bump (Campfire Applesauce).
Chicken: http://www.food.com/recipe/oprahs-unfried-chicken-27516

Mashed potatoes: Lot's of butter, milk, and garlic salt....Stephen just adds things until it tastes good! It was actually about 8 potatoes (with skin still on), 1/2 stick butter, ~1 C milk, and garlic salt and salt to taste.

Campfire Applesauce: Put cinnamon applesauce in a dish, top with lots of marshmallows, and cook at 350 for 10 min (if oven is still hot), 20 if not. Should look like campfire marshmallows on top!
Total time: 1 hour

Leftovers (based on how many extra meals)-3

Changes I made while cooking: I used chicken tenders instead of drumsticks and breasts. I did not use Old Bay seasoning because we didn't have any. I cooked chicken for 24 min instead of 1 hour (probably b/c I used tenders instead...24 min was perfect!).

Thoughts while cooking: this is messy, but it smells good!

Impressions while eating: "Holy Starch! This dish needs color!" "This chicken needs more seasoning" (maybe Old Bay is in this recipe for a reason? haha).

Changes I would make: Add a veggie for color (and to make it a bit healthier), use Old Bay or add garlic salt to chicken, make gravy on the side, could also coat fish or pork in the future, would like to try drumsticks next time.

Extra ingredients to use later in week: potatoes, applesauce, marshmallows, yogurt, and breadcrumbs
