Honey Garlic Chicken

I made this for dinner. At first I wasn't impressed, but then after a few bites I was like, um, okay...this is pretty good.

I didn't have any basil, so I omitted it from the recipe and added cayenne pepper. My version did not turn out resembling the photo on the blog and it was quite soupy. I took some of the extra juice and used it to make minute rice. Next, I paired the chicken and rice with these green beans. Once the green beans were done I added a teaspoon of garlic butter.

All in all, I would give the 3.5 (out of 5 stars.

Easy Sweet Carmel Pecan Pie

1 baked pie shell – you can use the premade kind
1 can eagle brand sweetened condensed milk (I also tried it with different brands and it worked the same)
½ cup pecans
1 container Cool Whip (light is fine)

Remove wrapper from the condensed milk, put whole can in pot of water and boil for 2 hours.
Remember to check often and make sure the can is completely submerged in water, if not, the can will explode and you will have a mess on your hands.
After the two hours, remove can and let cool (it will be hot, duh)
Once cooled, pour the milk (now caramel) over pecans in baked pie shell.
Refrigerate for awhile and then top with Cool Whip.

Viola…you’re done! I’ve also used the caramel as a cake topping for a devils food cake and it was way yum!
