Whats cooking good lookin?

Since being married and being a woman and all I do feel like it is my role to cook and clean etc. and I am totally okay with that! Thank heavens for pinterest or I dont think I could cook a thing! I have had my fair share of success dinners and absolute fail dinners. Quick story time, a few weeks ago my mom was telling me how she was going to make homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles and everything so I told her I wanted to help her make some too because me and Zac would love it. So we made the noodles and I took all the ingredients over to my apartment to make and Zac comes home while it is still cooking so we are just sitting at the bar playing cards and then a maintenance guy came over to fix our sink because it was leaking. So we are talking to him but he was kind of RIGHT in the way of our stove so I didn't really want to touch the soup too much cause I didn't want to stand over him, PLUS the noodles were taking forever to cook so I didn't worry about it. Then something starts to smell burnt....Zac goes over to check the soup and it is SCALDED to the pot! I was mortified! Zac and the maintenance guy thought it was HILARIOUS. I burnt soup....honestly? who does that! after the guy left I broke down in tears, I was so excited for this soup I had worked on and embarrassed that I had burnt it and pregnancy hormones were flying all over the place. I swore I would never cook again! But of course I did. Anyway I feel as though I have redeemed myself after sunday when I made not one, but TWO good meals. For breakfast I made french toast muffins with a cinnamon streusel topping. And they were AMAZING! I got 12 muffins but me and Zac only ate 4 so if you aren't making them for a lot of people I would suggest cutting the recipe in half.


Ingredients:
1 loaf french bread
2 1/2 cups milk
6 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 TB vanilla extract
1 ts ground cinnamon

Grease a 12 cup muffin tin. Add 1/2 cup bread cubes to each muffin cup. Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture over each muffin. You might want to go back and press the bread down a little bit so that you can add a little more mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or up to overnight. {I refrigerated mine overnight} 

When ready to bake, preheat over to 350 degrees.

To make the streusel topping:
1/4 cup cold butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/8 ts ground cinnamon
pinch of salt 

Combine the ingredients by hand and sprinkle over each muffin. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Enjoy with maple syrup, powdered sugar or whatever else you would like. I just ate mine plain they were that good!

Then for dinner I made crispy cheddar chicken. I wish I had made more because Zac and I both wanted seconds!

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
2 sleeves Ritz crackers
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1/2 cup milk
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 t dried paisley

Crush up the crackers and put in a bowl along with the salt and pepper, whisk together. In seperate bowls put the milk and cheese. Dunk each piece of chicken into the milk, then the cheese, then the crackers. Grease a 9x13 pan and place the chicken in it. Cover with tin foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes, then remove the tin foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.

For the sauce:
1 10oz. can cream of chicken soup
2 T sour cream
2 T butter

Combine in a small sauce pan and stir constantly until heated up. Serve over chicken.

So yummy you guys! I have been thinking about this chicken ever since we had it! I can't wait to make it again! These are NOT my recipes, they are from pinterest so go follow my board "delicious" to see what it is I am cooking over at the Morck house.
