Did you make this recipe?
Thank you for making my recipe! You took pictures, right? Well go ahead and post them on Instagram! Be sure to mention me @iambaker and use the hashtag #YouAreBaker.
The other night my kids were I were playing Word World on the computer and I heard a loud boom. I looked out the window and saw a huge fire coming from the old school house across the field from us.
So, being the totally normal and sane mom that I am, I quick got the kids all bundled up in coats and shoes and grabbed my camera and rushed right to the fire.
After our 5 minute walk over there (by way of a field, over a barbed wire fence, through thick trees and brush) we came upon this.
A van had exploded in the middle of an apartment building parking lot!
*Please forgive my horribly blurry and out of focus and poorly lit pictures. I was holding a baby (and sometimes a three year old) and trying to stay out of the way all while still being a nosy lady with a camera.
This was when they aimed the hose right at the engine of the van.
(I seriously did not get one single picture that wasn’t blurry)
We left after about 20 minutes… they had still not gotten the fire out. But I had left dinner in the oven… so I figured it would be best to not have two fires in our neighborhood in one night!
*****************************************************************************************************************
Speaking of dinner… I tried a new recipe and just had to share it with you.
Glorious Chicken Parmesan.
It was soooo good! I used this recipe as a base.
For the oil I used sun dried tomato infused extra virgin olive oil (with organic tomatoes from our garden), Italian seasoned bread crumbs, and 1 tbsp. ground red pepper. (that’s a lot I know)
For the tomato sauce I used some of our organic canned whole tomatoes and just added a can of organic tomato paste to thicken it up.
The breading was crispy and flavorful, the sauce tasted fresh and savory, and the chicken was moist and distinctively delectable.
Plus… it was FAST and easy!!
Okay, I’m still freaking out about the van a little bit, eek! What the craziness!! And Chicken parm is one of my FAVS of all time, yummmmmmy! Also of course I want to be part of Stellan’s Bible, do I need to email you or will I have a chance to grab it quick before you send it off?
what model van was it so I don’t buy one in the future! I wonder if there was something nefarious going on with it – maybe a mobile meth lab or something…hmmm
lol I have no idea the model… bugt I am lol about the nefarious comment. Mostly cause I have to look up nefarious. 😉
I think it was a carpet cleaning van…there was a long hose going from the can into the building, so I think it was running when it exploded. No one was hurt! Except the guy making payments on the van. 😉
You are added to the list! 🙂
Wow – what drama! That would be pretty scary!
The chicken parm looks amazing…I am hungry and wishing I had that in front of me right now!!
Ok question though…do you eat off of those pretty white plates all the time or do you just have some for “photographic” shots like that one?
May seem like a silly question but in all honesty I was considering doing just that so I had a blank canvas to use for pictures! 🙂
Blessings, Kristin
That supper looks so yummy!
Those are my everyday white plates… I use them for every single meal… every holiday… everything! We got them at Target! 🙂
You are such a cool mom. *grin* How many boys can say their mom climbs over fences so they can get a close look at a burning van???
I am in agreement. The chicken looks great!
that chicken looks wonderful…thanks for the pics and receipe. I love to see the food before I make it. I don’t do well with receipes that don’t have pics, silly I know. But this looks great, will be trying this.
If I’d seen a fire from my house, I would have grabbed my camera and done the same thing you did!
I’m a little jealous with your cooking abilities! However…since I haven’t had an oven since I’ve been married (over 13 years) I don’t see my abilities improving any. lol
