Can you feel a little love, dream on, dream on

At night when I go to sleep, I think about the meals I'm going to make for the week. Hey - I have insomnia usually, so give me a break. I think about what's in my pantry, what I'll need to buy from the market, and sometimes I even get up in the middle of the night and sketch.

Right now I can't afford to go to the market as often anymore, so I went to sleep thinking: I have an orange. I have a lemon. I have a shallot. What can I come up....zzz....

I don't count sheep. I count fruit.

I didn't use the juice of the orange (or the lemon) because I always try to give the kids one veggie and one fruit with dinner, no matter what. So I was selfishly being frugal and saving that orange to cut up for later. This is how the best recipes come about, being a cheap ass.

The chicken turned out fantastic and is definitely a new favorite around here. I served it up with some crispy pan fried potatoes which made it even better. Thank goodness for insomnia.
