Ok, so I watched Rachel Ray the other day while making our supper. She made her chicken tenders with sesame seeds and spices. They looked really good and "health-ful" as she likes to say. Let me just say that I don't like Rachel Ray at all...I'm a Paula sort of girl...and Rachel's voice and hand movements really grates on my nerves. Now Paula on the other hand I can totally relate too! I mean hello, she uses butter! Well back to Rachel's tenders. I followed the recipe exactly...sesame seeds, salt, pepper, minced onion, and baking them. They were really easy and smelled good. I fixed acorn squash, green beans, and muffins to go along with this gourmet meal...yeah right!
We sit down to eat and I let Luke try out the new recipe first. "Do you like it?" I ask patiently to see if my hard work has paid off....he responds, "They are Ok, do you like them?" They were so stinkin' salty I couldn't eat them....and for ME to say they are salty is something. I mean I'm like my Ma...I LOVE Salt!!!!
So all in all....I will never, ever make any of Rachel Rays dishes again. These tenders were not "health-ful" nor were they "Yummo" and of course they didn't even call for her blasted "EVOO" she makes me want to Gag. From now on I'll stick with Paula and her "Hey Ya'll"
And yes, the meal didn't go to a total waste. Luke ran to Popeyes and picked up a few chicken tenders for us. I was really wanting that acorn squash!!! What a wonderful hubby. I do have to say though this is maybe the 2nd time we have had to do this since we've been married, so it's not all that bad!

It LOOKS like a good meal if that makes you feel any better. I've never tried any of RR's recipes, but I would hate to go to that much trouble and not have it turn out good. I still can't believe she got a talk show. I'd much rather see Paula any day.
The acorn squash looks so good...but the chicken tenders...well, they just ain't Paula-style! LOL LOL You are such a good cook and I am so proud of you my baby girl!!!! I have missed you and if our luggage ever finds its way back from Seattle, I have some stuff for ya'll!!! Love you!!!!
Very interesting. Quite a bummer when you put so much into a meal like that. Guess if you never try anything new it would be boring. :) I agree with you on RR's hand movements.... AHHHH she is so predictable!
