It was easy and was kid-friendly and actually, quite yummy as well.  I doubled the recipe, but it wasn&#8217;t really necessary &#8211; I think that the amount of marinade\/sauce in a single batch would be plenty, even for 4 chicken breasts.<\/p>\n<p>As for the potatoes, I saw Paula Deen and Robert Irvine cooking appealing Hasselback potatoes on a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\">Food Network<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/food\/show_sp\/episode\/0,1976,FOOD_9994_54080,00.html\">Holiday special<\/a>, but when I went looking for the recipe, I found that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/food\/my_recipe_box\/review\/0,1973,FOOD_9919_90083,00.html\">reviews<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/food\/recipes\/recipe\/0,,FOOD_9936_90083,00.html\">their version of the recipe<\/a> weren&#8217;t great and went looking for another version.  I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oprah.com\/foodhome\/food\/recipes\/food_20030718_potato.jhtml\">one by Nigella Lawson<\/a> that looked potentially bland and a few others that looked too complicated, but when I saw <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/food\/recipes\/recipe\/0,1977,FOOD_9936_31123,00.html\">this one<\/a> by Emeril, it looked like a winner.  His recipes can usually be relied upon to turn out well.  I (of course!) did add a bit of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emerils.com\/recipes\/by_name\/baby_bam.html\">Baby Bam seasoning<\/a> (it WAS an Emeril recipe, after all!).  The potatoes took a little longer than the time stated in the recipe to be cooked through, but they were tasty.<\/p>\n<p>I normally have a hard-and-fast &#8220;no TV during dinner&#8221; rule, but the kids have both been sick and have had a bit of a tough week, so we watched a bit of the new Harry Potter &#8220;Order of the Phoenix&#8221; DVD while we were eating last night.  I do have these great &#8220;snack plates&#8221; that we hardly get to use, otherwise.  Every once in a while, you have to know when to bend the rules, right?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4026.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_4026.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"265\" \/><br \/>\nKid plate.<\/p>\n<p>I popped an apple pie (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pillsbury.com\/Recipes\/ShowRecipe.aspx?rid=11187\">recipe<\/a> right off the box of Pillsbury pie crust) in the oven while the potatoes were cooking, so we had a warm dessert, too.  It turned out a little messy (Hubby is a great pie crust &#8220;crimper&#8221; but he was working on another project last night, so I was in the kitchen alone), but it was yummy and was perfect for the rainy weather we had yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4028.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_4028.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"244\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adult plate.
