First of all, today was a special treat, because my oldest friend in the world stopped by with his wonderful wife Tracy and their adorable new addition to the family, Emmett.
Jay and I grew up across the street from one another but it had been far too long since he'd been able to stop by the Roediger House. They were on their way from Asheville back home to Raleigh, after celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary.
Their photos of Emmett, by the way, are pretty awesome...check out Tracy's Instagram feed or Jay's Instagram feed.
As for dinner on this unusually quiet Saturday night at the Roediger House, I dipped into an old Southern Living recipes annual (gifted to me from friend and CRISS trainer colleague Peggy Clark from Florida), and I tried out stuffed bacon-wrapped chicken thighs. It was somewhat involved and I wouldn't have minded a boost in the flavors and seasoning, but it was still a good Saturday supper.
Cherrywood-smoked bacon wrapped all 'round, dipped in egg and lemon juice, dredged in lemon pepper-seasoned flour, fried for a bit, and then baked.
Stuffed inside with Swiss cheese, honey dijon, roasted red pepper strips, and some cubed stuffing...
