Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! This is one of my favorite holidays because it involves mashed potatoes. One of my favorite all time meals. My job this Thanksgiving was to make the appetizers. And what a wild ride this took me on. I waited until the last possible moment to buy the groceries. By the last possible moment I mean THANKSGIVING MORNING. I drove around for an hour to 5 different super markets and all were closed. I have my sister on the phone calling up other local markets and finally I found one small specialty shop that was open. THANK GOD. The only problem was that they had nothing that I wanted to make my appetizers with. Ok- time to improvise. I felt like I was on that show Chopped. So I quickly gathered groceries and ran home because I only had an hour to cook!

Jon reminded me that it was his birthday yesterday and that it was the perfect time to make him this amazing Chicken Parmesan. I’ve been dragging my feet to long on this so Jon will have Chicken Parmesan on his birthday. What a great birthday present!
