Day one started out great with poached eggs. I thought it would be a little more difficult, but sure enough drop the eggs into water gently and there you have poached eggs...tasted like fried eggs without the grease. For dinner my parents came over and we had pepper crusted pork tenderloin, a cherry brie salad, and rosemary french beans. The salad was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. It had sauteed almonds with sugar, romaine, brie in it. The dressing was my favorite with lots of sugar and apple cider vinegar(YUM). The pork loin was super tender and pretty easy to make. By mixing Dijon mustard several spices and adding breadcrumbs it makes a fun crust. The french beans were cooked in butter...what more do I need to say?
Day two was a little more adventurous. The day started with my first ever omelet. It tasted Divine, but stuck to the pan and was defiantly not pretty. It also was not as cooked as I would have liked, but still tasty. Around lunch time I realized the kiwi ice I waned to make had to freeze most of the day, so I started it early. You blend kiwi and apple juice then add splenda and orange zest. It was fruity and cold, this would be a great summer treat. I then started on the hash brown casserole...Oh Man are they to die for. Yes it has enough calories for your whole day, but man is it worth it. Mix a bag of hash browns, lb of Velveeta, half stick of butter, 16oz sour cream, and cream of chicken soup, then top with butter and cornflakes. It was SO good. Then I had the funniest experience with the chicken. I got chicken breast halves instead on bone in tenders. They were good, but huge! My husband felt like he needed a meat flask to go with his chicken! So I mixed spinach, ricotta, Swiss, and garlic for the stuffing. then I added paprika, thyme, and basil to coat the top. pretty good, but huge. For desert we had sticky buns topped with caramel and pecans. They rocked, but you need half a day to make them. you need to make your dough, let it rise, add cinnamon, butter, and sugar to top and roll up like a jelly roll. Then add pecans,whipping cream, and brown sugar to make crust. let that sit for another hour before baking. mmmmmmm. delish! Today was yummy, but hard work!

I am Rachael's dad, and I would highly recommend the chops and buns, but it is all good stuff.
