American Southern

American Southern. Tons of flavor, and unapologetic use of butter. No one was looking to win any healthy food contests with these dishes, but we we're all too busy licking our lips to care. I finally got a chance to fry up some chicken! Next Week: Cuban!

On the Menu:

Mississippi Sin Dip
Rob made this creamy, cheesy dip baked right into a bread bowl. To be honest it was good enough to eat with a spoon, but the crudité helped us control ourselves a little. Veggies done right.

Triple-dipped Fried Chicken
The breading on this recipe was perfect. It was seasoned just right and was just the right amount of thickness. It was also very easy to do. I will say that the cook times on the recipe were a bit short, so I'd add 5-10 min to what's posted. Upon realizing that, we finished the chicken in the oven - no harm, no fowl (sorry >.<)

Chocolate Chess Pie w/ fresh whipped cream
This pie was similar to the delicious buttermilk pie that Rachael made for us on Cajun night. The main difference was that this was unbelievably chocolaty. The fresh whipped cream put it over the top, and offset the super sweet pie.
