What did you guys make on the 4th?

We had grilled chicken wings with white sauce, roasted tomato pasta salad, chips and salsa, fresh fruit, and a flag cake for dessert. I love summer cookout food!

We just got home from a 5 day family reunion camping trip. Had such a blast! Did all our cooking over the fire. Mostly consisted of meat (steaks, chicken breast, hamburgers, hot dogs) and veggies cooked in foils. Super delicious.

We went to a friend's for the 4th. They BBQed chicken, pork chops, and hot dogs. Smothered potatoes and the baked beans recipe I posted last month on the side. I made toffee cake for dessert.

Yesterday we had chicken and rice with creamy roasted red bell pepper sauce and Italian blend cheeses.

I'm going to a friend's tonight for a girls night I'll be cooking fajitas for the two of us. And I bought GF chocolate brownie cookies and Reddi-Wip for dessert. And there's wine chilling in her fridge...

The guys will be eating their usual guys' night casserole - chopped sausage, brown rice, and shredded sharp cheddar with enough half and half to make it creamy. I'm not a big fan, but they love it and it's a big, special thing for them

I wanted chicken, rice, and gravy but I'm out of beef broth...

We had sauteed chicken with pan-fried potatoes and green beans (steamed, then browned in olive oil in my cast iron skillet). Leftover toffee cake for dessert.

I'd share some with you if you were closer. I love chicken, rice and gravy. It's soooo yummy - ultimate comfort food. I make mine with chicken broth though. Do you have some of that on hand?

What are your go to recipes for chicken rice and gravy?

I used to make it with cream of mushroom soup. Back in the day when I wasn't by the ingredients on it. My kids still ask for that dish so I've been casually thinking about an alternative. Seems that it should be easy enough.

Oooh, that sounds yummy! Dh is out of town for a couple of weeks, so I have taken the easy way out and done a lot of junk food. Ds was asking for soup, and that might be tomorrow's lunch.
