Sunday Dinner

What’s Cookin‘ in the Parsonage?
This was a very busy weekend with the ladies’ retreat at church, so I didn’t go out on a limb for Sunday dinner. We didn’t have to resort to scrambled eggs or sandwiches, however (not that that is a bad thing, it’s just not what we would call “Sunday dinner food”). Here’s the menu:
Barbecued Roasted Chicken
White Rice, served with barbecue drippings from chicken
Corn, tomato, and red onion side dish
Green Salad with apples, craisins and walnuts/Raspberry vinaigrette
Toasted French Bread with Parmesan cheese
Ice Cream
To have the meal ready for when we got home, here are my preparations made before leaving at 9:00.
  1. Put roasting hen into a 9 x 13 dish. Salt and pepper chicken. Spread barbecue sauce on chicken with basting brush. Add about a cup of water to dish. Place in 275 degree oven uncovered.
  2. Measure out rice. Set aside. Measure water for rice in the pan it will be cooked in. Leave on stove ready to boil upon returning home.
  3. Make corn side dish. Pour a can of Niblets white shoe peg corn into a mixing bowl. Add about a cup of diced grape tomatoes and 1/4 cup diced red onion. Add approximately 1/4 cup low-fat Italian dressing. Toss. Cover and refrigerate.
  4. Set table. Then, after returning home after church:
  5. Boil water for rice. Add rice and let set ’til done.
  6. Slice French bread. Butter, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place under broiler ’til browned.
  7. Slice chicken and place on a platter.
  8. Viola! Dinner is ready!

  1. Sounds yummy! I'll have to try it!

    I stumbled upon your blog this evening, shared by a friend here in town. I'll most likely be checking back… :o)

    My husband and I are looking forward to visiting you folks at BCBC and presenting the ministry the Lord has for us in Uruguay.

    Thank-you for ministering through your blog!

    In Christ,
