Jen Nails It Southern Pinterest Challenge
A few weeks back I introduced a new Jen Nails It Pinterest Challenge, wherein I was going Southern.I, the little Hispanic girl, was going to try and make fried chicken and the whole enchilada. Um, make that grits casserole?
Here was the recipe and picture I snagged from Pinterest.
I also decided to make this cheesy grits caserole.
As the coup d'etat I pulled in this recipe for collared greens.
Jen Nails It Challenge Southern Style
One thing I have NEVER EVER tried to make is Southern comfort food. My husband and children feel this is a situation that apparently needs to be remedied.
So, for my 3rd installment of the Jen Nails It Pinterest Challenge I will attempt to make a bona fide Southern dinner with fried chicken as the star!
I understand from my research that most fried chicken recipes have been handed down from generation to generation, can be decades even a hundred years old and are almost a living breathing entity in some families. Yup, I should totally be able to NAIL this bad boy for sure.
The Jen "Nails It" Pinterest Challenge
I love the luscious desserts and savory fare that make me drool over their sweet perfection. I covet the fashion and perfectly coiffed hair that seems so easy to copy and incorporate into my busy life. I salute all of the holidays that I never even knew existed. I too will celebrate National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day with all of the gooey goodness displayed in the magical squares of preparation perfection!
Pinterest is like a big happy smorgasbord of the best of everything and I can sample and even put things away for future conquest with a single click.
It's no secret that I am completely time starved. Everything I cook, craft or try to accomplish in a day has to be done with maximum efficiency in mind. When I am on Pinterest, logic and reason forget to inform me that some of this stuff would be impossible for me. Something needs 40 ingredients, two weeks of preparation and ingredients only found in a Moroccan market, I can do that! That Spaghetti sauce with the meat and cheese stuffed pasta that has been passed down for generations until it is embedded in your family's genetic code? I got that, and should be able to knock it out in about 45 minutes.
