I love when dinner is a success

This week I’ve kind of been full of fail in the kitchen. I just haven’t been home to cook, or been super busy and didn’t have time to prepare dinner ahead of time. I’m sure it was just poor planning on my part.

Anywhoo, yesterday I defrosted three packages of chicken legs with the intention of making this. Obviously, based on that sentence I didn’t do it. So I made it today. Let me preface, we’re not a strict paleo-eating household, but I can get behind the diet in theory. I <3 bread. And butter. And heavy whipping cream in my coffee.
