Labor Day, Family, Chicken Wings and Florida State Football!

We had a fabulous Labor Day with my family. We FaceTimed with my baby sister who is in college at Palm Beach Atlantic University. She is an R.A. so she was not able to leave and spend the weekend with us. :(

My momma and I, FaceTiming with my baby sister, Danielle. (we're making sad faces, since she isn't with us.)


Love my kids reaction to seeing Aunt DD.


Joe volunteered the first part of the day at the God and Country event here in town. Then he met the kids and I at my parents house for a good ole' cookout. See, I was raised in a family that LOVES Buffalo Chicken Wings, seriously, we all love them! So my dad grilled the chicken wings on the grill and then we made Buffalo Sauce and tossed the wings and placed in the oven to stay hot. They were delicious! We also did our own fries, you know the old fashion way where you actually peel and slice the potatoes your self. So easy and again delicious. We used REAL ingredients, ones that we could actually read and understand what the back of the label said. :) 
 

Baked Fries
8-10 Potatoes, Peeled and Sliced into Fries
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Paprika
Salt
Pepper
1 TBSP Olive Oil

  • Add Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika, Salt and Pepper to taste and toss until combined. 
  • Drizzle with Olive Oil and place on a cookie sheet. 
  • Bake at 350* until almost done (30-40 minutes) then bring heat up to 500* to crisp the fries.


Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wings 
Chicken Wings (Frozen or Fresh)
2 Sticks of REAL Butter
Franks Hot Sauce

  • Grill wings until done.
  • Melt butter in a sauce pan add Franks Hot Sauce, more or less depending on your spiciness level. 
  • Toss wings in buffalo sauce and serve immediately or keep hot in oven. 

That's it! It's a great way to have a favorite food without all the unnecessary calories, grease, and preservatives.

Now to finish out a perfect day, my sweetie and are watching the Florida State game....Go NOLES!! 

Much Love, 
Chas
