Pepperoni Stuffed Chicken & Scalloped Potatoes


It's been a few days!  We went to eat at Garry's dad's house on Monday then yesterday we decided to go out to eat for our anniversary since Garry had the day off.  But now I'm back to cooking until the last week of October when I go out to eat with dad sometime.  So...as you can imagine the schedule's all out of whack but that's alright.  The food we got will last longer so we can really cut back on next week's spending to make up for eating out (and splurging $20 to get 5 DVDs from Blockbuster)

Anyway!  Today we had a feast and it was wonderful!  We had Cesar salad, garlic toast, (which Garry prepared), pepperoni stuffed chicken, and scalloped potatoes.  Yummmm.  Of all that I'm just going to feature the chicken and potatoes...because they were both super easy to make and super delicious
