I wanted to make fresh mashed potatoes because I had leftover whipping cream from the frittata recipe. I never made fresh mashed potatoes and they were so much better then the instant. I made James mom's famous chicken cutlets. Instead of dipping them in egg, bread crumbs and frying them in vegetable oil. She would soak the chicken cutlets in milk for about an hour, coat them with bread crumbs and then fry them in margarine. They come out really moist this way. I also made green beans with olive oil and Italian seasonings. James and I really enjoyed this dinner!
