I have always thought myself to be a prissy kinda eater.
Not as in I turn my nose up to certain foods. I welcome most foods with open arms.
Except olives.
I have an extreme hatred for those salt bombs.
Prissy can have quite a few meanings but in my world, I say prissy as I enjoy eating my meals with utensils. No mess. Hands stay clean. Face stays clean. Most of the time. But as everything there is an exception to rules. Two exceptions come to think of it.
First off, I take my pancakes mini. I enjoy them hot, cold. Pretty much in any fashion really. Then with my mini pancakes I enjoy to eat them with my hands and dip them in maple syrup. Only a smidgen though! I don’t maple syrup with a side of pancake, please and thank you. I am not sure where my love of miniature pancakes started but I think sometime in college when I was hated on (not really…) for my mini hands. It would be weird for a 5’4” gal to have ginormous hands dontcha think? I agree.
I thought my love of mini pancakes and eating them with my hands was the end of my not so glamorously eating fashion. I have long loathed chicken wings, while my husband has a special place in his heart for them. There is a few restaurants around town, he begs me to go with him. I politely decline then he runs off with his buddies for some beers, wings and ball. Perfect guy stuff that a wife doesn’t need to be involved in.
That all changed when he asked for a healthier spin on wings. My wheels started turning. Baked wings have been done time and time again. So I know I needed another route. Then the slow cooker came to mind and I knew that was my venture.
They are cooked all day in a homemade garlic teriyaki sauce making the wings fall off the bone tender. The teriyaki sauce couldn’t be any easier and you probably already have the ingredients lying around! A quick simmer of the sauce, the wings go in and you are done!
I am willing to be aside my prissy eating habits if I get to indulge in these teriyaki chicken wings one more time.
