I have to say this was one of the best meals my wife and I cooked up EVER!!!!

As a kid, I can remember anytime my parents took us out to a restaurant I would order chicken fried steak. It’s been one of my favorites ever since.

Several month ago, I wanted to try to make chicken fried steak. As I do any time I want to make the perfect “enter food item” I looked to the web in search of the best recipe.

I settled on a combination of a couple of recipes based on the ingredients I had on hand, and my first attempt was amazing.

The breaded mixture had saltine crackers in it, something that hadn’t been a part of the steaks I had eaten in my youth, but it sounded like a good mix.

Each time I made this favorite meal I got better, except for the time when I wanted to cook for my Mother-In-Law. Let’s just say I wish I had a do over button that night. Despite practically burning the steak, and ruining the gravy, my wife helped me salvage what we could and the dinner wasn’t a total loss.

Tonight was the redemption I wish I could have displayed for my Mother-In-Law. My wife and I teamed up to make sure the dinner went smooth. Not only did it turn out smooth, but we got it done in record time. We make a great team!!!

The best addition to the recipe was the baked asparagus. A recipe my wife found on PioneerWoman.com which has resulted in our decision to NEVER eat asparagus from a can again.

So … enjoy the pics of our ultimate dinner treat.

Enjoy … Scott
