Making Dinner

Back in November of 2022 my boyfriend and I decided that we wanted to make dinner for my family. We came up with a plan to make cabbage that was both spicy and sweet, baked mac and cheese, chicken tender and some candied carrots. So we went to the store and we bought four different types of cheeses; cheddar, mexican blend, sharp white cheddar, and cream cheese. Along with those cheeses we bought, some carrots, different seasonings, some buttermilk, and boneless skinless chicken. When we were making everything my sister decided that she wanted to help us so she did. For the mac and cheese we melted some butter in a pan, and added a little bit of flour, after that was melted together we combined all of these cheeses that we go so that we could make a roux, we added the cheddar, mexican blend, sharp white cheddar, and the cream cheese. After it was all melted together we put our cooked macaroni in a tin pan and poured our cheese roux over top of it while mixing it in, after that we added a bunch of cheese to the top of it and then put it into the oven to cook. While we waited for that to bake we started on our cabbage and our chicken tender. For the cabbage we put some water in a pot and added the chopped up cabbage into it, after all the cabbage got soft enough and it soaked up all of the water we added some spices to it, some sugar, and some sausage that we pan fried, then we let all of that mix together while we prepared out chicken strips, my sister cut up all of the chicken into good size strips, while my boyfriend and I put the buttermilk into a bowl and mixed together some cajun seasoning, some salt and pepper, and flour in another bowl. We coated all of the chicken in this mixture and fried those in a pan with some oil. The last thing that we made was be boiled some carrots until they were a little soft, then drained them and added butter, sugar and brown sugar and mixed all of that together. We took the mac and cheese out of the oven and dried off the fried chicken tender and dinner was ready. Down below you will see some pictures of everything that we made, hope you enjoy.
