I needed a good laugh about now…😂 #staysafe #stayhome #lockdown #pandemic

Recipe for Smothered Chicken❤ 1-1 1/2 lbs chicken parts ( I use drumsticks and thighs) Roll the chicken pieces in seasoned flour. 1 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1 tsp poultry seasoning 1 tsp paprika 2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp onions powder Brown the chicken in a quarter cup hot oil, or more if needed, until golden brown and remove from skillet and drain. You only want to brown the outside of the chicken, not cook the inside. While the chicken is browning, in another pan, I saute one chopped onion and 2 tsp minced garlic in a little bit of oil and set aside. (Saute onion for about 2 minutes then add garlic for another minute.) I remove most of the oil and crusty bits from the skillet that the chicken was cooked in and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When it's heated I add 3 tablespoons of the seasoned flour that I rolled the chicken in. I whisk the flour and oil together until well blended and add 2 cups of chicken broth slowly, whisking. I cook it for a couple of minutes on medium heat and then add 1 cup of evaporated milk. (You can also use regular or low fat milk.) After adding milk, cook on medium heat for another couple of minutes. Add the cooked onions and garlic to the gravy. Then I place all the chicken pieces in a pyrex dish and pour the gravy on top. Cover the pyrex dish tightly with foil and put in a 350° degree oven for one hour and 15 minutes. Serve over rice. Enjoy!❤ #cookingwithalana #comfortfood #recipe #chicken #southernfood #cooking #food #stayhome #lockdown

Sunday dinner. Not our usual family gathering since everyone is sheltering in place or whatever you call it. I really miss seeing my kids, but my daughter lives 5 minutes from me, so they often come for dinner. She's a little camera shy as you can see.😂 ( For those of you who asked for the sweet potato pie recipe, it's under comments in my last post, the one of me in my robe eating the pie for breakfast.)💕💕💕 #sundaydinner #homecooking #cookingwithalana #southerncooking #stayhome #lockdown

Sunday breakfast...🍠 The pie was absolutely delicious! I had forgotten how good sweet potato pies are. Now, if anyone has a great recipe for all the sweet potatoes I have left, please let me know! I also made a sweet potato casserole for dinner tonight.( with marshmallows on top). #sundaymorning #cookingwithAlana #dessert #sweetpotato #pie #weekend #stayhome ##lockdown #staysafe

My little angel, Delilah, shot this of me with my freshly baked sweet potato pie and sweet potato casserole. And I've only made a small dent in the sweet potato surplus.😁🍠🥧 #cookingwithAlana #stayhome #lockdown #dessert🍰 #baking

Flashback to a joint birthday party, late 80's, with my sis, @joancollinsdbe. Very 80's!!🎂🍾🥂#funmemories #fbf #friendship #birthdayfun #birthday #80's #80shair

Anybody else feel like opening the mail has become a full time job? ❤ #thenewnormal #staysafe #stayhome #lockdown #covid19 #coronavirus

Disclaimer*** we filmed this before the official quarantine but we did stay home one day and I put on @foxnews and that didn’t go over well. Maybe next time we’ll just watch @Netflix, @kathyfreston? Although now I miss you and promise no more Fox News when we can finally hang out together again...even though they are “fair and balanced”:) And you know hiw I love to torture you a little. 😁😘❤️Full episode on @kathyfreston IGTV 💗 . . . . . #quarantine #foxnews #alanaandkathy #birdsofafeather #bff #differentviews @joelosteen #covid19 #coronavirus #socialdistancing

I could mess up a 2-car funeral! Apparently I didn't put the top on tight enough...😱 #smoothie #stayhome #staysafe #lockdown #cookingwithAlana
