Strikes my fancy

This was a simple makeover - I even used the same knobs!  But it was fun to bring a new life to a piece.

 This was a fun makeover.  I bought this cute bedside table/dresser at a yard sale when I first moved to ATL.  It was green...that always catches my eye!  At the time the color matched my bedroom, but the knobs were a bit wild.  You can see the round knob I used at the bottom of this photo.   And then I moved & got a new bedroom set and green just wasn't cutting it anymore.  So in came a soft yellow!  Such a cute all-purpose piece!

8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (1 3/4 pounds total) I used two chicken breast 1 Tbl lower-sodium soy sauce 1 pound red potatoes, unpeeled 1 large red pepper 3 Tbl apricot jam I used peach 1 Tbl fresh lemon juice 1 1/2 tsp vegetable oil 4 green onions, thinly sliced, plus additional for garnish 1/4 tsp salt Preheat oven to 425F.  In large bowl, combine chicken and soy sauce; let stand.  Cut potatoes and red pepper into 1/2" pieces.  In small bowl, mix jam and lemon juice until blended. In large microwave-safe bowl, combine potatoes and 1/4 cup water.  Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high 5 minutes or until potatoes are just tender.  Drain. Meanwhile, spread chicken on foil-lined 18" x 12" jelly-roll pan; brush with jam mixture.  Roast 15-17 minutes or until meat is no longer pink inside. While chicken roasts, in 12" nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium 1 minutes.  Add pepper and cook 3 minutes, stirring. ...
