Bacon Wrapped Chicken, Roasted Green Beans with Cranberries & Mashed Poatoes

Tonight we had Bacon Wrapped Chicken, Roasted Greenbeans with Cranberries, and Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes. I also made some mushrooms to top the chicken with and they were really good. I made the mashed poatoes and green beans with my own recipe, but the chicken is one that I made a bunch of a month or two ago and put some in the freezer for later. It was all very good! I'm sure we'll be making these dishes again.

Here are the recipes:

Rachel's Roasted Greenbeans with Cranberries

Written By Rachel L - http://cookingformyfamily.blogspot.com

1 pound fresh organic green beans, trimmed

handful of organic dried cranberries

1 tablespoon olive oil

salt to taste

Preheat oven to 400. Place a large sheet of foil on baking sheet and put greenbeans on top. Sprinkle with olive oil (you can add more if you like) and then top with salt. Then add the cranberries on top. Wrap the foil around the greenbeans to make a packet, making sure they are completely sealed in. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove and carefully unwrap, the steam will be really hot!

For the cream cheese mashed potatoes I didn't really measure anything. I had about 1.5, maybe 2 pounds of potatoes that were boiled. I added a splash of milk and about 1/4 a bar of cream cheese and mashed them all together. Then I added salt to taste and that was it. This was a last minute thing to use up extra potatoes that I had sliced and didn't know what to do with from when I made the scalloped potatoes.
