One day last week I was catching up with the DVR’d Food Network shows I like to watch. Mostly, Barefoot Contessa, Tyler Florence – that’s enough. If I watch too many shows, I would have way too many ideas floating around in my mind and wouldn’t get around to trying any of them. I usually [...]

A Good Old Stand-By and a Good New Stand-By

I had two little visitors staying with us for a few days while their parents were out of town. We played inside, outside, checked out the toys at Walmart, picked up Happy Meals at McDonald’s, and had picnic lunches. Not knowing what each afternoon and evening would bring, I decided to let the crockpot do all the [...]
Plan Now for a Mothers’ Day Luncheon
Posted in chicken, chicken breasts, lunch, tagged chicken salad, Mothers' Day luncheon on April 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I used to have a luncheon for my mother and mother-in-law for Mothers’ Day. It was fun trying to plan a menu that was “girly” enough to be special for the “Moms” and yet hearty enough to appeal to the “Dads” who were invited as well.
One time I prepared a multi-course meal, keeping the total [...]
Chicken Cutlets and Chicken Thighs
Posted in chicken on January 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I bought some nice thin chicken cutlets the other day at the grocery, a little time-saver. No need to pound them to an even thinness myself.
I prepared them day before yesterday by dredging them in flour, then egg, then slightly crushed, seasoned panko, while the skillet was preheating. It only took a few minutes on each side [...]

I am guilty of being a lazy cook this past week. By the end of the day, if I haven’t started something for dinner early, I am not in the mood to spend a lot of time fussing with new recipes. I have been tired because my dogs haven’t been cooperative during the [...]
Chicken Little and Succotash
Posted in chicken, chicken breasts, side dish, succotash, tagged chicken, chicken breasts, succotash on August 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
There is nothing like boneless chicken breasts for convenience. Someone else dispatches the poor bird, plucks it and guts it – all those unpleasant chores required by us carnivores. Then, Chicken Little is dismembered and its breasts are de-skinned and de-boned for our convenience. All that for a price, I might remind [...]

I made Chicken Divan last night for dinner. I had two chicken breasts halves to cook and plenty of broccoli plus the other items that I needed to throw together. It’s a tasty dish and full of that great vegetable, broccoli.
There are lots of recipes for Chicken Divan, from simple to complicated. The [...]

This is a recipe from Gourmet Magazine via the Food Network. I think it is from a Sara Moulton show. I bought some chicken thighs Sunday and wanted to try something different. I did a little poking around on the internet and found this recipe. Luckily I had everything I needed, including [...]
Sauteed Chicken Breasts

Last night we had the chicken that I told you I would fix. It was really simple and very good. When Mac’s potato was nearly done baking, I had the stewed tomatoes simmering on the stove and the spinach ready to cook in the microwave for a few minutes.
To prepare the chicken, which was already [...]
FLAT CHICKEN
Posted in chicken, flat chicken on April 15, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Tonight we are having flat chicken. It is a weird looking bird whose poor mangled body looks like it was run over by a truck. It isn’t boned, exactly, but the backbone is either gone or broken so that the whole chicken lays flat. It is ready for grilling, or roasting. [...]

2 onions, in thick wedges
2 stalks celery, cut in 2″ chunks
Salt, pepper, paprika, whatever herbs or spices you want

I mentioned yesterday that I was preparing a new recipe and would review it today. Here is a photo, the best I could take last night at 10:00pm. We were taking care of Annabelle while her parents took her brother Xan to the hospital for Xrays. He fell out of bed yesterday and had been [...]
