Recipe: Sweet and Sticky Slow Cooker Drumsticks
>So I can’t believe I didn’t post this recipe earlier. Actually, I can believe it; for while there I was about twelve books behind on my book review blog, though I’m finally caught up there. But getting around to posting the new recipes I’ve tried lately has not been at the top of my list … Continue reading
Recipe: Oven Roasted Sprite Chicken
> Several years ago – it must be going on five or six now – one of Tony’s aunts gave all the women in the family ceramic “beercan chicken” pottery cooking vessels, and for the past five or six years it’s either been sitting in the depths of my cupboards or has been dormant in … Continue reading
Recipe: Sweet, Sticky, and Spicy Chicken
>So I found this recipe awhile ago and from the reviews and the ingredients it looked like a meal that Tony would like. The Critters… not so much, but that’s bound to happen now and then. Because I’d copied and edited this recipe based on the reviews a couple months ago, I can’t remember if … Continue reading
Recipe: Mild Stewed Chicken Curry
> It’s only been since I’ve arrived on Okinawa that I’ve begun eating curry. And now that I have… I’m a fan, at least of the milder versions. I’m really a fan of Coco’s Curry but unfortunately there are none of those Japanese curry chains where we’ll be moving, so I’ve been trying to find … Continue reading
Recipe: Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
>I’m a soup-maker. I LOVE making soups. In the summer it’s usually too hot to stand in front of the stove all day while I let a pot simmer away, which is partly why I love when fall and winter come around. Sundays are soup nights. I randomly found this recipe online and it looked … Continue reading
Recipe: Chicken Tortilla Skillet
>I have about twenty copies of the (previously) free Kraft Food & Family magazines that I’ve brought with me from Germany, to South Carolina, to Colorado and now here to Okinawa. Although I don’t utilize these recipes as often as I used to, every now and then I pull them out for some inspiration. Many … Continue reading
Recipe: Slow Cooker Onion and Cream Cheese Chicken with Vegetables
>Last week I had planned to cook a recipe from my Crock-Pot cookbook, but when I was preparing to get everything in order I realized I didn’t have the exact ingredients. This recipe is heavily based off of that recipe but with, what I imagine is, a very different flavor profile. The original recipe called … Continue reading
Recipe: Chicken Piccata
>I’ve eaten chicken piccata in restaurants but had never attempted to make it myself. When I found it in the January edition of Cook’s Country magazine I thought I’d give it a try. This was very easy to make, even though it’s got several steps in the process. The directions may seem a little funny … Continue reading
Recipe: Cashew Chicken
>Cashew chicken is one of the recipes that I almost always order when I’m at a Chinese restaurant because it’s simple, deliciously flavored, and just plain yummy. I never would have thought to attempt cooking it until I found it in the January 2009 edition of Cook’s Country magazine. The recipe looked easy enough to … Continue reading
Recipe: Teriyaki Chicken Lo Mein
>I love teriyaki anything, and I love Chinese/Asian-inspired meals. Unfortunately, my previous attempts to make this type of cuisine have failed. Miserably. Until last night. This recipe comes from Cook’s Country magazine, a sister publication of Cook’s Illsutrated, which in recent months has become my cooking bible. This magazine features soul food items, featuring more … Continue reading
