Bringing "back in the day" back to today
I got home from work today and checked the weekly recipe page and found that we were scheduled to have some chipotle popcorn chicken. I look in all of our usual places and I am not finding the recipe anywhere. Next, I do a quick google search and find a couple references to the same recipe. …
If you are looking for fat, salt and calories there is no better way to get it than to go out to dinner at a popular chain restaurant for Chinese food. My exposure to chain Chinese food is limited to lunches that are delivered to our office. Although tasty, I find myself drinking copious amounts …
My weekly menu posting declares that this is house favorites week and that is no lie. I would say that this recipe ranks #1 as our family favorite (Eric correct me if I’m wrong). Chicken Milano draws actual cheers from the children (ok, and the adults too) whenever it makes the dinner rotation. We are a family …
Any meal that requires this many moving parts and continues to make it to my table on a regular basis has to be outstanding. The recipe is intimidating. One of my colleagues requested my chicken and biscuits recipe and laughed at me the next day when she discovered that I do not use refrigerator biscuits. We …
You will find no sea creatures in this jambalaya recipe. Collectively, we just can’t agree on seafood. My oldest loves fish and shrimp. I’ll eat haddock, lobster and crab. Eric is a scallops and clams kind of guy. My youngest can’t have shellfish. See why we avoid it? This is a creole jambalaya recipe that …
Before I left work today, everyone was talking about what type of food that they were ordering for dinner tonight. I must admit that I was seriously considering ordering a pizza. When I arrived home, I found Eric toiling away in the kitchen whipping up homemade Chinese food. The results were 1000x better than anything I’ve ever …
This is one of those recipes. The ones that comes up after you eat the same meals over and over again. With high hopes you add it to your menu. And as sure as the sun rises and sets it gets skipped that week. I can’t really say why, it’s not like it is complicated …
Growing up just outside of Utica means that chicken riggies were a must have at picnics, family functions, and on restaurant menus. Interestingly, if you stray too far from the Utica/Rome region people don’t know what the heck you’re talking about. Over the past few years, I have seen Utica chicken riggies popping up on menus …
If you are in need of comfort food, this is it! This chicken and rice soup is creamy, flavorful, and mmm, mmm, good. Make it once and you’ll say good-bye to Campbell’s. Obviously, this is not going to be as easy or as quick as popping open canned soup. Bear with me here. I did …
There were two reasons why this recipe made the menu this week. For one, I was sick of a can of water chestnuts staring at me every time that I opened the pantry. And when it’s below zero outside, a cooped up New Yorker will do just about anything to remind themselves of summer. This …
