Chicken and Turkey

Deep Fried Turkey with Honey, Bourbon and Roasted Pecan Glaze

As much as I love to experiment with new recipes for almost any occasion, I love this Maple and Bacon Roasted Turkey so much that I can’t imagine not having it each year on Thanksgiving. After that effort which always entails a full day of cooking, I make a point of making Christmas easier. I [...]

Turkey, Cranberry and Cream Cheese Sandwich with Sprouts and Sunflower Seeds

I admit…I’m pulling something from the Archives to publish again. I’ll hope you’ll forgive me; pretty please? When I first started this blog I had 2 readers; me and my dog. Still, I transferred some of my best recipes from an older recipe website where they now languish in the archives and deserve better. This [...]

Welshing on the Rabbit becomes Welsh Wabbit (Think Chicken!)

I’ve watched a couple of my friends participate in a unique monthly event called a Recipe Swap. Each month they are given a recipe to start from and their challenge is to ‘swap’ out some of the ingredients to make the end result their own personal and updated take on the original recipe. It sounded [...]

Mustard Glazed Chicken with Arugula and Bok Choy

I recently received a box of organic produce filled with some pretty standard fare including blueberries, oranges, sweet potatoes and onions (made an easy casserole with those two) and also included in that box was bok choy.

And this is one of my absolute favorite dishes. The finished result is beyond the ease of preparation. OK…so another [...]

Crispy Sesame Chicken Salad

Sometime last year Tyler Florence started using Twitter on Fridays for a mini cooking class. It was unique but sort of a pain. Following the #twitlish hashtag resulted in having to read a LOT of questions from novice cooks that quickly made following that stream difficult and yes, boring. However, I still decided to make [...]

Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad with Chipotle Buttermilk Dressing

I do get a kick out of a site called Food Network Humor and though I laugh at some of the outrageous pieces on many of the hosts and other snafus, I sometimes wonder about their level of scorn for Bobby Flay. Now, I don’t know Mr. Flay and have no personal knowledge of his [...]

Curried Chicken Salad with Dried Cranberries and Toasted Walnuts

I first had this Curried Chicken Salad at a networking event I attended a couple of years ago. It was so good, everyone wanted the recipe and now it’s a favorite to use for leftover chicken. I modified the original a bit with the addition of some dried cranberries and toasted nuts; they added some [...]
