Grapes and pesto on a pizza? We’ve enjoyed some interesting flavors on our pizzas over the years, but I’m not sure that red grapes and pesto were ever among the choices. Maybe that’s why we thought we had to give this recipe a try when we found it in the September 2009 issue of Cooking [...]

Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Zucchini and Goat Cheese
Posted in Food, Poultry, tagged Poultry, Squash on January 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The late summer feel of zucchini combined with the rich flavor of goat cheese were a great match for a bone-in breast of chicken and a coating of Herbs de Provence. This recipe was another winner from “A Harvest of Pumpkins and Squash” by Lou Seibert Pappas. We paired this chicken with an easy rice [...]
Buttermilk Oven-Fried Chicken
Posted in Food, Poultry, tagged Poultry on January 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A no-skin, crunchy oven-fried chicken with plenty of flavor. That’s what I’d been craving for quite some time, and that’s exactly what this recipe delivered. The girls and I love fried chicken, but the grease and salt of takeout and storebought oven-fried have always left us questioning our judgement afterward. Luckily, Cooking Light magazine came [...]

Earthy, satisfying, complex. Sounds like a great glass of wine, but tonight it was our entire meal. This beauty was from the September 2007 issue of Food & Wine magazine, and it was outstanding. I’d read this issue a while back and then filed it away, but for some reason it came out over the [...]

This was probably the best Cornish Game Hen recipe we’ve done, which is no knock on these little birds, but rather a commentary on our skills. This particular recipe was simple, but very flavorful. The combination of the red currant jelly and the brown mustard made for a rich and complex flavor, with a welcome [...]

This terrific soup was created by Tina Washburn, a personal chef from San Diego, and featured in the December 2008 edition of Cooking Light magazine. Our Minnesota night was a balmy 14 degrees, and we found the heat and flavor of this creation to be exactly what we needed. We enjoyed this soup with a [...]
Grilled Chicken Thighs with Roasted Grape Tomatoes

I’m continually amazed by the visceral effect of grilled food on a summer evening. That sounds like exaggeration, but it isn’t. Tonight we enjoyed this very simple recipe from Cooking Light, and while our mouths watered just plating the food, it was even more so as we took our first bites. The lemon, garlic and olive oil [...]

Thanks goes out to Janice Elder, of Charlotte, North Carolina for this delicious recipe. I don’t personally know Janice, but we found her delicious entry in the Category Finalist section of the Cooking Light Ultimate Reader Recipe Contest, in the April 2008 edition of Cooking Light. The cucumbers, mint and honey provided a sweet balance for [...]

Ah, somedays running out of time can be a blessing. We hosted an Dinner by Appetizer for some friends who were visiting from out of town, and we created a number of tasty appetizers, beginning with roasted red pepper dip, crab dip, and various crostini, and worked our way up to a few meatier creations [...]
