Before I give you the link to this evening’s Pampered Chef dinner, I have to tell you first that I changed the cooking process. The ingredients and amounts are all the same (with the exception of my improvised basil and citrus rub, and the chicken) but the way I cooked the chicken and sauce is [...]

Pesto chicken noodle soup
October 18, 2011
Whenever my mom made chicken soup she didn’t cut the chicken into little itty bitty pieces – she’d throw in whole chicken legs and then she’d separate the drumstick and thigh, keeping them both in tact. That is how I like my chicken soups, with an entire drumstick poking out of the broth. The smell [...]
Garlic Roast Chicken with Rosemary and Lemon
October 7, 2011
I bought Rachael Ray’s Cooking ‘Round The Clock a few years ago and since then I’ve made a little over a handful of her recipes. Why haven’t I made more than that? I think my theory is to stick to recipes that looks exceedingly simple and require easy to obtain ingredients. This has got to [...]
Chicken Pilaff
February 24, 2010
I own this great cookbook called Dinner With Friends by Jane Price. I’ve tried several recipes from this book in the past and they, for the most part, have been amazing. Last night this book introduced me to a new way of cooking rice with chicken or meat without having to first cook the rice. [...]
Achiote Chicken
November 26, 2009
My goodness it’s been a while. I’ve been so busy with the National Novel Writing Month that after working all day on my novel I can’t seem to find the energy to make a decent meal, let alone write about it. But tonight I make an exception because I’ve neglected my lovely blog for too [...]
Chicken Parmesan
October 28, 2009
Jay celebrated his 30th birthday yesterday and I took him to see the Body Worlds exhibit at the Science Centre. I’d never been and I was beyond impressed. After walking around for hours, looking at the posed remains of humans, we headed back home to eat. I made a very simple dinner of chicken Parmesan, [...]
Spicy Chicken Soup
October 17, 2009
The best way to thaw after a chilly walk in the park is to eat a big bowl of spicy chicken soup. This soup will definitely make you sweat! 1 chicken leg, cut into pieces, keep bones 1 cup rice, uncooked Approx 6 cups of water 2 or 3 bay leaves 2 large carrots, cut [...]
Oh my Food God, this is outrageous!
September 18, 2009
See previous post on jalapeño corn bread sandwich, toasted with melted Havarti cheese. The corn bread itself was nothing spectacular, hence why I turned it into sandwich bread. For lunch today I thought I’d make myself another corn bread sandwich with perhaps some cooked chicken breast as well as Havarti cheese. But, in my mind [...]
Hunter Style Chicken aka Chicken Cacciatore
September 15, 2009
I’ve started a distance learning program on writing. There are five classes in total and the official start date for these classes was on Friday. Because I decided to scamper off to a noisy campsite – Oastler Lake, a CN train goes by every couple hours even throughout the night – over the weekend, I [...]
Saturday Chicken, Sunday Biscuits
August 24, 2009
I have been thinking a lot about the Carrot Juice Chicken I made last week. It truly was spectacular and since then I’ve been wondering about using other types of juices to cook meat in. I was inspired and on Saturday, I decided to experiment with tomato juice. I used V8 juice with high fibre [...]
