Braised Chicken Thighs with White Wine & Dijon | Brown Basmati & Wild Rice | Baby Arugula with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette The girls and I arrived home at 2:40am Monday morning…almost exactly 5 days {to the minute} from when we left in the darkness and rain the Wednesday before. The early morning departure for a Continue reading → «Braised Chicken Thighs with White Wine & Dijon»
MONDAY Prosciutto~Wrapped Chicken Thighs with Anchovy Butter | Charred Green Beans & Scallions I should know by now, after thirteen years into this horse “habit”, that things rarely go according to plan. Yet, when plans go awry {like they did this weekend}, I am still surprised. I won’t bore you with all of the horrific Continue reading → «Prosciutto~Wrapped Chicken with Charred Green Beans & Scallions»
This is not the popcorn you have come to know. It is nothing like the movie theater variety, or the microwave version. It is not the popcorn you find yourself retrieving from that cute little cart on wheels during happy hour, or at a reception, or at a backyard “event”. What it is…divinely decadent and Continue reading → «Chicken Skin Popcorn with Rosemary Butter»
MONDAY Chicken Salad with Arugula, Marcona Almonds, Pumpkin Seeds & Oranges When I serve a salad as the main course for dinner to my clan it has to be substantial. And by “substantial” I don’t necessarily mean in size {although my football/baseball playing high school son eats his weight around here} but rather in flavor…it Continue reading → «Chicken Salad with Almonds & Oranges»
WEDNESDAY Jane Grigson’s Celery Soup | Buffalo Chicken Wings It is just about 5:30pm on a very wet Friday evening. Rain…glorious rain…has been coming down, steadily, for hours. Not a shower, mind you, but a thoroughly soaking rain streaming down from a sky the color of battleship gray. It has eluded us for months, this Continue reading → «Celery Soup»
THURSDAY As I mentioned yesterday, I have fallen a bit behind this week. One thing leads to another and here I sit on Saturday morning chatting with you about our dinner on Thursday night. I know I could have let this one slide…you probably would never have noticed the missing post…but this salad deserves its Continue reading → «Cobb Salad & Dry Poaching Chicken Breasts»
SUNDAY Rosemary Chicken Lasagna Not too long ago, I came upon this lasagna recipe over at the Feasting at Home blog and I knew it would find its way to our dinner menu sooner rather than later, if for nothing more than to satisfy my curiosity. As I have recently mentioned, I have an Continue reading → «Rosemary Chicken Lasagna»
WEDNESDAY Lately, I have been drawn to broth-based soups. Bowls of vegetables, and a bit of protein, suspended in a clear broth which is brought to life with the addition of herbs & spices. A few weeks ago we enjoyed this Spicky Pork & Kale version and last week it was a fragrant Chicken Bouillon. Continue reading → «Immunity Soup with Chicken»
WEDNESDAY Chicken Bouillon | Boursin Deviled Eggs | Kale Salad with Mustard Cream Vinaigrette This morning, I had the pleasure of catching up with a dear friend. We first met, over eight years ago, in the manner common for moms with young children…school. We had children in the same grades, we volunteered like mad women Continue reading → «Chicken Bouillon & Boursin Deviled Eggs»
TUESDAY Chickens Roasted in Milk with Lemon, Cinnamon & Sage | Spigariello with Lemon~Garlic Vinaigrette | Roasted Potatoes We like chicken. We eat a lot of chicken. Grilled, pounded, fried, stuffed and skewered…chicken is a virtual blank canvas in the dinner arena. But of all the ways we enjoy this member of the fowl family, roasting Continue reading → «Chicken Roasted in Milk & Spigariello with Lemon~Garlic Vinaigrette»
