Nothing says comfort food to me like a roast chicken dinner. This delicious recipe is not only easy, but you can work it in during the week. A 12-inch cast iron skillet is a must or you won’t get the same resulting flavors. Definitely use Chibata bread for the stuffing cubes. If you have to […]

I know you have seen many recipes for “Oven Fried Chicken”, but this one is a “keeper”! What makes it unique is that instead of buttermilk, which of course would be easier, I use a combination of milk, lemon juice, sherry, and low fat sour cream. It gives it a very distinctive and moist taste. […]
Old Fashioned Chicken Soup Studies have shown that what your grandmother use to say was true! She would say, “If you are coming down with a cold or already have one, get some chicken soup into you! You can put a variety of vegetables into it – turnip, parsnips, or even kale! However, the ones […]

I have also done this dish with skinless, bone-in chicken thighs and I think it kicks the flavor up a notch. Any meat […]
Believe it or not, I have not had much experience with curry as a spice. In fact, I thought my husband was not fond of it. I finally asked him what he had against curry and he said that he liked curry. His mistress must have been serving it to him – just kidding. I […]
