TUSCAN BIRTHDAY CHICKEN

August 6, 2023

The past few months I have been trying to branch out and experiment with new recipes. It is easy to get stuck in the same meal rotation. We always make time to eat a family meal on Sundays, so it’s a great time for me to try new dishes. The sauce for this meal comes together so quickly and it would be great with different proteins. I think it would be delicious with shrimp, steak, and a wide variety of vegetables. … More TUSCAN BIRTHDAY CHICKEN

SMOTHERED HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

August 5, 2023

For the past 8 years, since we raise meat birds, I have not had to purchase chicken from the supermarket. With an abundance of chicken in our freezer, I am always looking for new ways to prepare it. This recipe is inspired by a dish that I had at an Outback Steakhouse. It involves marinating the chicken in a homemade honey mustard sauce.

Potato Encrusted Fried Chicken

March 8, 2019

Growing up in Crystal Falls in the 70s, with a traditional family structure, cooking was primarily reserved for my mother. She was a stay-at-home mom until my senior year of high school and the only time I remember my dad cooking was on hot summer evenings when he manned the domed charcoal grill. I know … More Potato Encrusted Fried Chicken
