Feta Cheese…Two different Recipes…Chicken and Shrimp

Posted by Nancy on April 15th, 2011

When I was growing up Feta cheese wasn’t a part of my diet. To be truthful I don’t believe my mother knew what Feta was or how to make use of it. It simply wasn’t widely recognized here in the United States. Over the years I have turn into a big supporter of the Feta! It’s really a fantastic mouth watering cheese and extremely distinctive.

Feta cheese is amongst the earliest cheeses on the planet, and it is considered an authentic product from Greece. To be more precise, since October 14, 2002, feta cheese has become officially recognized as being a Greek only, cheese.

Chicken Piccata and Capers

Posted by Nancy on March 31st, 2011

I didn’t really know what a caper was for a very long time. All I understood was these tiny dark green pea-size food items tasted really great, and that I couldn’t get an ample amount of them. In the event you don’t really know what a caper is, a caper is the bud of the flowering plant known as Capparis spinosa. It’s difficult to consider, but merely a single very small caper is jam-packed with a big list of nutrition. This transforms any recipe to a nutritious one whenever you incorporate capers. Capers are extremely versatile and work extremely well in a range of recipes.

Chicken Tortilla Soup Made Easy

Posted by admin on March 7th, 2011

Since I have  inherited the family “curse”  high cholesterol levels, I try watching whatever I eat, the amount I take in, and get all the physical exercise when I can squeeze into each day.  High cholesterol levels doesn’t imply you need to quit your favorite food items, it signifies be sensible with what you eat, be familiar with what is incorporated in the products you’re eating.  You can still enjoy food!

Chicken with Parsley Dumplings

Posted by Nancy on October 13th, 2010

Conversation, laughter, teasing and good food are some of what I remember about Sunday dinners when I was a child.  I also remember the meals.  I have always loved food even as a child.  As with any child I didn’t always love what was good for me but the sit down dinners began my love affair with a wide variety of foods and tastes.

My Mom was not a gourmet cook.  A lot of times the food was not what I would call out of the ordinary.  But it was always plentiful and favorable.  Lots to go around and filling. She wasn’t afraid to try new items, flavors or recipes she found in books.  Lots and lots of cookbooks!

Horseradish

Posted by Nancy on October 5th, 2010

Ever wonder where Horseradish came from?  Here are some little known facts on this root.
Horseradish is a member of the mustard family and is native to Eastern Europe, although it may have originated in Asia, Germany, or the Mediterranean area. The ancient Greeks used it, so did the Hebrews — it is one of the 5 bitter herbs of the Jewish Passover. The strong flavor of this root has an underlying sweetness and seems more like garlic than a spice.

Horseradish roots are available year round but are plentiful during the fall and early spring. Buy roots that are hard avoiding sprouting, greenish tinges, blemishes, and shriveling.

Roast Chicken with Balsamic Bell Peppers

Posted by Nancy on September 30th, 2010

We eat a lot of chicken so when I find a recipe that is different I always have to try it.

This particular recipe comes from CookingLight magazine.  If you don’t have a large family this is the ideal cooking and recipe magazine for you.  I have never found a recipe I did not like.  I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!

Ingredients

  • 3/4  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 3/4  teaspoon  fennel seeds, crushed
  • 1/2  teaspoon  black pepper, divided
  • 1/4  teaspoon  garlic powder
  • 1/4  teaspoon  dried oregano
  • 4  (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Chicken & Fettuccine

Posted by Nancy on September 17th, 2010

I love food, all food.  My favorites though are Italian and Mexican.  I like my pasta to taste fresh and with the summer vegetables coming in all at once it seems, this is a perfect dish.  The dish has a lightness of flavor.

I will tell you though the red sweet pepper fettuccine was a little hard to find in the grocery store.  I had to go to a specialty shop to purchase it.  If you don’t have a specialty shop near you use regular fettuccine and use red sweet peppers (canned or otherwise) in the dish.  The flavor might be a little different than what I had, but it will be unique and good.

Chicken, Charred Tomatoes & Broccoli Salad

Posted by admin on June 14th, 2010

I have a lot of recipe books that were given to me over the years and I receive a lot of magazines.  One of my favorite is Eating Well Magazine.  I have yet to find a recipe that I didn’t like.

This is a very simple recipe and one that I would advise making well before serving.  It can sit in your refrigerator for up to two days, but no longer.   It is great for those leftover chicken pieces, although the recipe calls for only white meat, I tried it with dark and light and it tasted great.  I had some tomatoes that were just at the point of maybe not using, too ripe for salads.  I used those and again tasted really great.

Chicken-Broccoli Casserole

Posted by Nancy on January 5th, 2010

We eat a lot of chicken in this house; at least 3-4 times a week.  So coming up with different ways to cook it, different tastes, and recipes for the leftovers is always a challenge.

I have been making this for a number of years and it is always gone, no leftovers.  I vary the recipe depending on what spices, how much chicken I have left over, vegetables and cheeses.

I have never made the same recipe twice, so it is new everytime!

Lemon Chicken with Olives and Ricotta

Posted by Nancy on December 4th, 2009

Tired of Turkey yet?  Still have a little left over?  I know I am and I do!   Truefully if I don’t see another turkey for a couple of months that will be all right with me.

So on that theme I had to come up with some recipes for the leftover turkey.  There are tons of them out there, but this one I have made before with chicken, so why not use the turkey instead?   The guys in my house (of which there are many) loved it.  I hope you will too!
