Really tasty moist chicken! I like how you get a lot of flavor for not much effort. The first time, I just made the original recipe. The next time I made this, I tried doubling the spices as suggested by some of the comments and really liked that. The doubled spices formed a flavorful crust on the chicken (though the spices blackened considerably ( Read more... )

One night, I scanned the signs as I drove north on Route 1, heading out of Boston. I wanted to grab some take-out but nothing appealed to me. Then I saw the word 'wings' and decided to try that. Once I got inside, the menu was primarily pizza but I did see one item mentioning their "signature fall-off-the-bone wings" and ordered that to go. Wow! I ( Read more... )

I found this recipe in a book I picked up at a cookbook exchange that I went to with a friend. Cool idea. For a $5 donation/fee, you got to drop off any old cookbooks you didn't want anymore and walk out with as many of the books and magazines that you wanted. The leftover books were donated to a non-profit used bookstore More Than Words in ( Read more... )

Those of you with access with Fairway Market in NYC, go indulge yourself with a bottle of their house-branded balsamic vinegar. Tastes like the balsamics that have been aged for 12 years but at a much more affordable price. When we got home, our previous bottle of balsamic vinegar tasted like lighter fluid in comparison to Fairway's balsamic. Good ( Read more... )

This is getting to be a long post. I had a bunch of photos I wanted to post but I split it up so that Part 1 has the milder photos and this post gets more into the details of the blood and guts. So...this one's not for the squeamish.

A couple weeks ago, I showed up at a farm at 6:30am for a chance to kill some chickens ( Read more... )

Trying to catch up on posting recipes. I'm posting this one since it was easy to make, healthy and low-fat, and made for a colorful photo. I didn't have any chutney so I had found it a little on the bland side. Maybe I needed to add some salt? Not sure. But if any of you doctor it up so it becomes one of your favorite recipes, do let me know. I've ( Read more... )

One of my former roommates made a version of African Chicken Peanut Soup and let me try some. I didn't think I would like something called peanut soup but I thought it was a very comforting soup on a cold winter's day. My boyfriend Brian agreed that it's a satisfying soup although he doesn't like the particular flavor combination, partly because he ( Read more... )

I made this one up! Back in February, my boyfriend came home from work earlier than expected. So I hurriedly whipped up this chicken dish. Tasted amazing to both of us though I tend to like any dish that involves lots of artichokes. I tried making it again a few weeks later but I must've forgotten how to make it because it didn't taste the same. ( Read more... )

Here's another recipe from my friends list. angel_vixen posted this amazing recipe that has been met with rave reviews both times I've made this now. I modified it slightly to use less honey (because I'm running low on honey and my boyfriend doesn't like things to taste too sweet). She originally made it with boneless chicken breasts, but I've made it with ( Read more... )
