This place is dusty!
Figured I might as well dust off this journal for some recipe time.
First off: second attempt at Japanese beef curry: Ultimate Fail.
Couldn't even dredge up effort to eat it :/ beef over browned, entire layer of onions burned to charcoal on bottom and sides of pan, used mom's lunch apple by mistake.
.....At least my parents liked it well enough.
Secondly: New version of Apple Juice Chicken: Brilliant Success!
(My grandmother, Tootsie, had a recipe for apple juice chicken. It was good, but it took forever to make, what with the rinsing, flouring, and browning of the chicken. And then, it didn't always taste very much of apple juice.)
So new variation of the recipe:
In order to serve the chicken and pasta together, start boiling the water about 10-15 minutes into your chicken cooking time, as noodles usually take about 10 minutes to cook.
Homegrown and homemade pesto is the best!

So new variation of the recipe:
- Defrost as many chicken tenderloins as you (and yours) can eat. (I chose 4)
- About 3-4 hours before you plan to start cooking, marinate the tenderloins in apple juice. (I used a large zip-lock bag and poured in enough Motts to completely submerge the chicken)
- When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- In an oven safe bakeware (ceramic or glass), spread out a layer of apple sauce, lay the tenderloins on top and cover with another layer of apple sauce (I used Motts again in hopes of consistent taste)
- Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes (it may take less or more time depending on your oven)
- Then serve and enjoy!
