Dinners in January, 2016

I am the lamb lover around here.Leg of lamb,grilled .. Roasted .. chops.. I bought a rack before christmas have it in the freezer.I may soon roast it..


Love love lamb...

Got these at Costco. They have great lamb..

Informative photo journal, Barb. I'm sure Imelda can gleen good info from your experience cooking lamb. I do think you are about the only one who cooks it around here.

I was rearranging the freezer and came across a package of Johnsonville beef brats....knew immediately I was going to make haluski for supper. Lawdy, I'm stuffed. But it was so good!



Browned/rendered sliced beef brats, sliced onion, shredded carrots, sliced cabbage & cooked kluski noodles.....

Gosh that looks good..

Fixin a plate of nachos later..i am so lazy after watching cooking shows all day on PBS lol.

you would never know from looking at it, but it was loaded with veg....used half a giant head of cabbage. It just cooks down and gets translucent so you don't see it's there.

turned into a taco salad..

I much prefer taco salad to nachos.....my 'cheese alergy' and all.....

Looks like a good supper!

Yesterday I watched an episode on America's Test Kitchen (Norm's favorite PBS program with his buddy, Chris Kimble.....). It really interested me so I'm going to try to replicate the recipe for our supper tonight.

It's a recipe for Crispy-Skinned Chicken Breast with a Vinegar-Hot Pepper Pan Sauce. I'm going to see if I can get my chicken breast skin rendered and crispy without having the chicken dry out like cardboard. The sauce is made with canned hot cherry peppers, not something I've tried before. I happened to see them at Fresh Market so I picked up a jar.

If you're interested, here's a link to the video clip of the program. The original recipe was a restaurant meal and used a de-boned half chicken. ATK switched out the half chicken for skin-on chicken breasts, lightly pounded. We'll see if Mr. Amazing and I like the recipe tonight......

Cool thanks . That was not on mine yesterday .
However I watched our man Jacque !!!!

Yeah, I caught one of the old Julia episodes (REAL old ~ original series) and one of Jacques....Love those shows even though I've seen so many of them multiple times.

These are real from his new show , Heart and Soul .

Auto correct , hate it . "Real" don't know where that came from????

Funny how he keeps his accent and I love it . Yet Icannot stand Wolfgang he seems so fake

do you have your 'famous' Greek sauce to go on them?

Last time I had them with the sauce I added some chopped TP Sweet Hots.....man, that was good!

Such a NO NO for me but I am doing it..Lobster mac and cheese..

a person I know is a avid shopper on HSN..She buys so much crap from there.Most of his Made in China.

She can have  it lol...

No sauce! ....Grrrr! All used up, but now ya got me thinking to make a batch! Haaaaa!!!

OOooooo! The TP sweet hots, we use with everything now. We are hooked on them.

Our favorite was egg salad sandwiches, with bread and butter pickle chops on the side. Although, since Tony Packos Sweet Hots came into our home, we prefer the TP's instead of the bread and butter chips with egg salad sandwiches!

I can't think of any chef with a product line that is any good. If there is one, let me know.

I found the crispy chicken breasts recipe at the Houston Chronicle. The recipe is blanked out to me at the ATK site. They want money to show it to me. I copied and saved it in my 'recipes to try' file.
