Asparagus with a kick

After I started the No Name Chicken(the name is still to come) I had to run a few quick errands and I asked Spencer to take care of the asparagus and rice.  I gave him free reign over the asparagus; and I told him he could do whatever he pleased.  The end result was so awesome [...]

I didn’t know what to make last night so…

Last night was one of those nights I could have stared at cookbooks and recipes for hours and still not found a thing to cook.  After finally getting fed up with looking and trying to find something I went into the kitchen and started browsing to see what all I had.  After looking around for [...]

Does “Blue Chicken” = Sad Chicken?

Well, sometimes it might but in this case it doesn’t!  I was really in the mood for some hotwings or something along those lines but I wasn’t really in the mood to go out to eat.  I already had some chicken breast thawed out, so I started brainstorming with what all I could do with [...]

Cake on Miami Beach???

Well…not really but that’s probably one of the only things that could make the cake even better!  For my birthday my boss made me a cake called “Miami Beach Birthday Cake”.  I have to say that is one of the best cakes I’ve ever had and my husband loved it too.  So for his birthday [...]

There is no such thing as too much chocolate!

I am a huge fan of chocolate; the more chocolate the better in my opinion.  I was over at a friends house the other day when she showed me these brownies she had made.  Right when she pulled the cover off of the container my jaw dropped; they were the thickest brownies I think I’ve [...]

Simple Fried Rice

So the theme of the food we had last night was Chinese/Japanese inspired.  We had chicken vegetable stir fry, which is in the previous post, and fried rice.  Like I mentioned earlier, this is my first time cooking this type of food.  Everything was more or less experimental for me last night, for the first attempt I [...]

Spicy and Sweet Chicken Vegetable Stir Fry

I have been in the mood for Chinese/Japanese food for quite some time now, but everytime I’ve gone into the kitchen to make something it hasn’t been anything Chinese/Japanese inspired.  I don’t know why though, the best way to quench a craving is to have what you are craving!  Yesterday while I had some down [...]

The Hundreds

I got this from food alla puttanesca- KMay’s blog.  I’ve seen it on a few others but didn’t really take the time to read it until today.  I know it’s been around a while, but better late than never. 
I’m a little behind the ball on this but thought it would be interesting to do both [...]

Thick and Creamy Potato Soup

This weather is killing me; a couple of days of fall like weather (soup weather) and then it goes back to summer time weather.  It seems like about the time I get my mind made up to start making fall type foods the weather goes back to cool, light food weather or grilling weather.  As [...]

BBQ Chicken Pizza

 
 
I was craving a different type of pizza one night, so after preparing my drunken pizza dough I started thinking about toppings.  I was in the mood for something with chicken and you know with chicken there are endless possibilities; so I started listing all the options in my head and what all kind of chicken pizza I have had before [...]
