The Angry Chefs Garlicky Lemon-Pepper Chicken. A lot of folks have asked me for this recipe. It’s one of The Angry Chef’s signature dishes, and I was lucky to pry it away from him. This recipe is a dream come true for garlic lovers like me. It’s tart and garlick-y and oh-so-fragrant in all the right ways. (As a bonus, you’ll surely be safe from vampires for the evening.) The instructions below are one part recipe, one part technique. Basically, the chicken breast is dredged in flour, then shallow fried in a bath of bubbling golden olive oil. Lemon juice, powdered peel, and fresh zest provide a triple dose of bright citrus flavor right near the end of cooking. Enjoy this chicken with any sort of hot, spicy rice (I have yet to get the recipe for the Demon Saffron Rice that he made around Halloween), some warm, buttered noodles, or grilled asparagus sprinkled with Parmesan.

Chipotle Salsa with Pan-Roasted Tomatillos - Cook Like a Champion. There are some recipes that, for whatever reason, never make it to the blog. When it’s one that Eric and I both love, I try really hard to remedy whatever it is that’s preventing me from posting it. In the case of this salsa, the problem was lack of a photo.

When we made it a few weeks ago, I was determined to get a photo. I couldn’t keep this recipe from you anymore because it’s pretty much the best salsa I’ve ever had.

Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites. 610K+Add bacon to anything and it will fly off the table. That’s what a caterer once told me and I believe it. Certainly applies here. Whether you’re planning a cookout this weekend or cooking indoors (rain predicted here in Texas), grill up a few of these sizzling treats for a quick appetizer or serve as an entree.

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than with a big plate of these spicy and cheesy, smoky and crispy chicken nuggets.

Simple recipe for making homemade marinara sauce from scratch using fresh... There are as many recipes for tomato pasta sauce as there are Italian grandmothers.

My Sicilian grandmother used to make her sauce every year from the tomatoes in her garden. Much of the time the sauce had meat in it but I don’t think it was ever exactly the same twice. A child of the depression, my grandmother would throw into the pot whatever she had on hand; scraps of a roast, pieces of cooked pork, sausages, rinds of parmesan cheese.

Crustless Quiche in a Cup by Rebecca Jun 3rd, 2010 // Breakfast, Most Popular, Picky Busters, Recipes I have found another way to combat pickiness. It’s all about size.

It was also rather convenient to be able to tell friends and family members, “Look it up. It’s on the blog” when asked for a recipe. Two years and three hundred and thirty-five recipes later, I think it’s safe to say that this blogging thing is now more than a hobby. As I was planning this post, I looked back on the post I wrote at the end of year one.
