Handle the Heat » Chicken Scallopine

Last week I posted a recipe for Bacon & Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken which was freakin’ delicious. Today’s Italian-inspired chicken recipe is smothered with creamy mushrooms and served with pasta. Doesn’t get much better than that. I also swapped out traditional linguine for whole-wheat linguine to up the fiber.

Lightened Up Spaghetti Carbonara

I feel like for most of us the words "healthy" and "light" really mean "boring" or "tasteless". http://weelicious.com/2012/10/24/lightened-up-spaghetti-carbonara/
We’re back in the mix, aren’t we. Back from vacation. Back to school. Back rifling through the closet for our cowl neck sweaters.

I am the last person on the internet to join the Cute Overload train; I mean, I get it, it’s cute . I love cute, you love cute, cute makes the birds sing and the sun shine and the world go round and tra-la-la. I get it . But man, oh man. Sometime in the last two weeks it hit me like a ten ton truck and people, the cute is killing me . http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2006/11/shes-finally-lost-it/
http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2006/07/beans-beans-theyre-good-for-your-heart/ Thursday, July 20, 2006 I think that the basic instinct that gets us in the kitchen “after all those messy sustenance issues have been attended to” is a deep-seated desire to make something taste a little better than the way we’ve come to accept it. It’s why there are ten thousand crab cake recipes and a line of followers behind each, and it’s why everyone has an idea carved into their base philosophy of the way corn bread is supposed to taste (and most of it fails to please because it’s not as savory/rich, sweet/cakey or textural/salty as they believe pone was intended to be). I’d also argue that this is why few bother to make their own ketchup, as Heinz figured out a long time ago what most of us expect of it and why reinvent the wheel? I’m pretty sure it’s why this summer I’ve become obsessed bordering-on-frenzied with figuring out how to make all those American BBQ classics unboring.

Potato Rings with Homemade Buttermilk Ranch

http://spoonforkbacon.com/2011/09/potato-rings-with-homemade-buttermilk-ranch/ If french fries and onion rings ever got married and had a baby, I think it would be something like this…a potato ring. You have a light and crispy outer coating with a soft potato and caramelized onion center…why? Because we can I guess, who knows…but it’s kind of fun, right?! My boyfriend and his friends have this thing where every super bowl they have a “Deep-Fry Fest” where, well they deep fry everything; so if you’re anything like my boyfriend you now have another “Deep Fry Fest” recipe to use! Two things I can’t stress enough is: 1) the importance of having the potatoes completely coated; no holes please, or the mashed potatoes will pour out of the holes once they hit the oil. 2) the importance of the rings being frozen solid before entering the oil…it just helps with the frying, that’s all.

Moist Chocolate Cake

Monday, March 28, 2011 There’s something to be said for a cake that you can whip up at 9 o’clock on a Friday night, after a serious doozy of a week, when you need some baking therapy that requires little to no brain power. By the time this past weekend hit, I think anything requiring technique or poise in the kitchen would have had induced some kind of cerebral short circuiting – I imagine there would have been sparks, probably some twitching and likely even drool. Okay fine, so there might have been drool anyway. Actually, when the cake emerged, there was probably drooling and clapping. I tell you that because I trust you won’t judge me.

Handle the Heat » Chicken Cordon Bleu

Don’t you just love it when someone is impressed by something you did, mostly because they had no clue how easy it really was? There’s a secret satisfaction to accomplishing something with only a small amount of work without anyone realizing. I often feel like cooking and baking can be like a magic trick.
