General Tso’s Chicken Recipe. Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken | Emily Loves Food. I’ll admit, I’m a bit wary of slow cookers.

Garlicky and delicious! Hello, hello – welcome to a new week! We had a wonderful weekend chock-full of family time. I’m so sad it’s over! My brother and sister-in-law served as his sponsors, and we couldn’t have been happier to have them up there with us (sorry to cut your head off, bro – shrink a few inches, why don’t ya’!)

This is a story about closets, and how messy they can get when you spend a year caring for a baby and put things away so haphazardly that one day, they won’t close at all and you beg your in-laws to watch the baby for a few hours so you can go to a barget some sleepclean out your closets.

It’s also a story about butchering, and I do mean in the wow-you-really-butchered that sense, in that one of my goals in the kitchen has been to learn how to take apart a whole chicken.

Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Sage, Bacon, and Mustard Cream Sauce. You can never have too many recipes for chicken, am I right? It seems like despite the many variations of chicken I’ve done, I’m always looking for more. So here’s another one for you to try out, if you too, are looking for more ways to cook chicken. Here are the merits of this dish, plain and simple: Since chicken cutlets are so thin, they always cook lightning fast and are great for a quick dinner (or lunch).Most of the ingredients here are staples that you can always have on hand. Mustard, Brandy, chicken stock, cream, bacon…okay, well at least, there are all the things I always have on hand. Let me show you how to make it: You can either buy chicken cutlets from the store (easier, but more expensive), or you can take a chicken breast and cut it in half yourself.

And keep moving the knife back and forth until you split the chicken breast into two: It’s important to keep the knife flat because you don’t want to cut upward into your hand.

Cauliflower & Chicken Sausage Casserole Best Healthy Casseroles Contest. I often feel that vegetables get short shrift in casseroles. Either they're drenched in cream, or thrown in as an afterthought to the pasta, the rice, and the cheese.

Not so in this dish from Fiona in Texas, the final winner in our Best Healthy Casseroles recipe contest. In this dish, cauliflower is the star. And it is delicious. Why I chose Fiona's casserole I am always trying to think of ways to use vegetables instead of starch or dairy in casseroles. Not necessarily for reasons of health — I like a good cheesy pasta casserole too!
