Homemade Chicken Nuggets. I have been meaning to make these chicken nuggets for quite a while. I’ve seen this recipe in several places around the net, so not sure who the genius was behind this wonderful McDonald’s copycat, but these chicken nuggets are a new favorite. The best part is knowing exactly what’s in these little chicken goodies and knowing there aren’t any preservatives or mystery ingredients either. To give you an idea of how these taste, my husband came in and grabbed one off the plate. After his first bite he made the “mmmm” sound and then exclaimed: “Wow! These are REALLY good!” With that, he piled some into a bowl and left me standing in the kitchen smiling.

These nuggets don’t have the exact same consistency as McDonald’s, they seem a little denser, or maybe it’s more compact. First you’re going to cut some boneless chicken breasts into cubes, then run them through the food processor. Here’s what it looks like when it’s done.

I'm kicking off the new year with these fantastic black pepper and lime oven fries. It is a recipe and flavor combination) inspired by a recent trip to New Zealand.

But before we get too far into the food side of things I want to talk a bit about resolutions. Between marathon-length international flights and media-free evenings in a camper van I've had ample time to think about resolutions in the days leading up to the new year. The funny thing is, my resolutions don't seem to change drastically from year to year. A couple years back I wrote, "I look forward to 2005 being a year where; I see more of the world I live in through travel and photography, I spend more time with my sister, I make an effort to collaborate on projects with interesting, innovative individuals. " Thinking about this year, all of those resolutions still resonate. I'd like to focus my travel on experiencing more of the great cities of the world.

Happy New Year everyone. Preheat oven to 375, oven racks in the middle. The Best Macaroni and Cheese Recipe Ever. I can say this is the best macaroni and cheese recipe ever because it's not really my recipe. I tweaked it a tiny bit - basically made it even more fattening - but otherwise, it's someone else's. It's from someone named Bev, who posted her recipe on Recipezaar and to whom I am eternally grateful. See, macaroni and cheese is pretty much my all-time favorite food. Always has been. One of my first-ever memories is of sitting down in front of the TV with a bowl full of macaroni and cheese and watching Emergency! I should probably stop there.

Adapted from the Bev's Macaroni and Cheese recipe on Recipezaar Serves 5 - 6 Ingredients 8 oz. to 10 oz. macaroni or other pasta (like conchiglie!) Instructions. Roadside Diner Cheeseburger Quiche. My oldest son saw this in a magazine and instantly proclaimed he wanted it for dinner. I was rather surprised as most kids, including my own, don’t like food that is touching or mixed up. In other words, casseroles are usually out. But when my kids see something they want me to make, I usually oblige. However, I can’t even begin to imagine what the calorie count is here. Actually, I don’t even care. I have to admit this quiche is pretty cool, it does taste exactly like a cheeseburger.

Your first bite will surprise you as your mind is seeing quiche but you are tasting burger. If you happen to have a man who will not eat quiche, well, I think he’ll be happy with this one.
