Homemade Chicken Nuggets
These homemade chicken nuggets had the right texture, flavor and consistency of a standard McDonald’s Chicken McNugget. However, it still tasted leaner (healthier) probably because I trimmed all the fat off the chicken pieces. Scroll to the end of this post for the printable recipe. I used a mixture of chicken breast meat and thigh meat, hoping the thigh meat would add some extra richness, flavor and moistness after frying. I remember back in the old days, McDonald’s used to only use dark meat, that’s when I liked them the most. You can use all dark meat if you wish, if you do, let me know how they turn out.

Better Than Takeout Orange Chicken
Yesterday as I stood in the kitchen trying to figure out what to make for dinner I wondered to myself, how do those people do it on those shows where they are given random ingredients and are suppose come up with something genius. I think I stood there for a solid 20 minutes looking in the cupboards and staring into the freezer hoping that I would be struck by some ingenious idea. Then I saw the oranges, and it hit me “O-raang Shh-ikun”….that is orange chicken if you can’t understand the accent. I love orange chicken, and I almost always order # 14 Orange Chicken when we order Chinese take out and I wondered to myself if I could make it better at home. This recipe most definitely delivered! Ha ha Chinese food…delivered….get it?

Homemade Tater Tots
I’ve had a nagging idea in the back of my mind for awhile now about making homemade tots. I’ve only written about the frozen variety once before when I wrote about one of Betsy’s favorite meals: Dogs and Tots. I think that this meal may be part of the reason she decided it would be cool to spend her life with me… What’s not to like about tots?

Low and Slow Oven-Roasted Pulled Pork
We’re eating classic bbq pulled pork sandwiches dressed with coleslaw, hot sauce and barbecue sauce and served on a freshly made kaiser roll. Happy New Year! As 2009 rolled to a close we decided that rather than staying up late and ringing in the new year we would wake up early and head over to our friends Nicole and Justin’s house for a day long celebration of watching two back-to-back bowl games followed by some serious rocking out (to Rock Band of course).
Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries
Call me easily amused, but these little torch-topped cupcakes delight me. Besides being a cute novelty item for a party, I think they would add a little drama to the end of a romantic meal. I've been looking for something different to serve for Valentine's dessert, and this is definitely different.
