Scallops and Chick Pea Puree
Luck. You know, I’ve never thought of myself as a lucky person. I mean, I’ve never won any kind of prize. Never won even a small lottery prize, never won anything from Publisher’s clearing house. I don’t care. The day began (for us) with lunch. It was a wonderful day. There was lots of wonderful conversation and wonderful food and we hated it when we had to leave. These scallops came from Brittany, fresh frozen and brought carefully in the van or the trailer (I’m not sure which), still frozen. Since they had been frozen, I had to use them quickly. Who needs Lotto luck, eh? This recipe would make a nice appetizer. This recipe might look familiar to you. Scallops and Chickpea Puree 1 can chick peas 4-5 sage leaves 2 Tablespoons olive oil 4 bay leaves 1 small shallot, chopped fine 1 dried hot pepper 1 Tablespoon tomato paste 1/4 cup white wine or tart apple juice 4 large scallops chopped parsley to serve Heat the chick peas with the sage leaves in a pan. Enough for 4. Notes:
Buffalo Wild Wings Recipes
I’m more of a classic buffalo sauce(Frank’s, butter, and vinegar) man myself, but I had these recipes for my favorite wings at Buffalo Wings Wings, so I thought I would share. Some of these may seem a little labor intensive, but they definitely taste a lot better with fresh ingredients.

Queso Blanco
I don’t think it’s much of a secret that I’m a fan of cheese. Cheese pizza, cheesecake, cheese fries, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, cheese and crackers…the list goes on and on. But melted cheese in particular definitely holds a special place in my heart. This dip takes only minutes to prepare and it is an addicting appetizer, snack, or side dish to your dinner. Better yet, pass on dinner and just munch on this dip. It’s irresistibly good. The heat from the jalapeno is subtle, definitely not too intense. Note: You’ll see that one of the ingredients is white American Cheese. Here’s what you’ll need. Start by dicing an onion. Then seed and devein your jalapeno, the heat is mostly in the seeds and ribs. Remove the seeds from a tomato. Chop the tomato up Ok now it’s time to grate the cheese. Heat oil in a pan and start cooking the onion and jalapeno until tender, about 5 minutes Then pour in the milk Add in the star of your show next- CHEESE! Roughly chop some cilantro. Yield: 2 cups
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. 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. The Angry Chef’s Garlicky Lemon-Pepper Chicken: A note on ingredients This recipe calls for three different types of garlic—garlic salt, fresh elephant garlic, and jarred minced garlic.

Hot Buttered Soft Baked Pretzels
Have you ever waited in one of those really long lines at the mall for a soft pretzel? You know…the ones for Auntie Anne’s, or Wetzel’s Pretzels? You just can’t help it, right? Well try these at home, and you’ll never buy those mall pretzels ever again. Start by making a simple yeasted dough, and shape it into a ball. Let the yeast work its magic and create these gorgeous bubbles. Sometimes I just stare at the dough because it’s sooooo prettyyyyyy… Divide up the dough into pieces, and roll each into a long rope. Shape into pretzels by looping the rope through. Sprinkle each pretzel with coarse sea salt and send them into the oven. Bake until golden and puffed, then brush with butter. Enjoy while they are hot! UPDATE: I have posted a 100% Whole Wheat Version of these pretzels (cinnamon sugar ones!) Click here to check it out.
