Oven Barbequed Chicken
…and a product review for Bone Suckin’ Sauce! I love bbq chicken on the grill – especially the bits of crispy skin with sauce, blackened with caramelized sugar from the flames. However some days grilling outdoors just isn’t going to happen, for instance when the cold winter wind is blowing rain. Brrr! Thankfully, pretty-fine barbeque… Continue reading Oven Barbequed Chicken
Chicken with Mushrooms and Grapes
Suddenly it is almost dinner time, and I haven’t the faintest idea of what I’m going to cook. This is an opportunity to take inventory of what is in the refrigerator, then google it and see what you come up with. It is food roulette – there are hardly any ingredients that someone hasn’t thought… Continue reading Chicken with Mushrooms and Grapes
Smoked Turkey Enchiladas with Cranberry Salsa
Leftover turkey. I love it for the first couple of days, then…what to do with it? This recipe for turkey enchiladas is my new favorite way to transform that leftover turkey into something that doesn’t seem like a leftover! Our turkey happened to be smoked, but you could use any cooked turkey or chicken for… Continue reading Smoked Turkey Enchiladas with Cranberry Salsa

Fresh Heirloom Tomato Sauce
Our neighbor, Mike, from across the road is always kind enough to share his bounty of tomatoes with us. It’s nice to have someone who takes pity on those of us with “black thumbs” when it comes to gardening. We have spent untold dollars for a cumulative harvest of 4 or 5 eggplants and 3… Continue reading Fresh Heirloom Tomato Sauce
Big, Bad Beefy Back Ribs
Smoking these gigantic beef ribs is not for the faint of heart – they are big and bad, as the title of this post says! It takes some prep work, starting days ahead if your ribs are in the freezer. Then on cooking day, plan on starting them fairly early because they need 6 to… Continue reading Big, Bad Beefy Back Ribs
Chicken Stuffed with Brie and Walnuts – An Experiment
Back in the 80’s when I lived in Chapel Hill, NC, there was a restaurant called McCarthy’s Grill. They served a stuffed chicken breast with a flavor that haunts me still, and I have absolutely no idea what was actually in it. I remember walnuts, a mustard sauce, perhaps some kind of cheese. This recipe… Continue reading Chicken Stuffed with Brie and Walnuts – An Experiment
Chicken Thighs with Spicy Mustard-Orange Sauce
Adapted from Bon Appetit via Epicurious “Orange Chicken”, as we call this at home, is an old favorite of ours because of the great sauce. It combines the sweet, fresh flavors of orange juice and honey with the spiciness of grainy mustard, and a bit of chipotle pepper thrown in for warmth. A good sauce… Continue reading Chicken Thighs with Spicy Mustard-Orange Sauce
