General Tso’s Chicken
| August 15, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Make-ahead, MEAT, Recipe |
Partially taken (the batter/frying part, mostly) from The Bitten Word’s General Tso: Takeout vs. Homemade showdown, partially of my own invention, and partially out of laziness (packet of general tso sauce mix I found in the back of the pantry). It’s not that I didn’t want to follow a truly homemade recipe for this…
Chipotle-Lime Grilled Chicken Breasts
| July 2, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT, Recipe |
An easy summer recipe I pulled from Epicurious.com, a nice resource for people who like to browse big collections of recipes when seeking brief moments of escape during long stretches of time spent in front of computers….. Especially those of us who often face the connundrum, “WTF am I going to do with chicken again tonight…”
Pesto Chicken Over Chunky Tomato Sauce
| June 9, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, MEAT, Recipe, Side Dishes |
Sometimes, I don’t have the energy to write. Like when I’m editing rambling opinion essays and need a brain break. Days like those….which may or may not be today….I prefer to think of greener pastures. Like this low-carb, summer-flavored bit of heaven I baked up the other day. Gifted with a bag of frozen garden…
Spinach & Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts
| May 27, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT |
Oh, my lovelies, you want to seriously impress someone? Make this. Oh, and you don’t want something that will take ages, 300 pans, and lots of frustration? Make this. I impressed myself with this one, people. Yeah, I know, I’m so awesome and blah blah blah. The truth is, a lot of times the things…
Chicken Cacciatore
| April 29, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Leftovers, Main Course, MEAT |
This is one of those perfect meals to make when you stare into an empty refrigerator, pore through an empty cupboard, look vainly through a cavernous freezer, and think, GOOD LORD what am I going to make for dinner? Because, friends of mine, you mostly need pantry items for this one. If you’re like me,…
Phyllo Chimichangas
| March 24, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Recipe, snacks |
I found the inspiration for this recipe on a blog called “Eat 80-20.” It’s run by a nutritionist (one who befriended me on Tasty Kitchen) who aims to provide 80% healthy, nutriotionally sound recipies, and 20% just plain good ones. After we “met,” I browsed around her site some and instantly stumbled upon this little…
Asian Meatball Stir-Fry with Brown Rice
| March 15, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, MEAT, Recipe |
The meatball. Had you asked me on the street this morning what I thought about meatballs in general, I probably would have given an answer along the lines of meh. Yet some introspection has given me pause – for someone who claims to feel not strongly about them, I sure make a lot of them. Of…
Glazed Chicken with Soba Noodle Salad
| March 9, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, MEAT, Side Dishes |
Or, how I stopped worrying and learned to accept that, sometimes, I will make a bad recipe. Well, you can’t say it’s not pretty. Perhaps that’s why I was drawn in by Real Simple’s Sweet & Spicy Chicken with Soba Salad recipe. And, truly, it wasn’t that bad. But, I did discover one thing vis-a-vis this…
Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
| March 7, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Main Course, Make-ahead, Recipe, snacks |
What is it about Asian food that is constantly alluring? Be it high-end sushi, take-out Thai noodles, or steam-table Chinese, I am thoroughly addicted to Asian food. It’s what I crave (OK, it’s one of hundreds of foods that I crave with regularity) and I can’t ever get enough (ibid.). Maybe it’s the exotic flavors…
Chicken Waldorf Salad
| February 23, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Salads, Side Dishes |
The ever-present question: what to do with leftover chicken? I had roasted a chicken one wintery Sunday, knowing that, armed with cups and cups of succulent roasted chicken, my weekday dinners would be one step closer to my belly – and one step farther from the delivery menu drawer (for somebody who likes to cook,…
