Darn Good Pasta

I’ve been doing lots of cooking and baking and not so much blogging lately….I’ve been feeling under the weather with a sinus infection, and The Littlest Apple is back to waking up 5 or 6 times a night, which is just dandy.  So I’m doing my best to get caught up during his naptime today.  [...]

Italian Chicken and Vegetable Soup

 This soup is one of the easiest soups I’ve ever thrown together.  It is a Paula Deen recipe (but no butter this time).  My mom “discovered” it, and passed the recipe along to me.  I served it with hot, crusty bread.  It was great!  I don’t have any good pictures this time because I was [...]

Mediterranean Chicken Fettuccine

Whenever I come across a recipe in a magazine, I tear out the page, and place it in a “Recipes To Try” binder, organized by Chicken, Beef, Dessert, Breakfast, and Other.  The categories probably need a little more refining, but that worked at the time I made my binder about 4 years ago.  My Recipes [...]

Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Roll-ups

I really like sun-dried tomatoes and surprisingly, The Picky Apple does too.  I gravitate toward dishes containing sun-dried tomatoes in restaurants, but always forget that I could be cooking with them at home.  When I saw this recipe for Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Roll-ups back in January on Celeste’s blog, Sugar & Spice, I knew I [...]

Chicken and Prosciutto Pasta

Remember the other day when I told you about Paula Deen’s recipe for Savory Baked Chicken, and how you were supposed to save the leftover chicken so you could use it again in another recipe?  Well this is the other recipe.  Hopefully you didn’t eat all of that leftover chicken (good as it was) because [...]

Savory Baked Chicken

Paula Deen is one of my favorite celebrity chefs on The Food Network.  I have several of her cookbooks and have subscribed to her magazine since its inception about 2 years ago.  I always find a handful of recipes to try from each issue of the magazine, and the March/April 2008 issue is no exception.  [...]

Chicken Patties and Brussels Sprouts

This recipe for chicken patties is yet another recipe that I got from one of the Yahoo Groups I belong to. It reminds me of crab cakes, but it is made with chicken instead. Nathan doesn’t care for crab, so I thought I’d try out this recipe. I used seasoned bread crumbs [...]

Four Cheese Chicken Fettuccine

This has just been one of those weeks.  It is cold and rainy outside and I’m not getting any sleep (the Littlest Apple is waking up at LEAST every 2 hours at night, and not napping during the day), so I really wanted some comfort food.  Something not too time consuming to make.  Something cheesy.  [...]
