Stir-fry is a dinner I rely on whenever I want to make something which doesn’t demand much forethought, time or planning. Provided there is some chicken, beef or pork available (it’s even easier to dice or slice while still partially frozen), I can usually count on some kind of fresh veggies in the fridge or freezer…

Chicken Parmesan
A few days ago while preparing an old standby, Chicken Parmesan, I realized I had never posted this familiar entree on my blog. I have been making it for years, and haven’t found anyone who doesn’t love this dish. The crisp cutlets are not difficult to prepare as long as you have all your ingredients organized…
Chicken and Mushrooms with Forty Cloves of Garlic
What could be better than the familiar Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic which I love? How about Chicken and Mushrooms with Forty Cloves of Garlic? I added some fresh mushrooms sautéed till golden brown to this already succulent dish found in Ina Garten’s Barefoot in Paris Cookbook. Serve it on a nice mound of homemade mashed…
Parker’s BBQ Fried Chicken
Every now and then I get a real craving for fried chicken. There are plenty of reasons not to make fried chicken. It is high in fat, sodium, and carbs, the cooking process necessitates standing for a lengthy time over a hot, splattering skillet while tending to the chicken, and you are usually left with…
Sweet and Spicy Roast Chicken
This dish which I adapted from Melissa Clark, a New York Times food writer, is perfect for the Jewish New Year holiday dinner, or any dinner actually. But when it comes to serving this delicious chicken dish for the Jewish New Year Melissa says it best……

This past week we have been very busy with a special house guest. Our aunt came to visit us all the way from Reston, Virginia! Before moving to the west coast almost 2 years ago we lived only a half-hour’s drive from our home in Maryland to hers in Virginia, and we saw each other…
Golden Chicken Thighs with Charred-Lemon Salsa Verde
Although I usually prefer white meat when it comes to chicken my last post for a Quick Coq au Vin, and this recipe for these Golden Chicken Thighs with Charred-Lemon Salsa Verde just may make me a convert to dark meat. I found this recipe in the January issue of Food and Wine which features…
Quick Coq au Vin Blanc
The February issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine has a feature on four easy meals that begin on the stove top and end up in the oven. What they all share is that they are cooked in just one heatproof skillet! And who among us is not on board with eliminating extra pots and pans…
Chicken Waldorf Salad
There is nothing better than Thanksgiving left-overs! And we had our share of them this past week. The last of the cranberry sauce and a small container of sliced turkey, stuffing and gravy found a home in my freezer neatly tucked away for some evening in the future when I don’t feel like cooking. Between…
