  1. I finally fixed a recipe which I had clipped out of the newspaper quite a
    while back. It worked out very well - even my picky husband gave it a
    thumbs-up. As you can see, I made a few adjustments, plus served it on
    rice - "picky husband" only wants pasta if spaghetti sauce is on top. ( I
    have my own secret stash of pasta recipes and hope he goes out of town for a
    couple of days, so I can cook some of my favorites.) :-))

    CHICKEN CACCIATORE

    Recipe By :Janet Terchilla
    Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Main Dishes Poultry

    1/2 cup olive oil
    4 skinless boneless chicken
    breasts ( cut in pieces)
    1 tablespoon garlic -- minced
    1 large red or Vidalia onion -- sliced
    2 large red peppers -- 1/2" slices
    2 large celery stalks -- 1/4" slices
    1/2 pound mushrooms -- sliced
    2 28-oz. cans crushed tomatoes
    1 28-oz. can diced tomatoes
    2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1 cup white vinegar

    In a large Dutch oven, warm oil on low/medium heat. Add chicken pieces,
    cooking 6 to 8 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients except vinegar.

    Cook on low heat, covered, stirring every 20 or 30 minutes, for 2-1/2 to 3
    hours. In last 30 minutes, add vinegar.

    Serve over rice or pasta.

    NOTES : I halved the recipe.
    I used 1 can stewed tomatoes in place of the crushed tomatoes and added
    1 12-oz. can V-8 during the cooking time, since the mixture thickens and
    tends
    to stick.
    (P.S.: I forgot to add the vinegar!).

    Thanks, Monsur Libido - sounds good! How hot are chipotle peppers? I don't
    like food too hot and spicy.

    Well Chipotles are made from roasted jalenpenos. So a little hot...say a a
    fair bit less than hot wings for heat...from my recipe.

    Sounds good, Debbie - I love curries. Would you be willing to share your
    chicken curry recipe?

    Well, I just said I love curries (which I do). Sounds a little
    contradictory for me to say that I find peppers are too hot many times,
    doesn't it! (I remember my son introducing me to hot chiles when I visited
    him in New Mexico. Wow.)

    The sauce they come in will win you over...a kinda tomato-ey, garlic-ey
    cumin-ey sauce with vinegar. The rest of the can won't go to waste...mix it
    with a jam of your choice some nutmeg and lime zest...a very good chicken
    or pork glaze/dip.

  11. Dinner was simple, but tasted good.
    A cheese omelet, organic beet greens and roasted beets, sliced onions in
    lime juice, Ecce Panis multi-grain bread & fig/marmelade jam, glass of wine.

    Lunch was chicken/apple sausage, lentils w/onions & carrots & curry powder
    made in crockpot, basmati rice, roasted red peppers, yogurt and apple
    (gingergold).

    Breakfast was keefir, steel-cut oats, berries and honey (DH had maple
    syrup.)

    I was bagging up beef sausages, ready for the barbecue season, when I
    thought, I'd like good old comfort food for tea. So that's what we had

    Beef sausages in onions

    brown sausages in a pan then set aside
    fry up a large amount of sliced onions till caramalised. Return
    sausages to the pan.
    Mix a packet of dry onion soup with about a cup of water and add to
    above
    Simmer till sausages are properly cooked

    Serve with mashed potatoes and veges
    (I hate mashed potatoes so I cooked rice)

    Interesting you should say that. Some time back I mentioned that my husband
    had come home with a bottle of raspberry-chipotle sauce and I had a lot of
    suggestions from r.f.c. on how to use it. It's not too hot - I like it.
    Thanks!

  14. Last night: marinated chicken breasts in some soy sauce, rice wine
    vinegar, and vegetable oil. Grilled them on the George Foreman and
    ate them along side some baked potatoes and brussel sprouts. I made
    two extra breasts for my lunch (chicken salad) and tonight's dinner.

    Tonight: chopped up the chicken breast and heated it up with a bag of
    frozen stir-fry veggies. I seasoned it all with some soy sauce and
    sesame oil. We'll have it on top of brown rice.

    Tara, I had the last of your lentil recipe for breakfast this morning. Did
    your boys like it?

    Tonight's dinner was a 50's style can-opener dinner. Two cans of good
    Albacore, loads of fresh Italian Parsley, Onion and Carrot and celery &
    dried dill weed; layered Razonni's cooked dried egg noodles; instead of
    making bechamel, I opened a can of evap milk, shook a little flour over the
    layers and poured on the evap milk, tops with a very few frozen kernels of
    corn and butter. Was so-so. Left over roasted beets and salad. My brioche
    was cool enough to cut, so had a slice after eating with raw milk Gruyere
    cheese and a glass of red wine.
    It's 11:30 pm and I'm still stuffed -- as I should be.

    Max was napping and didn't get to try it. Whit would beg for a bite
    (wide open baby bird mouth) and then spit it out, beg for more, then
    spit it out. I think the curry was too spicy for his taste!

    I forgot to ask how you liked it! What did you think? It is simple
    and earthy tasting -- quite filling.

    Yes, simple and good. I haven't met a lentil (recipe) I didn't love. Nor
    the mighty bean! Beans and rice, beans and rice -- I could live on them if
    my DH wasn't such a carnivore.

    Oh, I love beans, too -- red beans and rice, pinto beans and
    cornbread, frijoles with rice and/or tortillas. It's interesting how
    many cultures have some form of legume and grain as a staple dish.
