Chicken with Olives and Cherry Tomatoes

I know, I know it has been a while but we were in Chicago for the holidays.
We had a wonderful, very white Christmas with family.

Once we arrived back home we were in need of a trip to the market for food
because of refrigerator was empty but we are back on track now!

Chicken with Olives and Cherry Tomatoes
recipe from Real Simple
Ingredients
1 cup long-grain rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thirds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 cup large pimiento-stuffed olives, quartered
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
3/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Directions
Cook the rice according to the package directions.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly soft, 5 minutes. Add the olives, garlic, and tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
Return the chicken to the skillet, add the wine, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Divide the chicken among individual plates and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve with the rice.






This is a great dish. The chicken turns out very tender and the tomatoes add such a nice flavor. As you can see, it also a very pretty dish.

Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies

Tis the season for .............cookies.
If you like Chocolate Cordials ~ you know the kind where you bite into the hard chocolate coating and you get a taste of chocolate, sweet cherry syrup and a little bit of cherry ~ then you will like these cookies!

I brought these Chocolate Covered Covered Cherry Cookies to a Cookie Exchange this weekend. They are a little bit of work because of the different steps but they are very good.






Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained, reserve juice
1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and soda, blending well; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat together butter or margarine and sugar on low speed until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture; beat until smooth and well blended. With hands, shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on ungreased baking sheet. Press down center of dough with thumb. Drain Maraschino cherries well, reserving juice. Place a cherry in the center indention of each cookie.

Bake cookies at 350 for 10 minutes or until done. As soon as they came out of the oven I gently pressed the cherry into the cookie.

In small saucepan combine chocolate pieces and sweetened condensed milk; heat over low heat until chocolate is melted. Stir in 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of the reserved cherry juice. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the topping over each cherry, spreading to cover cherry. If frosting seems too thick, thin with a little more cherry juice.

Panama

I know it has been some time since my last post and I have no photos of
Thanksgiving food but there is a very good reason for that.
My husband and I went to Panama for Thanksgiving.

The best way I can describe our week in Panama is by saying that the whole
trip was more like an adventure than a vacation. For example, the day we
left Atlanta to begin our trip, what should have been about a 4 to 4 1/2 hour
journey turned into a 10 hour journey that included our plane being turned around and eventually after landing in Panama,renting a car which came with a few technical difficulties, and then a police escort to the hotel at around 3:30 am with sirens going and driving about 35 miles an hour the whole way. That was just our first days so please trust me when I say our trip was quite an adventure.

With that said I did capture some great photos of the beauty of Panama.

The view from our balcony at the first hotel: Playa Bonita



Beautiful Flowers Everywhere:











View from our hotel at Gamboa


The Monkeys we saw on our tour to Monkey Island ~ they got a little closer than what I expected because one of the ladies on our boat (who did not follow the rules) had about 3 bunches of bananas in her bag and was throwing them to the monkeys.









The Birds - which is one of the main reasons we went to Panama. I don't normally try to take pictures but for some of these birds we were just so close to them that I had too!











There are many more stories and photos but that is all I have for now since this is a food blog. :)

Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

A friend at work was talking about how she made
the Cheddar Cheese Biscuits from Red Lobster.
The rumor is these are some GREAT biscuits!
She spoke so highly of them that
I decided to give them a try this weekend
to go with our chili cook-off party.


Cheddar Cheese Biscuits:

Ingredients:
2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix

¾ cup cold whole milk

4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese


Bush on Top:
2 tablespoons butter, melted

¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes

½ teaspoon garlic powder

pinch salt


Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

2. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and ¼ teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.

3. Drop approximately ¼-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop.

4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

5. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter is a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in ½ teaspoon garlic powder and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. Makes one dozen biscuits.



I am sad to say I did not get one at the party so your going to have to give them a try to find out if the rumor is true.

Skillet Meals



Do you know the feeling when it is really time to go grocery shopping
but you just don't have the time or energy to go to the store ~
you open the refrigerator, look inside and think~ what in the
world am I going to make to eat?

Well, that is where I am at right now. I really don't want to
shop until tomorrow but there isn't much of anything in the fridge.

Here is what I came up with for lunch.

Corn Tortillas toasted and placed in a skillet.
Black beans added on top of the tortillas.
Cheddar cheese sprinkled on top of that.
A few slices of tomato.
Then I cracked a few eggs and added them to the skillet.
I sprinkled cilantro over the top and then baked this
in the oven for about 15 - 20 minutes.

I added a little green salsa and a little more cheese to the top.


Here is lunch in a skillet:

Salmon with Lentils and a Mustard- Herb Butter Sauce

I don't cook with lentils very often but after reading about them I think I am going to have to add them to my repitoire more often. Did you know that lentils are low calorie, low in fat, low in cholesterol and inexpensive? WOW! that is one healthy, little vegetable that should show up on our dinner plates more often. To help you with that here is a great recipe that includes lentils.

Salmon with Lentils and a Mustard-Herb Butter Sauce

For mustard-herb butter
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 teaspoon chopped tarragon
2 teaspoons grainy mustard
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

For lentils
1 cup French green lentils
4 cups water
2 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 to 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For salmon
4 (6-ounce) pieces skinless salmon fillet
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

I thought this recipe was excellent. I did add a little extra lemon juice but other than that I loved it!



Salmon with Lentils

Amicalola Falls

This weekend my husband and I made a trip to Amicalola Falls. It is the right time, in GA, to head to the mountains to see the changing of the leaves in all those glorious Fall colors. Amicalola State Park is also know for its beautiful waterfall. If your willing to hike up a few hundred stairs you will get a look at one of the tallest, cascading waterfalls east of the Mississippi.



The park offers many fun activities for both adults and children such as boating, fishing, hiking and camping.

Right near the park is Burt's Farm ~ one of the largest Pumpkin Farms~ I have ever seen. The pumpkins range is size from 1 pound to 150 pounds! You can go on a hayride, sit apple cider and eat fresh pumpkin bread. It is quite an experience.




Check out Dawsonville, Georgia this Fall!

Shrimp and Pine Nut Spaghetti

I am a huge fan of pine nuts! They are a great addition to so many dishes. I love to put them on the top of a nice salad. They are excellent in pesto. They can be added to so many side dishes like brussel sprouts or asparagus. This time pine nuts were added to pasta making this dish something special.

Baked Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas

Baked Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas ~ a tortilla stuffed with chicken, corn and other good stuff ~ then covered in sauce and baked with cheese on top is what I was craving for dinner. There are so many recipes for enchiladas that you can probably make a different kind each night for dinner for a year. :)

Here is the recipe I decided to use and I have to say that the enchiladas were excellent.


Baked Chicken and Cheese Enchilladas
Ingredients
• 4 oz. cream cheese , softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 can of refried beans
• 2 cups prepared salsa
• 2 cups grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 small jar of taco sauce or enchilada sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• Salt and pepper
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced
• 12 to 14 soft round 6 to 8-inch flour or corn tortillas
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a medium bowl cream together the cream cheese and the sour cream. Stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa. Stir in 1 cup of the grated cheese. In a second bowl toss together the chicken, the corn, refried beans, cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper, and 1/2 of the scallions. Add the chicken mixture to the cheese mixture and stir to combine.
In a baking dish spread a 1/2 cup of the salsa over the bottom. Place about a 1/3 cup of the filling on a corn tortilla, roll up and transfer to the baking dish with the seam side down. Repeat process for remaining tortillas. Pour remaining salsa and enchilada sauce over enchiladas, spreading to coat all of them. Sprinkle remaining grated cheese over the top. Enchiladas may be prepared up to this point 12 hours in advance. Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Muy Bueno!

Chicken and Spinach Soup

When I read this recipe I was very pleased with the combination of flavors: chicken, pesto and spinach. My basil plant that is outside my front door is still producing some good basil and so I was happy to use a bunch of leaves to make pesto.

Chicken and Spinach Soup with Pesto by Eating Well
Ingredients
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 cup carrot or diced red bell pepper
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 8 ounces), cut into quarters
1 large clove garlic, minced
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram
6 ounces baby spinach, coarsely chopped
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans or great northern beans, rinsed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup plain or herbed multigrain croutons for garnish (optional)



Preparation
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add carrot (or bell pepper) and chicken; cook, turning the chicken and stirring frequently, until the chicken begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Stir in broth and marjoram; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces to a clean cutting board to cool. Add spinach and beans to the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, Parmesan and basil in a food processor (a mini processor works well). Process until a coarse paste forms, adding a little water and scraping down the sides as necessary.
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Stir the chicken and pesto into the pot. Season with pepper. Heat until hot. Garnish with croutons, if desired.


Chicken and Spinach Soup with Pesto


This is a wonderful soup. Light and delicious.
