MY TWIST ON THIS

My family and I visited a local restaurant last year. We ordered the brisket queso appetizer, which looked and tasted very good. Sadly, I was unable to enjoy the dish because it was very spicy and contained beef, which I very rarely eat. Yesterday, my husband smoked some chicken. It was very delicious as usual, and the taste had me thinking about the appetizer we had last year. So, I decided that I would try to twist it using the smoked chicken. I figured this would be a great snack for the March Madness season, which is very popular in my home. Click on the link below:

I love most vegetables, except for corn. Last week I decided to cook some fresh green beans. I had some roasted black walnut oil on hand that I bought several weeks ago, and thought that I'd use it instead of olive oil. I couldn't have imagined that the combination of the roasted black walnut oil with garlic would produce such an enticing aroma. The combination was awesome!

Most of the time when I’m cooking I try to think outside of the box because no one wants the same boring meal. As I was preparing smothered potatoes one afternoon, I decided to put my twist on a very simple recipe. Enjoy!

I am very proud to eat this salad!  Mainly because the romaine lettuce in it was home grown. Last year I had a patio garden.  You might recall when I posted the green beans from my proud harvest, which boasted a variety of herbs and vegetables. 

Fried chicken is one dish that, in most cases, will have your taste buds tingling and wanting just one more piece. Many of us use our seasoned cast iron skillets. There's usually anticipation in my home. You might be wondering, “What’s the big deal, it’s just fried chicken.”  Well, the main reason is that eating fried foods may be good for the taste buds, but very unhealthy. Therefore, I generally bake or grill chicken in my home.
