    Roasted Chicken Thighs with Herb Butter

    August 5, 2020

    One of the most simple cooking methods is roasting. Roasting means to oven cook food, whether meats or vegetables, in a shallow uncovered pan. This method usually produces a well-browned exterior and moist interior. Temperatures for roasting are generally higher than for baking, and the pan must be uncovered so the food does not stew in its own juices. Another criterion for roasting is that it requires fat, either as part of the food like duck or added, like butter to potatoes. Cuts of meat or poultry for roasting must be reasonably tender. Tougher pieces are better prepared with moist cooking methods such as braising. What happens in roasting? An…

    Chicken Enchiladas For Two

    May 16, 2017

    Enchiladas are an easy weeknight meal, which can be very healthy if you use good ingredients. Simple and easy to prepare, I made these chicken enchiladas with my favorite go-to, pre-cooked, pre-chopped PERDUEchicken. ***this post contains affiliate links to which, if you make a purchase, I will be paid a small commission. Great invention for couples, or even one person. Of course, you can prepare raw chicken, however, I think it tends to get a bit dried out for this application. These were delicious and only baked for 20 minutes.  Prep time was about 15 minutes…dinner under an hour! CLICK HERE TO SHOP! Make Your Own Enchilada Red Sauce Ingredient…

    Skillet Lasagna For Two Without Leftovers

    March 31, 2017

    Three Meals for Two People Meal Three: Meaty Skillet Lasagna This meaty skillet lasagna is simple and scaled-down, requiring very little prep and it will not leave behind a wake of dirty dishes nor leftovers. Do not substitute no-boil lasagna noodles for the traditional, curly-edged lasagna noodles here because the no-boil noodles will fall apart.   Most lasagna recipes are constructed to serve 8-10 people.  Here, we just want enough to serve two people; however, this recipe is so filling, it could serve three people easily. This recipe recommends using 85% lean ground beef to cut down on the amount of grease; however, the beef is not as flavorful as Italian…

    Indonesian Rice for Two

    March 29, 2017

    In our cooking for two series, this week, we made Indonesian Rice and it was just enough for two. This is a simple dinner but is very filling. The original recipe from America’s Test Kitchen calls for Thai chilies. I do not like hot, spicy foods, so I used banana peppers instead (still removing the seeds).  I prepped my white rice ahead of time and just slowly allowed it cool on the stovetop. Cook your rice according to package directions to yield 3 cups (1.5 cups per serving) Indonesian Rice For Two Recipe

    Effortless Chicken Thighs in a Creamy Sauce

    January 16, 2017

    Chicken thighs are more flavorful than the breast cut and covering the thighs with a creamy sauce makes them more delightful. However, after making this incredible creamy sauce and nestling chicken thighs in the sauce,  I have started to change my tune. This dish is very good for a weeknight easy meal. I served it with simple yellow rice, mixed with some banana peppers that I froze back in the spring. After thawing the peppers, between two paper towels, I chopped them up and put them in the rice, at the same time I placed the rice on simmer.
