Baked Garlic Parmesan Polenta Fries
If you’ve ever wondered about the difference between Polenta and Grits, they are like fraternal twins. Polenta is generally made with ground yellow corn, while grits are made with ground white corn. And while the coarseness of the grind differs by preference they are both cornmeal mush. The great thing about both is that they are like an artist’s canvas…to be transformed into so many different tastes at the whim of the artist chef/cook. These Baked Garlic Parmesan Polenta Fries are the perfect example of that analogy.
Honey Sriracha Chicken Tenders
Okay, doubters…the title says Sriracha, but this Honey Sriracha Chicken is not hot. Just a tad of the spicy from the Sriracha comes through, with the honey being the most evident note. But, you could certainly use extra Sriracha to dip it in if you like the heat. This chicken is ready in mere minutes; it’s baked, not fried; it’s ra-heeel-y good. And it’s only FOUR ingredients. I came in under the number for {Five Ingredient Friday}. Woo! Continue reading
Mediterranean Cucumber Salad
This Mediterranean Cucumber Salad is Greek inspired…filled with cucumber, tomato, red onion, feta cheese, kalamata olives and herbs. It’s so darned flavourful; you’ll crave it! It keeps really well, too. So leftovers are great for next day lunches. With some naan, or some crusty bread, it’s a light fabulous meal for Meatless Monday. Continue reading
Strawberry Buttermilk Cake
The Spring strawberries are starting to appear and they are just beautiful! Both in this Strawberry Buttermilk Cake and on it (in the form of a strawberry/lemon glaze) the strawberries are the true star of this cake. It’s very much in texture like a pound cake, but it’s stuffed with strawberries and hints of lemon and a teeny tiny titch of nutmeg. Continue reading
Balsamic Lemon Rosemary Chicken
Ho-ly Smoke! I can’t begin to say enough good things about this simple, flavourful dish! Five Ingredient Friday is a true winner this week with Balsamic Lemon Rosemary Chicken. If you like chicken and don’t make this, you’re certifiable, I’m tellin’ ya’. Continue reading
BBQ Sauce – Tomato Vinegar Sweet and Spicy
In the South, there are many regional variations of BBQ and sauce preferences. In the Mountains of East Tennessee, tomato-based smoky BBQ sauces are the norm. Over in North Carolina, just across the border, a vinegar-based sauce is what most people like. In this sauce, I’ve combined tomato, two vinegars, brown sugar and molasses, smoky chipotle chili powder, and a kick of heat from Tabasco and crushed red peppers for a tart/sweet/smoky/spicy sauce. It’s better than anything you can get in the grocery. Guaranteed. Continue reading
