Clay Pot Chicken

Clay Pot Chicken

For some reason, any meal that comes with a "sauce" seems extra fancy to me. Sauce comes from resturaunts, where sous chefs can spend time laboring and balancing out a delicate saucy accompaniment. It always seems like a step too far for a weeknight meal. The Clay Pot Chicken came together great, and I was happily surprised at how easy it was! The sauce, included.

Beef Bourguignon

Beef Bouguignon with bread

Beef Bourguignon is Arlo-approved! While this meal was not the most appropriate selection for a warm spring night, it sure was delicious.

Chinese Squab

Chinese Squab with Bok Choy

This recipe was yum! I've never cooked a bird smaller than a chicken, so I was very curious about this one. I have to say that having a personal poultry to eat for dinner is FUN!

Salad Dressing

Jean Butlers Salad Dressing on Romaine
There is never a shortage of assorted salad dressings in our refrigerator door. That makes the prospect of actually making my own salad dressing seem like a moot point. An effort that will have a minimal return on my investment of time and energies. Mind changed! I'm a believer!

Emmie's Shrimps

Emmie's Shrimps
This was an easy-to-prepare dish, with a lot of flavor! The garlic and parsley pair nicely with the shrimps. The recipe says to serve over rice, but I opted for a polenta (shrimp n grits, y'all!)
