I hosted a family dinner to showcase Ina’s fabulous recipes. I made Lemon Chicken, Moroccan Couscous and Limoncello Ricotta Cheesecake. Two of the three recipes were from Barefoot in Paris. I made the Lemon Chicken without the croutons, since I was making the couscous I didn’t feel I needed another starch. The Lemon Chicken was…

French Fridays – Chicken, Apples, and Cream a la Normande
Continuing on my French cooking journey, I had some extra cream and searched through Around My French Table and came across this chicken recipe; Chicken, Apples, and Cream a la Normande. We rarely make dishes with a sauce so this recipe was a treat. Skinless, boneless chicken breasts are dredged in flour, salt and pepper…
May Potluck!
Sometimes it takes a recipe to make something so simple that tastes so good. Roasted Chicken and Brussels Sprouts with Rice Pilaf from What’s For Dinner by Curtis Stone. The recipe calls for whole chicken legs but I just had thighs so that is what I used. Coated with olive oil, salt and pepper the…
French Fridays with Dorie Roast Chicken for Les Paresseux
I was having family over for a meal and wanted to make something special but not a lot of work. Dorie’s roast chicken for les paresseux (lazy people) seemed to fit the bill and also had many recommendations from the group. Two pieces of bread were put on the bottom of the pan and the…

Chicken Couscous
On fishy Fridays, I mean French Fridays with Dorie, we made a chicken dish! Chicken couscous page 214. I love chicken and couscous so I was looking forward to this dish. Since I was making 1/2 recipe I did not want to buy a whole chicken so I bought 2 pounds of legs. First you…
Vanilla Vegetable Salad
The heat wave is gone, the marine layer is back and my oven is back on. But for this week on French Fridays with Dorie we did not need our ovens. Vanilla vegetable salad (page 114) only needed a vegetable peeler, carrots, yellow summer squash, olive oil, lemon and a dash of vanilla extract. I…
Curried Chicken, Peppers, and Peas en Papillote
The last en papillote we made for French Fridays was baby bok choy, sugar snaps, and garlic which I loved so I was looking forward to trying the same technique with chicken. The prep for curried chicken, peppers and peas (page 221) could not have been easier. Place cut up chicken breasts, sliced red onion,…
