macaroni and cheese stuffed fried chicken~ it’s an entree and a side in one!
I made this the other night- it’s not true “fried” chicken- more like pan-crisped then baked. Mainly, because I didn’t want my house stinky. I just cleaned it, and you know how fried smells linger? I wanted to be able to enjoy my just-mopped-ness for a little while longer.
This turned out to be an awesome combination- up at the top with bacon and cheddar. Because, let’s face it: chicken breast is dry. Stuff it with some oowey, creamy macaroni and cheese and you have your moisture, flavor and side dish in one convenient meat. I won”t lie, though. I served it up with extra macaroni and cheese. You can never have too much of that.

Imperial rice~ creamy comfort food
This is one of my favorite dishes. On occasion, my Cuban neighbor will bring me some… and I graciously thank her and run to my kitchen to devour it. Of course I have begged her for the recipe, but she says she doesn’t use one. That’s the secret, folks. Don’t use a recipe. Except with baking. You gotta get those baking soda and baking powder measurements exact.  Continue reading imperial rice
comfort food~ it’s like a hug in food form
When I was about 17, I found this awesome comfort food cookbook at a bookstore; this was way before the days of the Internet- and debit cards, and I had no cash to buy the book…. so I tried my best to remember it so that I could buy it next time. I was 17. Of course I forgot all the important stuff, like the author or publisher. I did however, remember that is had awesome photos and recipes. Come to think of it, I bet nowadays the photos wouldn’t be that impressive- have you ever noticed that food photos from the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s don’t look as good as they do today? I have a collection hoarding issue with vintage cookbooks. Especially 1950′s ones.
I need to make a post about my favorites.
Did you know that the Pillsbury bake off used to be called the Grand National?
There’s a little tidbit.
Speaking of tidbits, here is a collection of my most loved comfort food recipes…

yummy chicken pasta~ because sometimes simple names get the point across
Seriously, this is a yummy dish. I know, “yummy” is a immature adjective- one that professional chefs seldom use. I know, I should name it golden chicken spinach fettuccine nestled on top of a bed of fresh vegetable fettuccine and topped with roasted red peppers and smothered in a rich creamy cheese and scallion sauce. But, that would make a REALLY long title, don’t ya think? Me too.

I don’t know about you, but anything with taco in the name sounds tasty. Mmmm….
When I named the recipe I had an aha moment. Get it?! Taco bell peppers? Taco bell…..hahaha…
I made these one night when we were going to have tacos, but a trip to the produce stand took me in a different dinner direction. Because peppers were on sale for 49¢ a pound. Woo~hoo! I love some good cheap food!
Of course, I would have free veggies in my backyard if they’d just grow. I think it has something to do with my sandy soil…it’s like planting in dirty sugar. Oh well….
