Chicken Marbella
The weather is getting cooler so it's time again for
this delicious chicken, the most requested dish in
our history, by far. Bone-in chicken pieces
flavored with green olives, capers and dried plums.
May sound unusual but trust us, this
Mediterranean-inspired chicken is a crowd pleaser,
(and if somebody doesn't like olives or prunes, they
are easy to scrape off!). Bakes in the oven.
(low carb w/o
prunes- easy to split -
easy at home - relatively kid friendly)
Roast Beef with Gremolata Rub ~ $5 supplement ($5.18

lemon, gets rubbed all over an eye round roast
that's at least 2 lbs. Great way to make an everyday
meal a bit more special. Leftovers are perfect for
sandwiches. Roasts in the oven.

the microwave.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Mustard and Molasses
~ NEW!
Don't
store your grill for the winter quite yet. This very
easy dish is sure to be a crowd pleaser: I served it
at a dinner party where we sampled four different
pork tenderloin recipes and this was everybody's
favorite. In this dish we use a marinade to
tenderize the pork and then reduce it into a savory
sauce with hints of mustard and molasses. Grill the
pork (or roast it if you want) and use the stovetop
for the sauce.

Traci's Chicken Pot Pie
After the arrival of each of my kids, my neighbor, and friend, Traci
delivered a chicken pot pie to our doors. It was so good it
almost made up for the sleepless nights. This recipe is based on
hers and had become a favorite at Dinner by the Dozen over the years. Flaky pastry tops kid-friendly veggies and chicken in a creamy
sauce. Cooks on the stovetop and oven. To make it healthier, we have
omitted the bottom crust, but you won't miss it.

White Chicken Chili ~ $5 supplement
($5.18 w/tax)
(and worth every penny)
Mild green chiles, white beans and
lean chicken breasts make up the bulk of this wonderful white chili.
Mild or hot - you add the hot sauce to your liking. Wonderful on a
cold day, this chili has lots of chicken in it so it's really
hearty. Cooks on your stovetop, although some clients have tried it
in their crockpots too.

better to cook the whole batch and freeze leftovers - relatively

Chorizo and Beef Burgers with Spicy Mayo
Mix the spicy Mexican sausage Chorizo with some all-American ground
beef and you've got a new twist on the backyard burger BBQ! These
yummy burgers are served with a flavored mayo with Cajun seasonings
and hot pepper sauce for a sure fire kick. Perfect for the grill.

All-Beef Burgers with Spicy Mayo
Same dish as above, but without the chorizo. Heather's kids loved
the burgers with the chorizo (sans the mayo of course, they stuck
with good 'ole plan ketchup) but if you want, omit the chorizo,
making them all-beef burger patties with just the seasonings and
you're sure to please. Fire up the grill.

Greek Chicken Rollatini ~ NEW!
Your family will think you are so fancy when you prepare this dish.
First we halve each chicken breast to make it thin, then roll it
around feta, roasted peppers and kalamata olives. At home, you sear
the chicken rolls in a hot pan and finish by simmering them in
chicken broth. Delicious!

Crunchy Tilapia Flavor Bar
We have been intrigued by breaded fish for a while - yeah, we have
no life... Anyway, we finally came up a very simple recipe that
delivers the right crunch. Kinda' white-trashy but very good! We
will have a variety of coatings for you to choose from, featuring
both cornmeal and multigrain bases, with seasonings ranging from
chipotle to French onion to plain cheddar. Just choose in the kitchen. If
you want, you can even coat each piece of fish in something
different. Cooks in a skillet.
