BAREFOOT BLOGGERS - Indonesian Ginger Chicken

-
This week Todd of A Cooking Dad chose our Barefoot Bloggers challenge. Indonesian Ginger Chicken. You can find the recipe on Todd's webpage, along with all his other delicious foods!

I was excited about this recipe because I am a chicken lover. And I love when members choose recipes that are easy to prepare and can be infused into my weekly dinner menus. One less dinner I have to plan! The chicken delivered - it was very flavorful but with one negative. It was a bit dry. Maybe I overcooked it a bit. But we still enjoyed it.

It has been really really cold here in the south. So cold that we are not happy. Even had a frozen water pipe in my bathroom over the weekend. At least it did not burst! We were lucky. We are heading to Las Vegas later this week and I am really hoping it is warmer out there. If any of you live out that way, puleeeze tell me it is nice and warm. We are not going to gamble. We are going to celebrate a family birthday. But we will probably lose a few bucks along the way. Looking forward to eating at Batista's Italian Restaurant for the birthday celebration.

Have a great weekend! Can you send a few good luck and good fortune wishes my way? Thanks!

I made this earlier this week and thought I would take a picture of the leftovers the next day in the light. Everyone loved it so much there were none!
Good luck in Vegas, I hope it's warmer!

Been cold up north too! I know you are not used to it though - my cousin in TN is currently living in a hotel because her pipes did burst. Glad you enjoyed the chicken. The brussel sprouts look good too - wish I could get my wife to eat those.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes.  At this point, they are perfe

TWD - Steph’s Bakewell Tart

What is a Bakewell Tart, you might ask.  Apparently it all began in Derbyshire, England.  I had no idea it was popular with  The Great British Baking Show.   This classic  combines a buttery shortcrust pastry with a filling of raspberry jam, (or in my case blackberry jam), topped with an almond spongecake and almond slices. I think there are probably many different versions of the Bakewell. On my first attempt, my crust totally fell apart in the oven.  At that point, I went to plan b and made four mini tarts.  These worked perfectly for us.  I have a very thin layer of the jam and wish I had used a bit more.  We enjoyed this and it was a breeze to put together.   Check out Tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com for others.

TWD - Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

It is my turn to host! Almost three years ago I had no idea what a food blog was, much less that there were ladies and gentlemen all across the world baking and writing about such things, and sharing and growing with each other over recipes.  I'm not a chef or a great baker, but I do love to cook for my family so I decided to join in.  Since we are just two days past Mother's Day, I want to thank my sweet mother (who passed away three years ago) for sharing her love of cooking with me. My first Dorie recipe was a fruit galette.  I remember still how delicious it was.  I even remember the first comment I received on my blog.  It was like an award to me!  I still love reading all your comments, so thank you to those of you who regularly stop by to leave encouragement and stop for a second to say hello. Now about Dorie.  I love the way Dorie explains her recipes step by step.  While some of the recipes in her book "appear" complicated, I think any novice could fol
