Chinese Chicken Salad

This recipe (Barefoot Contessa Parties!) was amazing.  I substituted (what else?) a rotisserie chicken for the roasted chicken breasts, and we used less than half of a recipe for dinner.  It took me less than 10 minutes to throw this … Continue reading

Tuscan Lemon Chicken

This chicken (Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics) was supposed to be a whole chicken, cut up and grilled.  As I made it, it was chicken pieces (thank you, Trader Joe’s) made in the oven (thank you, Minnesota spring winds).  It … Continue reading

Roast Capon

I’d never cooked capon before using this recipe (Barefoot Contessa at Home, p. 102), and I figured it couldn’t be all that different from a roast chicken.  After all, a capon is merely a rooster which is… no longer a … Continue reading
