How to Roast a Duck in an Electric Nesco Roaster Oven
This roast duck was roasted in an electric Nesco roaster oven and served with raspberry sauce. Being roasted in an electric roaster means that the skin gets nice and crisp to go with the sweet and sour raspberry sauce. It’s a winner!
Oyster Cornbread Dressing – Thanksgiving Sides
This recipe for Oyster Cornbread Dressing has been in my family for generations. There’s a reason for that – it’s damn good. The oysters do not taste fishy, they just give the stuffing umami which takes it over the top.
The Month of Burgers – Greek Turkey Burgers
My good friend gave me some tabouleh, easily the best I have ever had. We will be featuring that recipe soon. Anyway, what goes better with tabouleh than Greek Turkey Burgers and some curried couscous.
These burgers are great for the summer, on the outdoor grill, or on an indoor cast iron griddle. Use your favorite Feta cheese. There are many varieties available, my favorite is French. Of course, if you don’t like Feta cheese, you could substitute your favorite cheese instead. Don’t be afraid of putting mint, it’s not going to taste like a peppermint candy.
The Month of Italian – Curried Chicken Risotto
Jump to Recipe Jump to Video
This was something that I kind of threw together at the last moment, and it turned out to be quite tasty and easy to make. It’s the month of Italian, and risotto is a traditional Italian dish made from arborio rice. Curry is Indian, but I’m sure Marco Polo probably brought the spice back to Italy from his year-long stay in India, so this is fusion cuisine. Please enjoy this easy to make Curried Chicken Risotto with your own garnishes.
Chicken Crepes with Blue Cheese and Pistachios – The Month of French
These crepes are inspired by a little restaurant in Hollywood that used to be my local hangout. There are a few different chicken fillings you could use for this. Because I had the ingredients for Chicken with Gorgonzola and Pistachios, I used that, but you could do this with a Mornay sauce, or even a can of Chicken a la King.
Graniteware Roast Chicken – The Month of French
Moist chicken in a Graniteware roaster to keep moisture in and have nice crispy skin. Easy enough for a weeknight dinner, elegant enough for guests.
Turkey Stroganoff with Shallots
- Serendipity
- An unsought, unintended, and/or unexpected, but fortunate, discovery and/or learning experience that happens by accident
This Turkey Stroganoff was certainly serendipitous. I don’t usually buy the ground breast of turkey because it has such little flavor.  But, it was on sale, so I thought why not? How awful could it be? When it was finished it was full of flavor and delicious. It’s quick and easy, perfect for a weeknight when you are tired, coming home from work and hungry for something good and quick.
Chicken Kabobs with Rice Pilaf from the Silk Road
Silk Road Chicken Kabobs with Rice Pilaf are an East meets West delight you can have for dinner in a flash even on a busy night.
Kung Pao Chicken – Boswell Style
Kung Pao Chicken – Boswell Style
This is my son’s favorite Kung Pao chicken. It’s spicy but not as tongue blazing as the dish at our local Chinese restaurant, which we love. This is also very simple to make, and you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen already – well, maybe not the Hoisin sauce, but that is available at a supermarket near you. It’s also very easy to add more heat if you want, just add more peppers.
