Sometimes I like to put ingredients together and see what happens. I get an idea from somewhere else and change it to be my own. I was watching Rachel Ray and she made a chicken dish with blood oranges and honey. It looked yummy, but I couldn’t find blood oranges. I’ve been playing with the ingredients and this combination came out yummy. I hope you like it and it gives you ideas to make it your own. Ingredients Whole Chicken (skinless & cut up) Small Onion (minced) 2 Garlic cloves 2 Oranges 1 Lemon 2 Pears (peeled and quartered) Carrots ¼ cup Water Butter Honey Salt & Pepper Video
I bought a fresh pumpkin while out with some friends and wondered what I could make with it. I never made anything with fresh pumpkin before. I decided to try to make pumpkin soup. I looked up some recipes, but since I don’t like to measure when I cook, I just gathered up the most popular ingredients from those recipes. Sounds like fun? It was. This is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it. Ingredients Pumpkin (roasted with olive oil, salt & pepper) Roasted garlic cloves - @ 6-8 Fresh garlic cloves – 2 Onions Chicken stock Cooked carrots Cream Butter Salt Pepper Parmesan cheese (my little addition) Video
Helpful Hints Make sure you allow your pumpkin to cool before removing the skin after you roast it. Just use enough chicken stock to cover the pumpkin. If you don’t want to use fresh carrots, then use a can of carrots. If you use canned carrots be sure to rinse the carrots well. Use whatever seasonings you like. Experiment. No matter how you cook it, remember to have fun in the kitchen. @Nadine Zawacki 2012
