Best Garlic Roasted Chicken You'll EVER HAVE!!!

01/21/2011 13:00:43

This recipe is an old favorite that my mom tried, knowing our whole family loves garlic. YES, WE LOVE GARLIC.

 

If you love garlic, try this recipe once and I promise you will be in love with it!!!

 

12 cloves garlic

1 1/2 Tablespoons sea salt

1 Tablespoon black peppercorns

2 Tablespoons of dried oregano

2 Tablespoons olive oil

2 Tablespoons of white wine vinegar

 

Put in all ingredients in food processor until it becomes a paste.

 

Wash a 5 lb chicken and pat dry. Cut the skin in parts and place the paste in between the skin and the chicken. Also, place some of the paste into the chicken's inner cavity.

 

Bake chicken at 500 degrees for 30 minutes.

Cover and continue to cook chicken at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.

 

The chicken should read 165 degrees on a thermometer.

 

YUM

New and Simple Pot Roast recipe

01/17/2011 16:06:14

I tried Candace's new Pot Roast tonight for dinner. Here is the recipe. It is not exact at all, but it was yummy....

2 lb roast, carrots, onion, potatoes

Season with white pepper, Tastefully Simple's Seasoned Salt, Garlic Salt or Powder, and Beef Boullion.

 

Cook until beef is tender. Can be cooked in crockpot.

 

YUM. The white pepper gives it a little kick. I always add garlic to my roast (well, I add garlic to everything....hahah). Anyway, it was perfectly seasoned without the fresh garlic. Sorry I don't have exact measurments, but I was liberal on all the seasonings b/c I know that the potatoes soak up the seasonings. Thanks to Candace for another great favorite!

Happy New Year!

New year, new goals?

 

I'm not typically one to set a goal at the beginning of a new year. It just doesn't seem acheiveable....Almost everyone breaks their New Year's Resolutions. However, I heard of a fantastic one recently. One of my friends is going to write a thank you note EVERY DAY this upcoming year. Imagine how many lives she is going to touch! I LOVE getting notes in the snail mail. There is something special about receiving mail and opening it up and reading something that someone has handwritten espeically for you. It is a fantastic idea. In Lieu of that, if you would like to have any one of our recipe cards made into a note card, we are willing to do so. We have white envelopes that we can include. Just email us at triflerecipecards@gmail.com and let us know which one you would like to order.

 

As for me, I would love to try one new recipe a week. However, I am not making that my resolution or goal. I think maybe I may just attempt it for the next couple of months, until summer. During summer, everything concerning routine goes out the window!

 

Have a great new year.

Best Mac and Cheese + my addiction to gruyere!

11/17/2010 13:28:09

One of my indulgences is GRUYERE cheese. I love it. I cannot get enough of the gruyere cheese. Seriously, I can just eat it. YUM. My favorite is Martha Stewart's mac and cheese made with gruyere cheese. It is pricey, but a great recipe for the holidays.

 

For your concenience, I have copied and pasted this from Martha's website:

Serves 12

  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for dish
  • 6 slices good white bread, crusts removed, torn into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces
  • 5 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (I put less)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 4 1/2 cups grated sharp white cheddar cheese (about 18 ounces)
  • 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (about 8 ounces) or 1 1/4 cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese (about 5 ounces)
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni (I put a few less)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish; set aside. Place bread in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour butter into bowl with bread, and toss. Set breadcrumbs aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, heat milk. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a high-sided skillet over medium heat. When butter bubbles, add flour. Cook, whisking, 1 minute.
  3. While whisking, slowly pour in hot milk. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick.
  4. Remove pan from heat. Stir in salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 3 cups cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 cups Gruyere or 1 cup Pecorino Romano; set cheese sauce aside.
  5. Fill a large saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Add macaroni; cook 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's directions, until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone. (Different brands of macaroni cook at different rates; be sure to read the instructions.) Transfer macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Stir macaroni into the reserved cheese sauce
  6. Pour mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Gruyere or 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano, and breadcrumbs over top. Bake until browned on top, about 30 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes; serve hot.

Intro of our BLOG!

My sister-in-law, Candace and I (Addie) LOVE cooking. So, if you follow this blog at all, you will probably notice many, many, many of our favorite recipes being posted. Speaking of which, my mom's favorite soup of the season, "Mandi's White Chicken Chili" is posted below. I made it tonight for the first time. I made corn muffins from a Jiffy box and homemade salsa to go with it. It hit the spot! My little girl who is typically very picky had several spoonfuls! The best part about it, everything can be dumped in the CROCKPOT!!!

1 32 oz box chicken stock

2 14 oz cans white northern beans, undrained

1 14 oz can black beans, drained

1 can of cooked chicken (we can our own....)

1 16oz jar salsa

8 oz pepperjack cheese grated

2 teas ground cumin (I usually put a little less!)

4 cloves garlic

White or Black pepper to taste

 

Place all ingredients in crockpot. Heat until cheese is melted.

 

Serve with blue corn chips and cilantro.
