Pork Schnitzel

A few years ago Raf and I went to Germany for our friend’s wedding. After the wedding we traveled about the country exploring the different areas of Germany and their cuisine. In the gorgeous city of Wiesbaden which is well known for its hot springs, we walked into a German bar and enjoyed a typical German meal. Although Wienerschnitzel is known to be an Austrian favorite we savored the delicious thin breaded veal in this delightful bar. Since then I have made quite a few schnitzels! Pork, chicken and veal…This recipe is very easy to make and can be done in under ten minutes! I usually serve it with German potato salad or make a gravy and serve it over mashed potatoes. You’ll find it delicious with any accompanying side!   Continue reading →

Pork Fried Rice

The other day I purposely made extra Rice Pilaf since the hubby & kiddos like it but I guess I made a bit too much. First leftover chicken and now leftover rice pilaf! I could just serve it alongside a regular meal this week but that’s kind of boring…instead I decided to season some pork and making a yummy Pork Fried Rice. So easy and tasty. And a great way to use up any left over rice!   Continue reading →

Savory Chicken Pie

What to do with leftover chicken? So, the other night I made Honey-Lemon Glazed Chicken and since one of the boys wasn’t home for dinner a huge chicken breast went untouched. But I hate to see anything go to waste! So today I peeled all that delicious honey-lemon glazed chicken meat off the bone and diced it up. I thought about making chicken salad sandwiches for lunch but decided why not use it in a chicken pie? This chicken pie ended up being the best chicken pie I’ve ever tasted…It really was incredibly delicious! Let me know if you agree…Enjoy!!   Continue reading →

Honey-Lemon Glazed Chicken, Rice Pilaf & Green Beans with Sautéed Shallots

It was a perfect day to fire up the grill for the first time this spring! Our local supermarket had a great sale on chicken breasts and legs so I stocked up! Some went right into the freezer but these were perfect for this recipe. Marinading them while the grill was getting hot and then basting them during the last ten minutes added a boost of flavor! The rice pilaf and string beans can be prepared while the chicken is grilling. Since the chicken is on the bone it takes about 45-60 minutes to grill so enjoy the time with a glass of red wine! Now let’s get cooking!   Continue reading →
