Super Bowl 50: Turkey Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites With Apricot Barbecue & Other Ideas

| Heidi

Turkey Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites With Apricot Barbecue

I love the Super Bowl and everybody knows it’s not just the most exciting game of the year, it’s the #1 junk food day of the year! Well it can taste like it’s bad for you and still be a healthy snack. These little bites of chicken wrapped in turkey bacon are just the ticket. I’ve paired them with an apricot jelly barbecue. These little gems are sure to please the big game eaters as well as the calorie conscious, (I used chicken thighs, but the breast meat would make it even lighter) … But just to give you more ideas to go with, Linda and I added some other great appetizer ideas with links at the bottom of the page.

Cocktail Corner: Margarita Madness

| Heidi

Coctail Corner 1

It’s Margarita time!!! I had my Peeps (friends) over for a Mexican lunch with pitchers of delicious Margaritas. I made my Mexican Beef Burritos with all the trimmings. I must say the Margaritas were a huge hit. Authentic all the way! I didn’t rim the glass because I don’t enjoy them with salt or sugar, so feel free to rim the glass if you want… Continue reading →

Chicken Cutlets With White Wine & Shallots

Chicken Cutlets With White Wine & Shallots

I love chicken especially when its been pounded paper thin, breaded then cooked to perfect tenderness. Chicken breasts tend to be a little dry. My hubby and I prefer the thigh, but when I serve it like a cutlet, it’s always a welcomed dish. I have also found over the years it is an economical and versatile way to use the breast because it serves many more people this way and you can change the seasoning in the breading and the sauce combinations. Today it was made with a simple reduction of white wine and shallots… Continue reading →

Whipped Sweet Potato Delight

| Heidi

Whipped Sweet Potato Delight 1

As promised, here is my Whipped Sweet Potato Delight. It was born on Thanksgiving many years ago when I was a young mother and was asked to make the sweet potatoes for the meal that year. Since I didn’t ever like the marshmallow-brown sugar version, I decided to make them in a manner that I would want to eat them. Mashed with lots of butter and cream cheese. From that Thanksgiving and every year after it has become a new tradition. And they are so good that I have to make enough for everyone to take some home. If you never like sweet potatoes unless they are in chip form or baked, try these… Continue reading →

Honey, Mustard & Pepper Glazed Ham With Apple Chutney 5

If you’ve been following Linda and I for a while now, you know that I am gifted several hams by my hubby’s clients every year. I have had to make ham in so many ways my brain hurts…but this is my favorite! I actually served this dish at a Small Plate Dinner on an evening we had guests. It was the perfect 4 or 5 bites that left you wanting more. Serving dishes on little 4″x 4″ plates is a fun way to make the ordinary exciting, (and to use your leftovers)! Your guests will think you spent days preparing… and in point of fact, you did!!! It was fun, delicious and enjoyed by all… Continue reading →
