Chicken with Curry and Lemons

Being in the middle of  moving we find we are trying to use up a lot of stores, so that we don”t have to move so much.  The result is trying to come with recipes using what is available in the cupboard and trying not to do a lot of shopping.  This is one of those recipes it came out pretty good.

Ingredients for Chicken with Curry and Lemons

  1. 3 -4 Chicken breasts
  2.  2 cups Carrots thinly sliced
  3. 2 cups olives chopped
  4. 1 lemon cut into 8 slices
  5. 1 can diced tomatoes
  6. 2 Tbs curry powder
  7. salt and pepper
  8. 3 Tbs butter
  9. 2 Tbs Olive oil
  10. 5 Tbs flour
  11. ½ cup white wine
  12. 1 cup chicken stock
  13. 1 cup brown rice (optional)

Directions for Chicken with Curry and Lemons

Take the chicken breasts and season both sides with salt and pepper.  In a saute pan large enough to accommodate the breasts in a single layer, brown them off on both sides in 3 Tbs butter and 2 Tbs Olive oil.

Once browned remove to a plate and cover with foil.

Add the flour to the pan and stir to combine and cook.  Once all the white flour has been incorporated cook for a minute or two more, then add the wine and stock and stir to combine and thicken the sauce.  Add in the tomatoes, carrots, lemon, curry powder and olives.  Stir the mixture to combine all the ingredients, if the sauce appears too thick add a little more stock.

Place the chicken back on top of the vegetables and cover pan.  Cook on medium low to medium for 35 -45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are softened.  For a nice presentation slice the chicken on the bias and serve over the rice and vegetables.

Tuna and Pasta Salad with Tomato and Green Chilies and Olives

Another easy to make anytime dish good warm or cold.  Like my other recipe for tuna and pasta you can substitute chicken if you’re not a fish person.  There are no set rules, add items or delete what you don’t like, it’s a recipe not a blueprint for a rocket.  I always keep a number of these items in the larder in case I need to make a quick dish to fill in for lunch or dinner.  Any type of shaped pasta will work elbows, shells, orecchiette, small penne.  The only real musts are make sure you have a good italian dressing ( for this one I like to use Wishbone).

Ingredients for Tuna and Pasta Salad

  1. 1 -2 large cans Tuna or Chicken
  2. 1 red onion diced
  3. 1 small can green chilies diced
  4. 1 cup green olives chopped
  5. 1-2 tomatoes diced or 1 can diced tomatoes drained
  6. 1 recipe of Good Seasons Italian Dressing
  7. salt and pepper to taste
  8. Parmesan cheese to taste (optional)
  9. 1 box shaped pasta

Directions for Tuna and Pasta salad

Boil the pasta in salted water, once done, drain.

Prepare all the rest of the ingredients and putting the pasta into a large bowl to mix, add the rest of the ingredients and combine thoroughly. If making it ahead of time make sure you have extra dressing to moisten the pasta before serving.

 

Here are a few items to help make this recipe:
New Professional Commercial Grade 12 QT (Quart) Heavy-Gauge Stainless Steel Stock Pot, 3-Ply Clad Base, Induction Ready, With Lid Cover NSF Certified Item
Good Seasons Salad Dressing & Recipe Kit, Cruet with 2-Count Italian Dressing Mix (Pack of 2)

Oh well another of those recipes that really aren’t pup friendly.  Too many onions and spicy stuff for me, I can’t even get a taste, but surprisingly it does smell quite good, so 3 paws, and let’s hope there is steak for dinner!

Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

The old adage “you don’t mess with success” is certainly true when it comes to Chocolate Chip Cookies.  The original recipe was invented by Ruth Wakefield, who was the proprietor of the Toll House Inn in the mid 1930’s, and was so popular after being printed in a local newspaper that Nestle semi sweet chocolate bars kept selling out.   Mrs. Wakefield contacted Nestle and  struck a deal to have her recipe printed on the wrapper, in return for a life time supply of the chocolate.  Not long after Nestle began marketing the now famous “chips” to be used in the recipe.  To this day I believe it’s the best recipe and can’t be improved upon.

Ingredients for Nestle Toll House Cookies

  1. 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  2. 1 tsp baking soda
  3. 1 tsp salt
  4. 1 cup butter softened
  5. 3/4 Cup of sugar
  6. 3/4Cup packed brown sugar
  7. 1 tsp vanilla
  8. 2 eggs
  9. 2 Cups (12 oz) Nestle semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  10. 1 Cups chopped nuts

Directions for Nestle Toll House Cookies

Preheat oven to 375°

In a bowl combine the flour, baking soda,and salt. 

In a mixer place the softened butter both sugars and vanilla and cream until well mixed.  Add the eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly before adding the second.  Slowly add the dry ingredients and when thoroughly combined add the chips and nuts and stir them into the batter.

Drop tablespoon size drops of batter (#60 scoop) onto  ungreased baking sheets and bake for 9 – 11 minutes.  Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for about 2 minutes before placing on wire racks to cool completely.

You can double the recipe but make sure you have a sturdy spoon to mix in the chips and nuts.

 

Here are a few items to help make this recipe:
Crestware 60 Size Stainless Steel Squeeze Disher
WearEver 68201 Commercial Nonstick Bakeware 17-Inch by 11-Inch Large Non-Stick Baking Sheet, Silver
Artisan Silicone Baking Mat Set (2pk.) Non-Stick; 16 5/8 by 11 inches.

Another of those silly recipes that aren’t supposed to be for pups, in this case because of the chocolate.  Lucky for me, dad does bake off a few, sans the chips, so that I can evaluate them.  I give them 5 paws
