This was one of my favorites growing up. To start you need a cooked chicken, I was fortunate to find a (3 lb) no hormone, no antibiotic, cage free chicken for $3.50. I roasted it in the oven last night. Rotisserie chicken would be fine if you don’t want to cook one. I only used…

Chili Beans
A really simple chili recipe with only a few ingredients. Most folks have there own favorite recipe but some don’t. I am here for those that don’t. This recipe was adapted from an old cookbook that I have. It’s beat up like me and some inscriptions have been cut out, ouch. It’s called the Yadkin…
Stuffed Eggplant
Tonight as usual I needed something for diner. Stopped by the grocery and saw some nice looking eggplant. It was saying eat me and was on sale, so I bought one. But, what to do with it? I really wanted eggplant parmesan but I didn’t want to bread and fry so I decided to stuff…

Sauteed Kale & Leftovers
I’m finding some nice local greens in the grocery right now, kale, mustard greens, collard and chard. It’s February and the other veggies are grown somewhere else. Remember the frozen food section can be your friend for the seasonal veggies you cant find. Tonight I decided on this local grown kale and like to cook…
Smoked Brisket
I remember as a child having dinner at my grandmothers and asking what is this beef. My grandmother said “Brisket”, I later asked her what is brisket. She said it’s beef cooked low and slow in the oven. To clarify, you want a regular beef brisket not corned beef (with the spice pack). Corned beef…
Spinach Burgers
Today I really wanted a hamburger and picked up 1-1/4 lb. of ground beef at the grocery. I was feeling guilty about using the 73 percent lean but it was on sale and makes good burgers. Anyway I could always make a salad out the organic baby spinach I had in the fridge to balance it…
Spatchcocked Chicken
Spotted one of my favorite girls in the store, a no antibiotic, no hormone, 3-1/2 lb. cage free chicken (with $1.50 off coupon!). To prep: cut the backbone out with your kitchen shears, flatten and season. Tonight was freestyle Friday, I didn’t follow any recipe. Season with approximately 1 tsp. each. Tarragon cayenne (1/2 tsp.)…
