Someone turned down the thermometer across the country and the only thing that is helping me out is coming home to my Snuggie and a bowl of something hot and delicious. My mother’s favorite go-to chicken and dumplings were the only thing on my mind this weekend and here’s the recipe so you can warm up from the inside out.

Tuesday Night Special: Pepperoni and Chicken Pasta

Deliciousgirl Aug. 18.2009 9:09am

Pepperoni has got to be my absolute favorite topping on pizza that I order in (when I make it myself I pancetta and sundried tomatoes win hands down.) So I decided, if it’s good on pizza, it has to be good with pasta–and I was correct. This dish is crazy fast–which is perfect for a Tuesday evening. You can bulk it up with the addition of grilled chicken, or prepare it with just the pepperoni. Enjoy with a mixed salad and crusty Italian bread.

Honey Glazed Fried Chicken

Jeniece Aug. 13.2009 7:00am

No this recipe isn’t 50 Million Pound Challenge approved, but a sister had a request for it from a really good friend in crisis–who am I to say no to a friend in need? This is my delicious version of the honey glazed fried chicken that I order at my favorite cheap eats restaurant in the city–it’s sticky, and super delicious. I usually serve it with buttermilk waffles for brunch, but eaten alone is just as good. Enjoy…in moderation.
