Chicken Masala

My husband and I tried Indian food for the first time last year while on vacation in Cape Cod, and this Chicken Masala recipe has been a favorite in our house ever since. If you’re curious at all about Indian food, give this recipe a try! The main flavoring used, garam masala, is a blend……

Apricot and Walnut Stuffing

To date, I have not been a huge fan of regular stuffing. I’ve been pretty indifferent about it. I’ll take a few bites at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinners, but it’s certainly not my favorite side dish in the world. Whatever the case, I was intrigued when I saw a recipe for Apricot and Walnut Stuffing……

Shoyu Ramen

I’ve been wanting to try to make Shoyu Ramen for some time now – ever since I first tried it at the amazingly good Japanese restaurant, Yama, in Morgantown. I’ve been gathering the specialty ingredients and planning how I wanted to make it for probably 3 months. I finally went for it today. I had……

Autumn Chicken Stew

Living in West Virginia, we usually have a pretty nice transition from summer into fall. It’s one of the advantages of living here that I have to remind myself of occasionally when I’m complaining about not having a Whole Foods or a farmer’s market that’s open for more than one day a week. (Don’t get……

Amaretto Chicken

Great news! My camera arrived today! So, lolfoodie is officially back in business! I can’t express my excitement strongly enough! The UPS package arrived around 4:45 this evening, so I had just enough time to get its battery charged before starting dinner. I rushed around prepping as much of the recipe as I could and ……

Chicken Croquettes with Tomato Dipping Sauce

I didn’t even know what croquettes were until yesterday. I was trying to find a dish to make with ground chicken that didn’t involve a sandwich or a soup. I decided to make croquettes, and thought they would be tasty with a tomato dipping sauce… turns out, I was right! To make approx. 4 servings……

Skinny Chicken Pot Pie

This recipe is for a healthy version of the usually full-of-fat dish, chicken pot pie. I made the crust from scratch, but you can certainly substitute a ready-made pie crust dough to save some time (I probably would have if I had one). Bonus though- you control the amount of fat etc that goes into……

Plum-Braised Chicken

Mmmmm…. plums. And chicken. It’s almost like a dessert that passes for dinner; and then you are allowed to have dessert afterward, as well! I will waste no time. For (approximately) 2 servings, you will need: 5 chicken thighs (you can use your favorite chicken cut here; you can use skinless or skin-on, as well)……

Chicken Marsala

Today’s recipe is for one of my husband’s favorite dishes – Chicken Marsala. There are lots of ways to make this Italian classic, but this is my preference! Don’t be daunted by the list of ingredients. Most of them are pantry items or stuff you will have on hand anyway. For 3 servings, you will……

Homemade Chicken Stock

I found myself with a pack of chicken wings on my hands that were expiring on the same day, but I wasn’t in the mood for wings. So, instead of letting them go to waste, I decided to make some homemade chicken stock to freeze for use at a later date! I plan to use……
