Paella, Revisited

Monday, September 28th, 2009

This was my next iteration of paella, incorporating the changes from last time. I didn't have any onion on hand, so I just used some onion powder, and it turned out just fine. I also used a full pound of shrimp, though I'd be perfectly happy to have ...

Quick Chicken and Summer Squash Skillet Serves 2 1 tbsp olive oil 1 lb skinless boneless chicken thighs 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp dried thyme leaves 1 lb summer squash (I ...

What We’ve Been Eating

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

So, I've been a bad blogger and not really posting about our meals. There have been a lot of tried and true recipes with the occasional small twist, so not much new, but I'll post a bit of a summary anyway. Galbi with Sautéed Summer Squash and Rice Pork, Mushroom, and ...

Paella

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

This was a pretty tasty version of paella - a traditional Spanish dish. I've written it as I made it below, but next time I'm going to use skinless boneless chicken thighs cut up, and I'm going to nestle the meats deeper into the rice to better get the ...

Barbecued Chicken

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

This was a very tasty dinner, despite running out of propane just a few minutes into cooking. I finished up the chicken under a low heat broiler and it turned out just fine. I think I'll probably do it that way from now on, anyway, since this way ...

Lemon Pepper Grilled Chicken Thighs

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Another night grilling dinner. This is a very tasty and simple non-recipe. Sprinkle skinless boneless chicken thighs lightly with lemon pepper seasoning and grill over medium heat for about 12 minutes total, or until cooked through. I served this with some grilled asparagus that I cooked for ...

Sweet Sticky Spicy Chicken

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

The recipe for Sweet, Sticky, Spicy Chicken from Allrecipes has been making the rounds on a message board that I frequent, and it's become a staple of quite a few of my friends. I made a few changes, of course. First, I used skinless boneless chicken thighs instead ...

Citrus Grilled Chicken (revisited)

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

About a month ago I made this citrus grilled chicken. Tonight I made a couple tweaks - adding cumin and replacing the food coloring with turmeric, which added some flavor as well as keeping the distinct yellow color. I'm quite happy with it now. It still isn't ...

Chile Lime Chicken Tostadas

Monday, April 27th, 2009

This was a quick and easy dinner that I came up with on the fly. I had some skinless boneless chicken thighs that needed to be used up, so I threw together a Mexican-inspired wet rub, grilled them up, along with some tortillas, and made some very tasty tostadas. ...

Citrus Grilled Chicken

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

This is another attempt at recreating the wonderfully flavorful chicken at El Pollo Loco, one of the few things I miss about Southern California (most of which seem to be food related :-P ). I found this recipe here via Google. The source is listed ...
