Chicken Pot Pie with Fennel and Mushrooms in a Potato BowlYes, you read the title correctly and no, I didn't put the wrong picture up. This is a chicken pot pie. Kind of. This is the Classic Update to the Classic Chicken Pot Pie. The Classic/Classic Update feature is one of my most favorite sections of Fine Cooking Magazine. They always challenge me, whether with the original classic dish… |

Tequila-Grapefruit CocktailsThe goal for today was to make Tequila-Lime-Coconut Macaroon Bars that are in Southern Living Magazine. That was before I decided that it was time to clean the deck, and I mean clean the deck. I pressure-washed all the crud out from between the boards and then got on my hands and knees with a scrub brush and bleach-water and scrubbed… |

Spaghetti with Green Garlic and Olive OilI admit it; we are pasta hounds. We love it any way we can get it. Dudette's most requested dish is "that pasta with bacon in it," translated to spaghetti alla carbonara. So, yes, when I see a pasta dish, especially one that utilizes bacon, I gravitate towards making it. Ok, I run full force in its direction. You get my drift. Making… |

Green Curry Chicken with Carrots and CabbageThree hours ago I made this for lunch. As I type, my mouth still has a tingle and I haven't regained full feeling in my lips yet. What I didn't read prior to making the dish above was a description of the four main Thai curry paste types. This is what Fine Cooking says about green curry paste: "The hottest of all the curry pastes,… |

Tomato-Herb Mini FrittatasWhat? You didn't really think I'd be able to leave my copy of Southern Living magazine alone, did you? Seriously? Have you seen it yet? It has breakfast. It has a recipe for risotto. Get this; on the same page it has Tequila-Lime-Coconut Macaroon Bars, Strawberry-Lemon Shortbread Bars and Ginger-Lemon Bars with Almond Streusel. Yeah,… |

Rice and Beans with Fried EggsI give you breakfast; Costa Rican style. Even though I can't eat first thing in the morning (coffee only until 10:00), once I'm ready, I adore breakfast. Usually, it's something simple like a bagel or English muffin, but when given the opportunity, I'm ready to dive into something more substantial. I always appreciate it when the food… |

Chocolate Chip SconesFor those (including me) who were afraid that Cooking Light wouldn't include anything fun; this one's for us. What's that you're asking? What are those little reddish black and dark brown bits nestled in that golden ball? Those, my friends, are currants and chocolate chips. This little gem, Chocolate Chip Scones, is actually a… |

Southeast Asian Beef and Rice-Noodle SoupSeveral years ago I happened upon a recipe on Epicurious for Grilled Five-Spice Chicken with Soy Lime Dipping Sauce. That recipe started a love affair in our family for Vietnamese food. So, ever since I saw the recipe in the February 2009 issue of Gourmet Magazine for the Southeast Asian Beef and Rice-Noodle Soup, I knew I'd be making… |

Cathedral Chicken SaladSouthern Living was kind enough to share the chicken salad recipe from Birmingham, Alabama's Cathedral Church of the Advent. I figure if the church can serve that salad to hundreds of people year after year, it's got to be good. What makes it even better is that the recipe couldn't be easier or faster. It consists of chopped… |

Key Lime Pound CakeHave you ever seen a recipe in a magazine that looked so good you bought said magazine for just that one dish? Have you ever then made that one dish and been sorely disappointed, almost the the point of vowing never to buy that magazine again? Well, this isn't the case with this cake. Sorry for that, but it's pretty hard to create… |
