Buttermilk Fried Chicken Fingers

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Fingers by Marci Clark

This is not the healthiest chicken because it is obviously fried. But, it is delicious! Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Perfection! Every recipe I found for buttermilk chicken used bone-in chicken. I'm not a huge fan, so I decided to try making one with boneless chicken. I like to use coconut oil because it…

Garlic Lovers Chicken

Garlic Lovers Chicken by Patti Fisher

Chicken was on sale this week and Patti found a beauty, it was over 7lbs. so we had plenty left over for an awesome spontaneous picnic the next day with cold chicken.

Keema Matar Recipe is the spicy, bold mutton mince curry embellished with fresh green peas. Keema Matar is undoubtedly one of our favorite mutton curries from the days when I could not even spell the word keema.

Cajun Crowder Beans

Cajun Crowder Beans by Amos Miller

Also known as Crowder peas, these delicious little fellas can often be found in frozen form at the store. These are fresh picked right here in Michigan and, like fava beans and so many other seasonal treats, we rush them to the table. Crowders are really a 'Southern' treat and I first enjoyed them when visiting relatives in West…
