Salsa Verde Chicken with Herbed Cornmeal Dumplings

Happy Holidays! Today I'm celebrating that we've survived the madness of shopping, cooking, wrapping, decorating and the like. I love this time right before the new year begins. The house is a wreck and we're making our to-do lists for next year but we get to sleep in, stay in our jammies until noon and generally recoup in front of a cozy fire while watching the snow fall. And a big bowl of this is also not a bad thing! Nice riff on the standard chicken and dumplings and with a few basics, we had this ready in no time with minimal effort. For chicken: 4 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups chicken broth 1 jar (16 ounces) salsa verde (2 cups) 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk (or 2/3 cup fat-free half and half) 1 rottiserie chicken cooked & deboned with meat chopped or at least 3-4 cups chicken For the dumplings 1 cup milk 3 tablespoons butter 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 1 tablespoon...

Fresh Apple Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze

The thing about reading food blogs is that everything makes you hungry and a tempting photo can send me running into the kitchen. Take a look at this apple cake. Just take a good look and tell me you cannot mentally count the apples in your kitchen in hopes of making this immediately? This was a fantastically moist and a perfect fall/winter dessert with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's so good that the next time I make this cake I'll try and double the recipe, invite some friends over and wait for the compliments to roll in. Fresh Apple Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze Apple Cake: 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 2 eggs 1/2 cup canola oil 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cups finely chopped apples 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional) Brown Sugar Glaze: 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 3 Tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 Tablespoon heavy cream For the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a...

Creamy Corn Pizza

When I saw this pizza I could think of nothing else all day. Now we're a meal planning family which means that when I saw this recipe from Pink Parsley I had already had a plan for dinner. But once I saw this pizza I knew that we had to switch gears and try this. I was a little sad that I didn't have any frozen or fresh homemade pizza dough but I improvised and stopped and picked up fresh dough (not the kind you roll out from the can please!) and whipped this easy summer pie up for dinner. I was not disappointed! Think creamed corn meets cheesy pizza goodness. 1 lb pizza dough cornmeal, for sprinkling 2 large ears of fresh corn 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or grated 1 or 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 Tbs olive oil, plus more for brushing the dough kosher salt 1 large tomato - find the best summer one you can find! 6 to 8 oz fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced 2 Tbs shredded fresh basil Preheat the oven (with...
