Curry Chicken Salad

Yeah I didn’t do all that stuff. I just added madras curry powder to the mayo and chicken.

Soy & Cider-Braised Chicken with Glazed Sweet Potatoes

I used skinless thighs and with that made some adjustments, accordingly. I tossed the chicken with the spicy seasoned salt, then used vegetable oil to replace the rendered chicken fat (not a great replacement, but what can you do). And cooked the onion, jalapeño and garlic. I used a Normandy Cider (rest for me), to deglaze the pan and then followed the recipe after that. Only I braised for a bit longer, because the chicken was raw, when I put it in for braising, as opposed to partially cooked.

I was surprised that my normal grocery store had white sweet potatoes, but I was not that surprised that they weren’t in the system, so I got them at a bargain, I’m guessing. Never bought white sweet potatoes before.

As a note, I overbought chicken stock a bit ago, and finally have made it through them all, with this dish (well half of the last box).

I made jasmine rice but instead of pepper added the spicy seasoning.

I really enjoyed this.

Baked Mac and cheese

This is a return to a favorite. This is a nice base that you can flex a little bit on, without having the sauce break or etc.

Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Potatoes

I forgot to add the chili crunch at the end, but these were still quite good.

Pork Burgers

These ended up being lamb, since I found ground lamb first. Good as always.
