Blueberry Muffins from Bouchon Bakery

These were okay muffins, but nothing special. I'd been led by the instructions to believe they would be something out of the ordinary - they have molasses, honey, lots of butter, and rest in in the fridge... read more >

Chicken Meatloaf with Smoky Tomato Sauce : page 90

This is an excellent meatloaf recipe. We just made it again last night and I was reminded again how much I like it. Because it's made with ground chicken (we use ground chicken thighs), it's not overly heavy. The addition of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce give it a nice undertone of umami.

It's fantastic with mashed potatoes, and overall great comfort food. We often skip the smoky tomato sauce and just use ketchup, but it's nice to go to town and do the whole thing when you have time.

Sometimes with the leftovers I like to put them with some tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese in a panini and grill for lunch. Mmmmm....

Chicken Quesadillas with Smoked Mozzarella : page 7

This is a great way to prepare quesadillas. Although we haven't been able to find smoked mozzarella here, we just use a mixture of regular mozzarella and cheddar. We leave out the jalapeno and just use the great chipotle Tabasco sauce. We also add a cooked onion. Very tasty!

Double Potato Gratin : page 119

This is a nice side dish, much like a low fat scalloped potatoes. It is important to use the sweet potatoes as well as the Yukon Golds, and we've found that putting some sliced onion in the layers can also be nice. Does have a tendency to fall apart a bit, but tastes good!
