I know this sounds like a crazy recipe, but the Garlic, Garlic Chicken is a keeper.  The garlic roasts to a nice, nutty, sweet flavor, perfect with a slice of bread. A neighbor was overwhelmed with garlic this fall, so gifted me with a couple of large bulbs. And whole chickens were on sale, so it seemed like a perfect time to bring this recipe out again.

I first had it at friends’ house, and I was as skeptical as you are now, but trust me, it’s as yummy as it sounds crazy.

Chuck Roast was on sale again this week, and I was feeling the need to make something I could use with salads or tortillas or both. The week looks super busy, so having a big batch of this will take a bit off my to-do list.

Which are also known as lobster rolls, as they are perfect filled with lobster salad on a hot summer day.  These are top-cut buns that are easily toasted on the sides and are mostly found in New England.

So many veggies are ripening at once. I spent the weekend prepping tomatoes, pickling jalapenos and cucumbers. I think the bulk of it is done.

I’m not big on deep frying anything, but I love orange chicken, so I wanted to find a way to make it so it was still crisp without all the oil and breading. I found the perfect ingredient to produce that result: potato starch. I’ve been using it for a while now, and it makes the most perfect Oven Baked Chicken – I’ve been substituting it for the bread crumbs, combining it with crushed rice chex.
