Fall is just around the corner, and soon leaves will be falling, temperatures will drop, and the nights will be getting longer. That is everywhere, except here in Florida. We will have longer nights, but nothing else changes. It will still in the 90's and leaves don't fall until spring. No matter where you are, it will be Thanksgiving before you know it.With the holiday, comes that all time favorite, TURKEY. My wife and I love turkey and eat it all year.  But for those of you who wait for Thanksgiving, here is a great recipe. I covered this before in the hot turkey sandwich recipe, but this gives more detail for creating the perfect slices of turkey. Since most holidays here are spent with a few friends who have no family in the area, I normally roast a breast. Ingredients 1 6 to 8 pound turkey breast. 1 medium onion 3 stalks of celery 2 to 3 medium carrots (or a handful of baby carrots) 1 clove of garlic 1 stick of unsalted butter. 2 cups no salt added chicken st...

We have been trying to eat healthier, and have chicken a few times a week. After a while, it does get boring. This is a quick, delicious recipe that will spice up mundane chicken. The key to juicy, moist, grilled chicken is to cook low and slow. When you rush and try grilling on a high heat, you end up with dry, tough chicken.  Ingredients: 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1/8 teaspoon powdered ginger pinch roasted garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt Begin by making a marinade.

Place chicken on the grill and lower the temperature to the grill's lowest setting. Mine drops down to about 325 degrees. Grill breasts for 10 minutes a side, then check with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should be at least 165 degrees for chicken. When the temperature is met, remove from the grill and allow about...

I was talking to my friend Erica at the Crumby Kitchen blog, about the most searched recipes on Google. A lot of the searches were for very basic recipes. Mention scrambled eggs, and you will get a hundred different ideas, most of them with a strong opinion. You should add milk or cream, never add milk or cream, high heat or low heat, everyone has their own ideas. This is my version, which has been enjoyed by many. The first step is choosing a pan. I use two different types in my kitchen, cast iron and stainless steel. Both produce excellent results. With a well seasoned cast iron pan, the key is to preheat it. I place mine in the oven and preheat at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes. Cast iron is a poor conductor of heat, but an excellent retainer of heat. Once preheated the cooking surface stays warm for a long time. CAUTION should be used when removing the pan from the oven. Remember it is 325 degrees hot and will cause serious burns without using a pot holder or handle ...
