Chicken Roll-Ups – Tender and Succulent!

These Chicken Roll-Ups are so good! The dish is easy to throw together and the crumb coat stays lovely and crisp, whilst the chicken is tender and succulent.

 

I made them right away instead of freezing them.

A little fiddly to roll up, but that may have been me getting a bit too vigorous with flattening my chicken breasts! Was totally worth it though as it was delicious!

I think this is going to go into the weekly rotation menu. At a minimum, I will absolutely be making them again!

Cheese Crisps – Roasted Cheesy Snacks

These Roasted Cheese Crisps are very versatile….sprinkle them into a green salad, use with hors d’oeuvres, serve with cocktails, or just snack on them!

 

They’re also great as a garnish on macaroni and cheese.

Lots of different cheeses can be used too. Just make sure you use a hard cheese….if it’s too soft it will just melt and spread to form a uniform sheet of cheese in your pan.

You can also play around with the flavorings… I’ve just added the red pepper but you can use sweet or hot chile powder or add some cumin, fennel or coriander seeds, lightly crushed. Herbs like rosemary or thyme can be added as well.

  • 12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Do Nothing Cake – Delicious Comfort Food

This Do Nothing Cake is a rich dense cake-like my mother-in-law used to make in rural East Texas. One you would take to family gatherings

A Perfect Eye of Round Roast Beef

I finally discovered a method that produces a Perfect Eye of Round Roast Beef every time. One that’s cooked to my liking perfectly.

 

You can cook it to medium or even rarer in the center. The key is to use a well rounded and evenly shaped roast!

I like to use an eye of round roast.

The seasonings are up to you. I listed very basic seasonings, but I use different meat rubs at times, or whatever I’m in the mood for.

While there are not enough pan drippings to make gravy, the juices make a lovely au jus to accompany the beef.

This works for any size roast and couldn’t be easier.
