What's Cooking: rotisserie chicken and more

 


Another quick meal idea is rotisserie chicken from the store. Of all the rotisserie chickens we've tried over the years, we like the rotisserie chicken from Costco and Walmart. In addition to the chicken, we like to get the french bread and the caesar salad from Costco. For Walmart, we like to get the Hawaiian rolls and another side like potato salad to go with the chicken. This is especially helpful when we're traveling. The family gets a hearty meal, and the cost is better than eating out at a restaurant.


For home, when you’re done with the chicken, be sure to save the bones for broth and whatever leftover chicken for another meal later. I like to use the broth for chicken soup, and depending on how much left over chicken there is, I use it for chicken and broccoli pasta.

Of all the -isms ...

  Of all the -isms in our culture today, this one is often ignored and up there with the most nefarious. I’m talking about nepotism. This is because it is so stealthy. It is not obvious. You never know who is related to whom, either by blood or by marriage.  Unfortunately, you don’t get to choose who your family are. The treachery within family is stuff of legends and timeless novels.

When it comes to nepotism, there are tell-tale signs over time, emphasis on time. There are certain people who seem to get away with everything. Rules for you but not for them. Some of these people aren’t qualified for the job, and yet they have been promoted countless times to the top just like that. Then there are some people who haven't done much and yet they’re bestowed with awards and recognitions nonstop just for showing up. Meanwhile, the rest of us are...

What’s Cooking Vol. 4: Garlic Bread

  This is a side. It’s really nothing, but it’s one of our favorite no meat dishes, so I thought I’d share this as an idea for a side during Lent.  What you need: - bread - butter - garlic seasoning - shredded Parmesan cheese If you have a loaf of bread, it’s even better. It works with everyday sliced bread as shown in the image above. Melt the butter in the microwave until it is soft enough to mix but not liquid. It doesn’t take long, like several seconds. The amount of butter varies depending on the bread and how much parmesan you’d like. Mix the butter with garlic seasoning and the shredded parmesan cheese. Spread it on the bread and put it in the oven or toaster oven. Baking time will vary depending on how toasted you like your bread. Bake until the butter is melted into the bread or until the parmesan cheese is slightly toasted.  There are many garlic seasonings out there, but this Weber one is my favorite, not salty, just herbs and garlic. The same goes for the s...
