Looks yummy and easy. My 2 favorite things.
Mine to – Thanks DiANE – had to double check cuz look next comment is Didi… Diane, Dina, Didi… LOL I have to really pay attention – hahaha
Yummmmmmmmm! Nothing like the smell of a home cooked meal! Nice job Mamasan!
Yum, yum, yum!!! Your pictures are decadent my friend! ♥
Thank you Didi – this has to seem pretty PLAIN to you my gourmet friend – LOL… and the pictures stink…. you are tooo kind!!
Who says it has to be gourmet all the time all day sweetheart? Did you see how easy my “ancho chili bacon wrapped chicken tenders were” on my vlog today? Gourmet is soooooo over rated honey!! The pic looks succulent and I’m coming to your house for dinner!!
Can I just mention that i freaking got home about 1 hour ago!! talk about a 16 hr day!! Don’t even get me started!! I’m so windblown, I think half of me is still in Batavia, LOL
I’m making Italian wedding soup for dinner tomorrow. I made Chicken Tikka Massala on Sunday for dinner. Didn’t use boneless chicken breasts, used bone in. Reserved 2 of them along with all the bones from the other breasts. Will simmer the nicely roasted bones with a couple of chicken cubes tomorrow. just finished dicing the carrots, celery & onions, have them in water. Took out the ground beef.
Tomorrow I will simmer the bones, add the veggies, frozen spinach, homemade meatballs, shredded chicken (reserved from Sunday) then the amazing pastina…
I’m making a quick bread with jalapeno and smoked gouda to go with it. Yeah baby!! Does that sound gourmet my friend? Not!! But it is delicious!!!
Oh, btw, what is going on with Ann’s blog?
LOL – Here is the difference… on your post today I immediately wondered if I could just soak the chicken in Redhot… BUT everything you say and describe sounds amazing !! I love wedding soup… i am anxious to hear how you do the little meatballs and that bread…. I must have some!!! I do have a question about Souvlaki… Can I marinate my chicken exactly as you describe on your Souvlaki Dip recipe, then make the sauce… then use both in open faced pitas rather than a dip?? I want it like I get it at Sparros… LOL… But tell me is that like a Mcds burger instead of a juicy delicious homemade??? LOL
And Ann’s host as been out for what – over 24 hours…. she must be flipping!!!
LOL, I know Ann is flipping, I know I would be!, LOL
Meanwhile, Regarding the chicken souvlaki dip, oh my heaven’s Michelle, your are a genius, true and true. That would make the most amazing chicken souvlaki sandwich!! You don’t have to puree the meat of course, just leave it the way they are in chunks, PERFECT!!!
We love Italian meatball soup too sweetheart. As for the Franks, you know your klling me right? You know I will have to come up and hug you to death right!! ♥
LOL Didi… fancy pants you… plain jane me… hahaha
