I'm having neighbors over for dinner tonight but I planned the menu before this post. We are having roasted chicken, corn salad, chopped salad, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, and a chocolate bundt cake. But that quiche looks AMAZING. Going to try that next week.

It is my opinion that the reason for the yogurt craze is due to the perfect timing of Greek yogurt entering the American market and the book "French Women Don't Get Fat" which touts Greek yogurt as a perfect food (more or less). How Yogurt Became the Answer to Everything Food News |

This post couldn't of come at a better time! We have an Ikea kitchen in our vacation home and we love it and now my husband and I flip homes and use Ikea kitchens every time with great success. But we were curious about having custom doors built and now we can use Semihomemade. Thanks for the tip!

When I clean leeks I cut off the dark greens and bottom of the leek and then cut in half lengthwise. I run the halves under running water and use my thumb to flip the layers apart, similar to flipping through a deck of cards. I have also found the most grit to be between the first layer and the rest, so I usually discard that layer (which is often tougher than the other layers) and use the rest. Works like a charm!

I have a few different tips you could try. First of all, when you originally cook your chicken, undercook it a little bit. Most people cook their chicken for WAY too long. Experiment by shortening the cooking time so it is still a little pink in the middle. Then when you recook it the middle should end up cooked through instead of rubbery. The second tip is to poach your chicken in some water or broth. I have found this to keep my chicken nice and moist. It is also a good way to reheat chicken. And finally, you could stop reheating your chicken by pounding a breast flat and then cooking it in a non stick pan for a few minutes on each side. This method only takes a few minutes and will fix your rubbery chicken in a jiffy! Good luck. Best Way to Cook Chicken If I Want to Reheat It Later? Good Questions |

This is how I made my latkes on Saturday, except I just used cold tap water- no ice, and the starch took exactly zero time to settle! When my husband was finished wringing out the potatoes there was plenty of starch in the bottom of the bowl. Oh, I also used the food processor and just flattened the middle of the latke once I had it on the griddle.Yum! The Unexpected Trick That Makes the Crispiest, Tastiest Latkes Ever |

Ive been doing this for years, but I dont even bother with the holes. I just use the lid and only leave a little bit of space for the liquid- kind of like draining tuna or canned pineapple. A 5-Dollar 5-Minute Cocktail Shaker |

I thought it was funny she called this new book "foolproof" because I have found pretty much all of her recipes to be foolproof! LOL. As a matter of fact I cant wait for the first night of Hanukkah because I always make her corn chowder (minus the bacon) to go with the latkas.

I am bringing the mashed potatoes today and totally forgot to buy milk and butter! The good news is I read this post BEFORE I bought the goods so I ended up getting the fancy Irish butter and half and half. I added the butter before the liquid and then mashed to my hearts content. Yup, best potatoes ever. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. How To Make the Best Mashed Potatoes Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn |
