Cider Cooked Cornish Game Hens with Apple and Bacon
I love cornish game hens because they’re so sweet and small. They cook quickly. And with very little effort, they transform into a ridiculously impressive-looking main course. For as delicate as they may be, this is stick-to-your-ribs winter food. The little hens stay moist and succulent from an overnight soak in a sweet and brine-y [...]
Chicken Cooked in Cream
Warning: This isn’t diet food. This chicken is comfort food times ten. I was feeling a little under the weather when I got home from the office, and wanted something soothing, warm, salty, and rich. I don’t eat like this all the time. Honest. So, you know that thing your grandmother used to do with [...]
Crispy Sesame Chicken Nibbles
Win friends and influence people with Crispy Sesame Chicken Nibbles! Just kidding. (Sorry, I had a very long day at work.) Seriously, though, I defy you to serve these at a party and not have them almost immediately gobbled up. These little bits have two of the qualities that I love in a dish: They’re [...]
Thursday Bento
I’ve been long on deadlines and short on time this week. Luckily, the Angry Chef has been packing me a lunch every day. Today’s came in my spiffy new bento box. Allow me to present Thursday’s Lunch Happiness. Top tier Yellow rice. His version of my snap pea salad (minus the chili flakes). Bottom tier [...]

I blame the blogosphere for this one. At least for all the butter. In my travels online, I’ve become acquainted with the fabulously talented Kitchen Girl Jo, a fellow food blogger. Sometime in the last week or so, Jo posted a mouth-watering recipe for butter-poached lobster tails. She got me thinking about cooking things in [...]
Herb Roasted Chicken Legs with Root Vegetables
I know that fall is officially on its way when I start to roast chicken. Even though I bake pretty consistently year round, I’d never dream of roasting a chicken in the summer. For some reason, that’s a cold-weather ritual, at least for me. This roasted chicken/veggie combination makes a great, rustic autumn dinner. The [...]
BBQ Chicken
Slow cooked tonight. The aluminum foil in the back is a smoke bomb full of hickory chips. We don’t have a smoker (yet). This is a good way to get some honest smokey flavor into BBQ food without one. *** Copyright 2008 The Hungry Mouse™/Jessica B. Konopa. All rights reserved.
Fried Chicken, Done Right
I learned the proper way make fried chicken about five or six years ago when I worked for a friend of mine. She was part owner of a caterer/cafe, which has since (sadly) changed hands. I was working as a freelance writer at the time, and working at the shop got me away from the [...]
