A Recipe I Wish More People Made, An Overnight Dough to Mix Tonight + More Recipes for A Snowy Weekend
|
Hi Friends, This week, as I found myself making my Great Aunt Rene's chicken for the millionth time, I found myself wishing more people would make it. It has become such a staple for me, not only because my family loves it, but also because I can make it ahead of time and leave it out — it tastes delicious at room temperature and also reheats beautifully in the microwave. The sauce is so, so tasty and so good with rice, which I make in the rice cooker, and which I find myself relying on more and more. I love these sorts of meals because it means my kids can help themselves as they wish — they can eat before practice, after, or both! I can set everything out at 4 pm and call dinner done! Anyway, Friends, if you've never made this chicken, I think you will love it, and I hope you find time to make it soon. Also, are you ready for the storm? And have you pulled out your fleece-lined leggings? My parents are in town, and I wish the weather had been a little more welcoming... Last night for dinner, I made Arctic char, roasted cauliflower, romesco (which I hadn't made in ages and which pairs so nicely with roasted vegetables of all kinds), and Lahey bread. Reminder: if you mix up some Lahey Dough tonight.... ... you will be rewarded with a crusty boule tomorrow 🍞 Stay warm, Friends! Have a great weekend ❄️ ❄️ ❄️
Review of the Week
"Low effort, high reward! This broth is just so much better than any broth one could buy in the store, and it’s extremely fast. I’m making it for the butternut squash soup. An amazing recipe!" — Jess PS: Here's that soup recipe:

Good morning, Friends. Twice in two weeks, I heard two women, my dental hygienist and a fellow hockey mom, describe their favorite crockpot meal: Place chicken breasts, taco seasoning, a jar of salsa, a can of black beans, and canned or frozen corn into a crockpot. Cook on low heat all day. Many of you know, I love my crockpot for beans (see here, here, and here). But as my blog's recipe archives reflect, I have had little success with my slow cooker otherwise. So I was skeptical as I found...
Greetings from Buffalo, Friends! I am here, of course, for a hockey tournament, and, incredibly, the sun has been shining, a gift as every game is being held at an outdoor rink. Yesterday, as I watched in my fleece-lined leggings, wool socks, and down vest, I was sweating! I had to strip a layer! How nice?! This week, I made a chocolate variation of this favorite whipped cream cheese frosting. If you are unfamiliar with this recipe, let me quickly review its virtues: it calls for cold cream...
Hi Friends, This week my oldest daughter turned 16, and we celebrated with cake and a trip to the DMV, which was shockingly painless. While she won't be making any solo trips to the grocery store or shuttling her siblings around for another six months, the prospect of having another driver in the house is thrilling. This week, too, the giant sandwich roll experiments continued, and I've finally posted the recipe. As noted in previous newsletters, this recipe is inspired by Jim Lahey's...
