    This is a combination of a lot of recipes. It should work well in a convection oven or an air fryer. I have to try it on a regular baking oven to see if it gets as crispy. One of the keys to great tasting chicken is to season the chicken before you add the…

    Notes: This is an updated procedure for making Beef Stew. It is still excellent but this process is much easier than trying to heat a large dutch oven or Le Creuset style pot on the glass cooktop. I have an induction top and it is very hard to control the heat with cast iron pots.…

    Serves 6-8 I made this for 2021 Christmas Lunch. The Balsamic Glaze was an afterthought because the dish needed more acidity. I think it could use even more. We didn’t have parmesan so we used a wine infused sharp cheese. We used a zester to grate the cheese. We tossed in some of the grated…

    This recipe is the equivalent of a single, small, 12 oz. box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. They make another version of the powdered cheese called Big Daddy Mac.
