Food
As I write this, I have just finished cleaning banana chunks out of my hair. If you are a trauma mama, you don’t even need to ask how they got in my hair.
Anywho, as I posted last week, I’ve been trying to hone my cooking skills and have been enjoying exploring traditional recipes from Barbara Swells books. I tried one last night called “Bonnie’s Chicken,” and it was such a hit that Hubby was coming up with creative ways for me to make it AGAIN very soon.
It’s so easy, I can tell it to you from memory.
Chicken (I bought a whole chicken already cut up. The recipe says that legs and thighs are best, but the breasts turned out so moist and tender.)
1 cup soy sauce (I used Worcestershire sauce.)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white wine or sherry ( I used white wine.)
1 Tbs dry mustard
garlic ( I used about a table spoon minced)
ginger (The recipe called for fresh grated, I used powdered and it turned out just fine.)
Combine sauce ingredients and pour over chicken in a roasting pan. Bake at 300 for 2 hours.
Drool.
I served it with spring mix salad and loaded au gratin potatoes. We found a really yummy strawberry vinegrette dressing for the salad that complemented the chicken really well. To me, the chicken had an almost Asian BBQ flavor. So, so yummy. I will be making this one again soon.
And again, these are just books I enjoy. I’m not being compensated to review them.
Blessings!

I came here from Diana’s blog to hear your ranting and instead found a dinner solution. Thanks so much! Hang in there! Trauma sucks!
That’s great!
We’ve got to get it where we can.
