What we didn’t foresee is the impact this collection would have on others or how it would become a catalyst for meaningful, productive and sometimes very personal conversations.”
~Founder, Julie Marie Chavez

Orange Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

30 11 2011

This recipe comes from Valerie Rempel, who is the sister to one of our Adrian’s Staff members, Denise Heizelman.  Valerie lives in California, and it is always a treat for all of us when she comes home to visit her family.  We love to go for coffee with her!  Our daughter, Jenny made this last night and it was delicious!  I thought you might like a nice, simple meal that is a little out of the ordinary…after all, one cannot live on Christmas Cookies alone!  (We could try!)

Orange Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Poultry seasoning
Salt
Pepper
4 slices bacon (we used double :-), and used the thick, peppery kind!)
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 c. orange marmalade

Preheat oven to 375°. (350 if using a glass baking dish) Sprinkle each chicken breast with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. (Be generous with the poultry seasoning!)  Wrap each piece of chicken with a slice of bacon and place in baking dish with bacon ends tucked under the breasts.  Melt the butter, Worcestershire sauce and marmalade in the microwave, stirring until combined. Pour evenly over the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts. Bake until chicken is done and the bacon is crisp, about 25-30 minutes.   Valerie says “I found a version of this recipe on the internet where it was credited to Peggy Trowbridge Filipone at the About.com website.  Il like recipes that are easy to adapt to the size of the crowd, large or small.  This is especially nice served with wild rice and a green salad. “

Jenny made this on a cool winter evening…it was delicious!  This recipe is featured in our “Between Friends” Cookbook…Available at Adrians.

THANK YOU for sharing the recipe Valerie!

If you’ve got a family favorite, I would love to have you email your recipe to me… vicki@adriansboutique.com  THANK YOU!

Barbeque Meatballs

29 03 2011

Donna's Barbeque Meatballs

Welcome back to our Blog…today’s featured recipe comes from a talented cook, Donna Greenleaf, from Pratt, Kansas.  We have featured some of her other recipes in our Adrian’s E-Newsletters, and she certainly knows her way around the kitchen!  Hope you will enjoy these deliciously sweet meatballs.  Perfect freezer dish!  Divide up the recipe for a “eat some now, freeze some to give away or serve later” kind of meal.

Start with fresh ingredients…

I had such a sweet note from a friend, Shirley Grose, from southern California..”…I also just printed off the chicken salad recipe and the chicken enchiladas. I do cooking for sick people in our church from time to time–new moms, people who are down on their luck, etc., so I want to make some of these recipes and package them in those freezer pans with cardboard lids, in quantities that would feed the # of people in their families (i.e. 2 parents; 1 kid), etc. These recipes are giving me new ideas.”  This is EXACTLY what I wanted to happen with our recipe Blog, newsletters, etc.  Homemade food is such a blessing to families or individuals.  Thank you for your compassion and willingness to serve Shirley!

Farm fresh eggs...a treat!

This is such a simple recipe…just mix up all of the meatball ingredients together in a large bowl.  Squish it really good and mix thoroughly.  Then form into meatballs.  Line them up in a single layer in a 9 x 13 pan.

Barbeque Meatball Recipe

We actually made about 1 1/2 times this recipe and made a meatloaf out of about a third of the mixture.

We decided to make a Meatloaf too!

Mix up the sauce and pour over meatballs. Bake at 350 for about an hour.This will be delicious served with a potato casserole, over rice, and a perfect dish to share at a Potluck or to share with another family.  YUM!  Thank you Donna for sharing your recipe!

Barbeque Meatballs

Meatballs:
12 oz. evaporated milk
3 lbs. ground beef
2 c. oatmeal
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 eggs
1/2 c. onion, chopped
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. chili powder

Mix all ingredients; shape into balls the size of walnuts. Place in a single layer in a 9 x 13 pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.

Sauce:
2 c. catsup
2 c. brown sugar
2 T. liquid smoke
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Mix all together and pour over meatballs.  Bake for about one hour at 350 degrees.

*Note: If frozen, allow to thaw in the refrigerator for about 24 hours, then bake as directed or until bubbly. Click Here for Easy Print Recipe.

Jenny’s Chicken Salad

21 03 2011

Jenny's Chicken Salad

Cool & refreshing on a warm spring or summer day, homemade Chicken Salad is just hard to beat!  We are continuing our series on Comfort Foods that are also Freezer Friendly, but are going to break away today from that for this post.  For those of you that have just discovered our blog, right now we are journaling through a day that we spent filling the freezer for our daughter-in-law, Cassie while she is recovering from some health issues.

Start with a Rotisserie Chicken

Our recipe today steps away from the freezer meals, because they were also in need of something that was just ready to grab out of the fridge for an easy to fix lunch. We started with a nice Rotisserie Chicken from the Deli.  Skin & de-bone the cooled chicken, then tear or cut into bite sized pieces.  We used one whole chicken.

Dice the celery

Dice the celery…this gives the chicken salad some great texture and CRUNCH!  This recipe comes from an experience our daughter, Jenny had while working at a great little diner one summer during college.  It is a light and delicious Chicken Salad that is refreshing served on a nice hearty bread, a light croissant, or on a lettuce leaf as a salad.

Halve your Red Grapes

Next, prepare your red grapes.  Wash and stem them, then slice in half. Jenny learned so much about made from scratch cooking during the weeks she worked at the diner!  (Note to self…we’ll have to feature the homemade Cream Puffs someday soon! 🙂

We go for the REAL mayonnaise...Hellmanns!

Mix up the sauce that holds it all together using Real mayonnaise, sugar, salt & pepper. It’s starting to look like Chicken Salad!

Serve on a hearty wheat berry bread, a light croissant, or on a lettuce leaf.  Refreshing and delicious!

Chicken Salad on Croissant

Any church potluck will confirm the fact that there are hundreds of great Chicken Salad recipes out there that are family favorites! We hope you enjoy this very simple one. Click here for easy print recipe.

Chicken Salad Diner Style

1 prepared Rotisserie chicken, cooled, deboned and torn into bite sized pieces
1 1/2 – 2 1/2 cups seedless red grapes, cut in half
3 – 5 stalks celery, finely diced
1 1/2-2 T. sugar
1 cup real mayonnaise…(really the REAL mayo!)
salt & pepper (optional)

Mix all ingredients together.  Add a little more mayonnaise if needed.  Chill thoroughly if you can wait! Delicious served on a fresh croissant, hearty wheat bread, or beautifully arranged on a lettuce leaf.

This is such a simple recipe, but delicious!  An option would be to add some slivered almonds or chopped pecans, but my family likes it better without the nuts. Pretty enough to serve at a ladies luncheon, and hearty enough that the guys even like it!
