Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ

Chicken thighs are inexpensive, delicious, and foolproof! That's why they get top billing in this collection of dinner recipes...

โ€‹Chicken Thigh Dinnersโ€‹

Want to know how I brown skin-on thighs?

I struggled for years trying to brown skin-on chicken in stainless steel pans (the way all the chefs tell you to do) or in my enameled cast iron Dutch ovens ~ no matter what I did or how patient I was, my chicken skin would stick.

I finally discovered the simple secret: a nonstick pan! I heat a bit of olive oil and butter in a large non-stick pan, then add the thighs, skin down, being careful not to over crowd the pan. That's it! It gives you that wonderful crispy golden brown with that awful sticking.

โ€‹The BEST Chocolate Sheet Cake ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

Just because I love chocolate I added a cup of finely grated bitter-sweet (dark) chocolate to the batter, because I can hardly ever have enough chocolate :-)) Was inspired by Starbucks double chocolate cocoa mix.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isnโ€™t that what itโ€™s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

pound cake

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ If you only master one baking recipe I think the perfect pound cake would be a great choice :) Perfect Pound Cake Pound cake is a pretty straightforward combination of butter, flour, eggs and sugar, but within that framework there's a surprising amount of wiggle room. I tried several different variations before I settled on the best. It's soft, fragrant, and moist. (I hate it when a cake dries out minutes after I slice it.) I doubled down on the vanilla using my homemade vanilla...

biscuits

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ I had fun sifting through the Great Island archives for the most popular recipes from the months of April ~ from 2011 all the way up through 2025. April faves start off strong with delicious biscuits made with an interesting folding method ~ have you tried that yet? It really does make the most amazing layers! I think they'd be perfect with your Easter ham. Sometime this month the rhubarb's gonna hit your supermarket and you're going to want to have my rhubarb butter recipe...

French apple galette

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ How about a day trip to France? Rustic French Dessert Recipes If the mere mention of French desserts conjures up the 3 โ€œFsโ€ ~ FUSSY, FANCY, and FINICKY, think again. Unlike the intricate pastries in elegant patisseries, my homemade treats focus on taste over perfection. Like my apple galette, above, where caramelized apples and buttery pastry come together in a perfectly imperfect way. These desserts invite you to roll up your sleeves and enjoy the process, imperfections and...
