Chicken Muffuletta
by AndiatBettyCrocker 3/7/2011 1:20:00 PM

I have New Orleans on my mind, since tomorrow is Mardi Gras Day. A speciality of New Orleans, muffuletta sandwiches originated in 1906 at the Central Grocery. These hoagie-style sandwiches start with a loaf of crusty Italian bread. The bread is split and filled with layers of cheese, deli meats and a mixture of chopped olives, celery, garlic, capers, olive oil and vinegar. Here is our version—a ...

Formal Tea at Sea
by jillbcooks 7/22/2010 8:22:00 AM

I just returned from a girls-only family trip that celebrated a milestone birthday for my mom. My sisters and nieces took mom on a cruise. It was a pleasure and a delight to see everyone and to enjoy their company in such a relaxed atmosphere. Cruises offer all kinds of entertainment and finding fun takes very little effort on a cruiser’s part. Cruises are also well known for the constant availability of food (my five year old niece and her two year old sister discovered room service and loved it). Combining entertainment and food one afternoon, we found ourselves at a formal tea. It was one of the highlights of my trip. All the treat...

Slow Cook Simple Summer Suppers – Italian Beef Sandwiches
by jillbcooks 6/17/2010 8:29:00 AM

I have been resisting turning on the air conditioning in the day, which also means that I have been resisting turning on the oven, since my kitchen really warms up when it is on. Instead, I have been using our slow cooker. My husband had a group of friends over for dinner last night, so I used the slow cooker to cook for a crowd. On the menu was Italian Beef Sandwiches. If you have never had Italian beef, it is chuck roast cooked long and low in liquid, with giardiniera (spicy Italian pickled vegetables), and then shredded and served on a crusty roll with provolone cheese. Italian Beef fo...

Cash for Clunker Appliances
by jillbcooks 8/25/2009 6:02:00 PM

I used to live in a condo with a refrigerator that needed to be shimmed so that it was level enough for the door to close. If you happened to slam the door too hard, the shims would slide out and the door wouldn’t close. If I was in a hurry, I’d take a kitchen chair and prop the door closed. We never got around to upgrading the fridge until we listed the condo with a real estate agent. If only there had been some incentive. Got a complaint about your current kitchen appliances? Dishwasher leaks? Freezer gets iced over? Recovery Act legislation might make now the time to buy. To further stimulate the economy, the ...
