A Lemony Chicken Piccata Supper
Welcome to a typical Thursday in our home. One of the benefits of retirement is that we get to enjoy home cooked meals everyday, not just on the weekends.

Today is National Chicken and Waffles Day. When it comes to Chicken and Waffles, most of those “in the know” have heard that we can thank Harlem’s bleary-eyed jazz musicians for this combination. As the story goes, these entertainers often frequented the after-hours clubs of Harlem. It was too late for dinner, but there was left-over fried chicken available. It was also too early for breakfast, yet the cooks had already begun to whip up waffle batter. The two just naturally found their way together.

Sunday Chicken doesn’t need to be Southern Fried or Roasted. Both are delicious, but sometimes we like to kick back with a creamy one-skillet supper. Easy, relaxed and delicious. This is one of those moments.

I’ve picked this recipe to share today for two very good reasons. First, with the exception of some slices mushrooms and green onions, there isn’t much in the way of “dangerous” prep work involved. Secondly, Spain has a heavy influence in California cuisine.

In 1993; Campbell’s Soup put out their Quick and Easy Recipe Cookbook. Now they may have published hard-sided cookbooks before this; and maybe they still do. All I know is that mine is from 1993. And now that we’re “stuck” inside more; I’m pulling out some recipes from the past to shake things up a bit. Gotta get creative since most of our meals are home-cooked these days. Think of it as going back to my roots if you will.

Today is the Day of The Mushroom Day. This is not to be confused with National Mushroom Day, October 15 or National Stuffed Mushroom Day, February 4. How many days can fungi have? Looks like at least three to me. Now Stuffed Mushrooms, I get the distinction. But Mushroom Day and Day of the Mushroom – come on now. That’s really pushing it.
Italian Dressed Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs
First off, let me say I am a big Paul Newman fan. When I was a young girl, I think he was my first Hollywood crush. But that’s not the reason I like the Newman’s Own food line. Newman’s Own does good work while making a delicious produce. The salad dressings are particularly delightful, and perfect for marinades, too.

Roasted Chicken Thighs Caramelized Lemons
Caramelize anything and the flavor just naturally pops. It doesn’t matter – onions, pan seared asparagus, even lemons just naturally taste better once caramelized. There’s something about heat releasing the natural sugars that brings a new dimension to the dish.

Chicken Thighs with Mushroom Sauce
While most varieties of mushrooms are available year-round, many reach their peek season in the fall and winter. That means now. It explains why I yearn for mushrooms more this time of year. While we might not be aware of it, I think our internal “desires” are very much season driven.
