Dijon Chicken and Artichokes

I can probably sit here and think of 100 excuses for why I haven't posted anything lately... but I'll just give you one: I've been busy! Seems that more and more often I'm using that excuse... Besides being busy I've been very sick lately, and spent the entire last weekend laying around being utterly useless... so cut a girl some slack.

Anyways, I've put together a lovely little weeknight dinner for ya. Here it is: Dijon Chicken and Artichokes.

Typically I make this dijon sauce with pork chops, but since I only had chicken breasts on hand, I used the same method with chicken that I normally do with pork! Horrah!
You should feel free to try this recipe but substitute thinly cut boneless porkchops instead of the chicken.

Dijon Chicken and Artichokes
(For two servings)
You'll need:
2 artichokes with the ends and sharp parts of the leaves cut off
8–10 oz of boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tsp olive oil
1 tbs butter
3 tbs dijon mustard
3/4 c chicken broth
1/2 c white wine
1/2 onion, sliced thin
1/2 C fat free hand & half (you can use heavy cream or regular half & half, I just wanted to keep the fat down)
salt and pepper
lemon
mayo

First off, bring a large pot of water to boil and put the trimmed artichokes in. Let the artichokes boil for 25-30 minutes, or until you can easily spear the top middle part with a fork. For those of you who have never had an artichoke, you're missing out! They are yummy and low in calories, a very good way to fit a fun vegetable into your diet. You should saw off the top sharp parts and end stem with a serrated knife, and the sharp bits of the leaves with kitchen scissors. You eat them by plucking off the leaves and eating the inner ends. I like to dip them in mayo or a simple lemon-mayo (I'll give you to scoop on that in a minute). You can also use a spoon to dig out the heart (the best part)!

While those are boiling away, salt and pepper one side of the chicken breasts. Put a nonstick pan on medium high heat and add in the butter and oil. Why both? The butter adds flavor and the oil has a higher burning temperature so it helps the cooking process. This combination will yield a yummylicious golden crust on the chicken. Put the chicken into the pan, the seasoned side down. While it is cooking, go ahead and apply salt and pepper to the unseasoned side. Turn the chicken over to get the golden crust on both sides and let it cook until it is no longer raw on the inside.


Take the chicken out of the pan and cover it with foil to keep it warm. Leave the heat on the pan, you'll need it.
Add the onions and cook them until they are soft and golden. Deglaze the pan with the white wine (basically, pour the wine in and scrape the yummy brown bits off the bottom with a rubber/plastic utensil). Then, add a bit of the broth. Let the liquids simmer down, and when it's reduced a bit, add the remaining broth, mustard, and half & half. Turn the heat down a bit and stir constantly until it's cooked down to a thicker consistency (you still want it to be liquid-y, but not too watery. Just think of what the perfect sauce would look like). Beware, the sauce will burn on the sides of your pan if the heat is too high, if in doubt: turn it down. It'll just take a bit longer to cook, but it'll be fine.

When that's done, make the lemon-mayo. (It's absurdly easy) Ready:
1) put 1–2tbs mayo in a little bowl
2) cut the lemon into 4 pieces
3) squeeze lemon quarter into bowl with mayo
4) salt and pepper
5) stir

Horrah.




Plate the artichoke with the dipping sauce, drizzle the chicken with your sauce, and enjoy!

Simple things

Sometimes, I just like the simple things. Especially when my schedule has been so hectic lately!  Juggling a lot of different responsibilities in school, work, and home sometimes doesn't leave a lot of time to cook up amazing new foods. So, sometimes, all I want is a day of simplicity, like yesterday.

Brian and I were in desperate need of sunshine, so we hopped on our bikes and went on a nice ride in Chico's beautful Bidwell Park.

(Anthony Dunn Photography)

I'd never been bike riding in the park, despite the fact that I have now lived in Chico for four years... and riding bikes in Bidwell Park is a fairly common weekend activity. Well- since I'd never been.... and I have a certifiably awful sense of direction... we got lost.... and our short, 15-minute bike ride turned into a six mile trek. Hah! No biggie, I needed the exercise. And something lovely awaited us at the end!

Earlier that day, we'd stopped by the grocery store and spotted those little mini seedless watermelons on sale. So, before we got on our bikes, I used a small knife to cut into the top of the watermelon, similar to how you'd remove the top of a pumpkin. We packed a spoon and ta-da! Perfect mini-watermelon-snack for two. People at the park gave our little watermelon so many why-haven't-I-thought-of-eating-it-like-that-looks that I felt quite proud of myself....
I know. I'm a dork. But sometimes it is all about the simple things!
What's left of our mini watermelon is chilling in our fridge.... and once we finish it up, I'll most likely make a watermelon-o-lantern with it. :)

Pretty Ratatouille

Last night, I went to the CSU, Chico AIGA unofficial potluck (wow, that's a mouthful). Up until yesterday morning I had no clue what I was going to bring. If you are one of my long-standing readers, then you'll remember the Rosemary Couscous I made for the last potluck. That went well, but I wanted something different.. and something healthy. The more I scoured the web for healthy potluck recipes, the more I realized- there aren't many. Most potluck recipes have some kind of starchy carb like rice or noodles, or are a meat dish... which I really wasn't up to making. SO, as I was searching the internet I decided to watch a movie. I looked over at my shelf of DVDs and what stared back at me? Pixar's Ratatoullie. Horray! I'd found my inspiration.



For those of you who aren't familiar with this film (or the dish), Ratatoullie (the food) is a French stewed vegetable dish. I've seen many recipes for it, all normally including some form of tomato, zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, and sometimes bell peppers. For the majority of the recipes, the veggies are chopped in rustic chunks... which is delicious, but in my opinion, not always very pretty.  I wanted to make something visually striking, so I decided to make Ratatoullie dish like I'd seen in the film.

Pretty Ratatoullie
You'll need
1/2 c tomato sauce
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
dried rosemary
1 zucchini
1 yellow squash
1 small eggplant
2 tomatoes (or 1 red bell pepper)
1 tsp olive oil
2 1/2 tsp fresh thyme 
garlic salt
pepper

Preheat the oven to 375º.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the tomato sauce. Stir it up and pour into the bottom on an oval baking dish (mine was about 91/2" long). [Garlic] salt and pepper liberally, and add a bit of the fresh thyme.

Now, cut the zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, and bell pepper (or tomato) into very very thin pieces.




Then, arrange the vegetables in the baking dish all stacked up against each other, starting on the outside and working around.... until it looks like this:


Drizzle the olive oil on top of your masterpiece, and then [garlic]salt and pepper liberally. Toss on the remaining thyme and cover with a piece of parchment paper that is approximately the size of the baking sheet. Put it in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the tomato sauce is bubbling up and the vegetables are tender and lovely. It should end up looking like this little beauty:


It was eaten up by my lovely designer friends at our potluck. I thought it was quite yummy, and will definitely make it again soon!

bad day BBQ

What's the perfect end to a horrid day?
Well... good food can't hurt, can it?
So, to cheer me up, Brian surprised me by firing up our charcoal grill,
here's what we made:

For me, nothing beats grilled veggies, pinapple, grilled Teriyaki chicken and Brian's burgers. 
It ended up being some killer grub despite the lack of planning.


Brian made his recent favorite: a bagel burger. Two hamburger patties between a Parmesan bagel (that we toasted on the grill) with grilled pinapple slices and ketchup, mustard, and relish. I always oggle at how he can put away a double burger made with a bagel... whenever I eat a bagel, I feel as though I've eaten a brick-not to mention with two beef patties between it- but Brian loves it! hah! He sure can gobble up some carbs (lucky duck)


I made a Teriyaki sandwich with some sliced chicken, grilled pinapple slices, red onion, cilantro, and a bit of lime juice. Along with the grilled red bell pepper and zucchini it was pure bliss and a perfect remedy for a crappy day. Yum!

Teriyaki Salmon with Roasted Veggies


Every once in a while, you have to pamper yourself. What better way than with food? One night my friend, Ashley, came over to hang out, and we decided to make dinner. Brian has always been better at cooking fish than I am, so I decided to let him handle the salmon, and I'd handle the veggies. This meal was so simple to make, yet it seemed so luxurious! Here we go:

Teriyaki Salmon with Roasted Veggies
1 lb asparagus
2 red bell peppers
8 oz salmon fillet
3/4 c Teriyaki marinade
1/4 c olive oil
salt & pepper
2 tbs grated parmesan

Preheat the oven to 400º.
For the salmon, unwrap from the package and cut into serving sizes. I typical healthy serving size of fish is 3-5ox (I normally go for 3 oz.) Tip: a 3 oz. piece of fish (or chicken or steak) is roughly the size of a deck of cards. Make sure to properly clean the cutting board and knife you used afterwards. Then, put the fish into a ziptop bag and pour the Teriyaki marinade into it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 25 minutes. (Note: I used ready-made Teriyaki marinade to save time, but if you'd like to make your own *more power to ya!* then here is a link to a very easy recipe: click here) When your 25 minutes are up, take the salmon pieces out of the bag and place onto a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes (this depends on how hot your oven actually runs... and how thick your pieces actually are. Just roast them until they're cooked through).

For the veggies, wash the asparagus and snap off the woody ends and lay them onto a baking sheet. Then, cut the bell peppers into desired shapes (be sure to remove ribs and seeds) and also lay onto the baking sheet. drizzle the veggies with olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast them for 15-20 minutes (until fork tender) and sprinkle with Parmesan. Easy enough.











chow down


You don't have to spend a truckload of money, or a truckload of time to pamper yourself. Fool your pallet into thinking you've paid a fortune at some fancy restaurant, and cook at home with your loved ones! I have never been much of a seafood person, but the more Brian makes fish for me at home, the more I like it! Maybe I'll become a seafood person after all.

Dinner out: Farm Star Pizza

So here's something fairly new, restaurant review. Horrah! I realize that many of you readers are not Chico locals, but then again, some of you are. And I think those that are Chico locals deserve to hear about the yum foodie foodie I eat out as well as at home. So, Brian and I went out to dinner with some of my design-friends. We went to this lovely place named Farm Star Pizza.


It was delicious.
So, what's the deal with Farm Star Pizza? Last night was the first time that I'd been there, and I'd heard many good things about it. Here's what I know: Farm Star Pizza is owned by the same people who own The Red Tavern. As far as I know, they use seasonal locally produced ingredients. So, like The Red Tavern, the menu changes periodically. We are blessed here in Chico with wonderful farmers' markets, and I'm pretty sure that's where Farm Star Pizzas gets many of their ingredients. They use Massa Organics (take a look at my interview from Greg Massa) whole wheat flour to create their (amaaaazziiinng) crusts and other quality ingredients including Pt. Reyes Blue Cheese and Pacific Sun Olive Oil.

Enough about the ingredients. How are the eats?

Fan-freaking-tastic. I must say, living in a college town has the benefit of affordable food. Eating out, though more expensive than eating in, is considerably more affordable here in Chico than in the SF Bay Area (where I'm originally from). Farm Star Pizza was a teeny bit more expensive than I like to pay on a regular basis (I paid $10.25 or so for a salad and the 12-inch pizzas range from $10-$14) but the food is worth every penny. 

I got the "Go Away Winter!" salad: To be honest I can't really remember every ingredient in this salad.. Sorry... but it was very good! I cleaned my plate.

I'd already started muching before I remembered to take a pic!

Brian got "The Matrix" pizza: three cheeses, braised fennel, caramelized onions, and (*drool*) pancetta.


Needless to say, it was two thumbs up. The crust on the pizza was so good, I would have eaten it totally bare. The combination of toppings was innovative and scrumptious. Some of the other designers got other pizzas like "Good Pig" (mozzarella, broccollini, pork sausage, and chili flakes) and "Spudzola" (Carmelized onions, heirloom potatoes, Gorgonzola, and thyme). According to them, their food was also fan-freaking-tastic.

So, my final word on Farm Star Pizza: GO.



foodie foodie!

Other notes on Farm Star Pizza: it is located at 2359 Esplanade, Chico, CA. 
They have their own little parking lot, so do not fear, you'll have a place to park. 
Not only do they have a wonderful selection of delicious foodie food, but they also have an impressive selection of beer (I didn't get a chance to ask about wine, but they do serve it).

blast to the past: egg in a basket. So easy, it doesn't even deserve its own post! hah!

I can explain.... I totally can explain for my unacceptable absence over the past couple of days...

Okay now I've got you expecting some extremely compelling reason for my not blogging yum yums your way, but the truth is: I've been busy. And I don't mean busy-just ignoring my lovely followers, or busy-I'd rather eat out (even though I have been eating out lately)

I mean busy:
1) It's Spring Break of my last semester as a college student
2) I've been clumsily navigating the realm of hand bookbinding to build my design portfolio (which I have been freaking out about, by the way)
3) I've been spending some much needed time with my family
4) I've been [trying] to work on the remaining portfolio pieces for my design portfolio (which need A LOT of love people... a lot)

So there is my list of excuses. Take 'em or leave 'em, but I've got yummies.



When I took these photos while making my egg in a basket, I laughed at myself a bit.
"Egg in a basket!" I said, "who doesn't know how to make an egg in a basket?!" But then I remembered, a few years ago, I'd gotten into the habit of eating an egg in a basket every morning. One morning, a friend was at my apartment and sat quietly as I prepared my breakfast. When I asked her if she'd like an egg in a basket, she simply stared at me and replied, "I'm sorry, a what?" An egg-in-a-basket-euphoria ensued as my friend enjoyed her first sample of my simple childhood breakfast. My dad would make these with my sister and me on special mornings when we were kids, and we'd go NUTS about it. So, in case you are one of those who has never had the pleasure of enjoying a simple, delicious, egg in a basket, here's how you make it:

Egg in a Basket
You'll need:
1 Slice of bread (I used sourdough but you can use any kind you like!)
1 egg
salt/pepper
small tab of butter

Put a frying pan onto the stove over medium/high heat. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. In the meantime, you need to prepare your basket.


Take a cup (or a biscuit cutter, or a cookie cutter...) and press it firmly into the center of your slice o bread. Twist it round a bit, then remove the inner circle.


Then, simply put the bread and little bread circle (I call it the baby-bread) onto the pan. Then, crack the egg right into the awaiting basket. Let the egg cook for a bit and then turn the heat down to medium or even medium low. The more I use eggs, the more I find that in most situations, you shouldn't rush them. Every time I get impatient with my eggs something goes wrong...

Anyways, allow the egg to cook until you can see that it has formed a solid layer of cooked eggwhites on the bottom side. Now is the perfect time to add salt and pepper. Take a spatula and flip it over!



Horrah! When the egg is cooked to your satisfaction (I like mine a teeny bit runny on the inside, but Brian likes his egg cooked all the way through tip: for those of you who like the egg cooked all the way through, try using a knife or fork to break the yolk before you flip it. This will allow the egg to cook more evenly, and you won't have burnt bread waiting for your egg to cook through!) remove it from the pan, put it on a plate, and put it in your mouth. I like mine with ketchup.

The Best of Processed Foods



deep fried twinkie... aka heart attack on a stick.

Now, I normally am against the idea of processed food. Sometimes I don't even consider "processed food" as actual food. You look on the nutrition label and most of the time you don't recognize a single thing!
BUT, cooking light recently published a rather interesting article on their site about the best and healthiest of processed foods. Worth a looksie if you ask me!

boy[friend]food

[heart-shaped pretzel]

Boyfood. In my case, boyfriendfood. Well, if you've got a boyfriend like mine, then you know that some couples have very different eating habits. For me, I'm all about the healthy, low[ish] carb (only when I'm not too lazy to cut carbs...) foods. For him, bring on the pasta, garlic bread, pizza... the list goes on. So, imagine my disgruntlement as I set out to cook dinner for us both. What do I do? Not to worry healthy foodies. There is a way.
Normally I find myself making two different dishes by using a few common ingredients. Tonight was no exception. I made Brian a tortilla BBQ chicken pizza and a salad for myself. Before you go throwing a hissy-fit let me just say, the salad was quite good. I certainly don't feel like I miss out much while I sit and chew my salad as Brian chows down on pizza. After all, what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't steal a bite?

Brian's BBQ Chicken Pizza

You'll need:
(2 pizzas)

2 medium sized tortillas
about 4 oz of chicken breast
3 tsp steak seasoning
(I used Chico Spice Co. Garlic and Pepper)
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 red onion
1/2 C shredded mozzeralla
1/3 C shredded pepperjack
4 tbs BBQ sauce

Start by preheating the oven to 400º. Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Place the raw chicken into a plastic zip top bag and add the steak seasoning to it. If you are a Chico local, I recommend using Chico Spice Co.'s Garlic and Pepper meat seasoning, I bought it from the Saturday farmers' market. If you don't have access to this, your favorite steak seasoning will be just fine. Seal and shake the bag until the chicken is covered. Put this bag into the refrigerator. Next, do the prep work. Chop the onion and pepper into small pieces and put the two tortillas flat onto the baking sheet. 

Pour a small amount of olive oil onto a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Let the oil heat up a little and then place the chicken on the pan. Brown on both sides until cooked through. Take it off the heat and set aside. While the chicken is cooling, spread 3 tbs of BBQ sauce onto the tortillas. Then, put the cheese on and the peppers/onions. 
The chicken should be cool enough not to cook your fingertips, so chop/tear the chicken into small bits (so it looks like "pulled chicken"). Place the chicken into a bowl, add the remaining 1 tbs of bbq sauce, and stir around until it is all coated. Split the chicken in half and put part of each pizza. Now it's ready for the oven! YAY!
Bake these for 15-20 minutes (just until the cheese turns golden brown) keep an eye on them though, don't want burnt pizza. So sad.

They should come out looking like this:



Cut with a pizza cutter or sharp knife and allow gleeful boyfriend to jump for joy and happy chow down.

As for me?

Bam.

Salad wham-ey! I reserved a piece of chicken for myself, chopped it up, and tossed it with baby spinach, spring mix lettuce, poppyseed dressing, and some peppers and onions that I also reserved from the pizza. NOM.

Problem solved. Two very different meals that share some key ingredients. Another Sunday night dinner conquered.

Tomato Free Salsa

I know, you hate me. But you know what?! I've been busy! Nonetheless I'm sorry for neglecting you of healthy yum yums. Here's something I've been saving to bring brightness to your chilly days. It's tomato free salsa that's to die for. I got the recipe from Lisa Ota ("Auntie Lisa" to me). She's an amazing woman, mother, aunt, and nutritionist at Sacred Bite (click to see her website). She believes strongly in the spiritual and bodily connection with food. She gave me this recipe and I knew I had to photograph it for you all to see. It's so easy, and SO good. Read on yum-seekers.

Sacred Bite Tomato Free Salsa:
Courtesy of Lisa Ota, Sacred Bite

You'll Need:

totally didn't mean to put an onion in this image... oops!
1 can of organic whole black beans (drained)
1 can of organic pinto beans (drained)
1 C corn (white or yellow/fresh or frozen)
1 red bell pepper (chopped into small squares)
1 yellow bell pepper (chopped into small squares)
1 C edamame
1 ripe avocado (peeled and chopped in cubes)
4 limes
1 tsp red pepper
1 tbs olive oil
salt and pepper


If you're using frozen corn, prepare it according to the package. If you're using fresh corn, boil it and remove from the cob with a sharp knife. Next, prepare edamame (if you're using frozen). Wash and cut the bell peppers into small squares. Place them into a bowl along with the drained cans of beans. Next, add the edamame, corn, and avocado.



Roll the limes on the counter with a good amount of pressure to release some of the juices. Cut each in half and juice them into a bowl. My limes looked pretty pathetic after I used my dad's citrus juicer on them! Then, toss the lime juice, olive oil, red pepper, and salt and pepper into the bowl with all the other ingredients in it until nice and mixed up! I've found that this salsa is, of course, delicious freshly prepared, but also is VERY good after it's had a little time to mingle. Give it an hour or two in the refrigerator and chow down!

This salsa is really great served with any type of tortilla chip. I made it a while back and tried it with Trader Joes's Veggie and Flaxseed Tortilla Chips (Auntie Lisa's suggestion) and it was amazing!

Project: Egg Sandwich

I am proclaiming a project!
If you read the List of 2011 post, you'll know that #4 on this list was to create the hypothetical menu for my extremely hypothetical dream-restaurant, called Egg Sandwich.



In another life, if I had strayed from design, I would have levitated toward a career in food (big surprise). So, in an effort to build my design portfolio, I proclaim that I will design the menu to Egg Sandwich! (Though, as a disclaimer, I must tell you that I am a terribly busy person, and will definitely abandon this project if another equally or more demanding project comes up. You have been warned.)

First thing's first. I need a menu. Though in the past I have been known for my legendarily delicious egg sandwiches, I certainly have not made up enough to make an entire menu! This is where you come in: if you do so fancy, I'd LOVE to hear any suggestions for menu items to be listed on Egg Sandwich's menu. It can be anything, from specialty egg sandwiches to drinks or even desserts. Anything goes. Hop to! Help a girl out, drop a menu-item-comment @ the bottom of this post.

Mocha-Cocoa Muffins with Espresso Glaze



Well hello everyone!
I've neglected you, so sorry about that. But I have something that will cheer you up!
Mocha Cocoa Muffins :]

After a long weekend of studying, I couldn't imagine a better way to unwind than to make muffins. Like I do every Sunday, I scoped the web for a new recipe (and after a lemon-poppyseed disaster that I will probably re-attempt later) I found this recipe from Joy of Baking for mocha muffins. With a few slight alterations, they turned out amazingly!

Mocha-Cocoa Muffins with Espresso Glaze

You'll need:
2 eggs
1/2 C buttermilk (or milk w/ white vinegar added)
1/2 C canola oil
1/4 C espresso
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 C flour
1/4 C cocoa powder
1 C brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp salt
1 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
2 tbs esperesso
3 tbs powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 375º and line a muffin pan with muffin papers (I used cute polka-dotted papers). In a medium sized bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, oil, espresso, and vanilla all together until well incorporated. Set this aside.
Then, in a larger bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and chocolate chips together.
Then, pour the wet ingredients into the larger dry ingredients bowl. Use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients together. Be careful not to overmix... this will yield a tough muffin.
Next, fill the prepared muffin papers up about 3/4 full (I filled them a bit higher, but oh well!) Bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes. You might want to test them with a toothpick (and see if it comes out clean).


While you're baking the muffins, now would be a good time to make the glaze. Simply mix the powdered sugar and remaining espresso together and presto!


Once the muffins are room temperature, drizzle the glaze on top of the muffins in a swirly pattern. The glaze will harden in about 10 minutes so don't worry.
Take a moment to admire the glory of the mocha-cocoa muffin, and enjoy!
