Clean My Kitchen!


My brother-in-law is amazing. I love him dearly. Growing up I always wanted a little brother and I got one when I married Ryan. Granted he’s only 4 months younger than me but still. Dream come true! He’s currently down under filming a movie on the Gold Coast of Australia (he’s a producer). I took this picture just for my Seaners. Cause at family get togethers and especially at Thanksgiving, he does all of the dishes. Every single dish. And then he wipes down my counters and I praise him a million times for being the best brother in the world. But he was gone when we had a birthday party for my mother-in-law so this picture is for him. A show of the mess I cleaned up, all by myself. And how much he is missed. Not just for his cleaning kitchen capabilities….

Weird name, right? I know! It’s a Hungarian recipe. And it’s one of the best ever cheese spreads you will ever make in your kitchen. It’s simple and so tasty. The original recipe calls for caraway seeds but I think caraway seeds are truly pure yuck so I omit them from my recipe. However, if you like caraway and you are absolutely positively sure that your family and friends who will devour this spread love it as well, add it in to your own taste.

Simon and Garfunkel Chicken Stuffed with Gorgonzola Cheese

Dinner, Grub. | August 1, 2011 | By

Gosh, that’s a mouthful. But I feel like it needed its whole title, ya know? Sing with me – parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme….Here is the deal. I am SO NOT a big fan of chicken breast. It just seems boring. I like it in my salads but honestly, to BBQ chicken breast? It usually comes out dry and yuck. Now, my father-in-law LOVES chicken breast. Being a loving daughter-in-law, when he came over for dinner one night I made him this chicken. On the BBQ. (well, Ryan grilled it. He’s the grill master. Which reminds me, get ready cause I have a Labor Day weekend grilling extravaganza coming your way – time to get your man involved! Okay – back to this chicken now.) When I took the first bite I thought to myself, “Holy Bananas!! That’s YUM!” Add the cilantro corn and fire roasted artichokes on the side and it was a completely yummy meal. I borrowed the seasoning ingredients from my pals at Amazingribs.com and then stepped it up a notch by stuffing this chicken with gorgonzola cheese. Here we go peeps!

Hubby’s Note: Men love fire. Men love food. Thus, men should grill. I learned how to grill about a year ago from Craig “Meathead” Goldwyn on his site www.amazingribs.com. It’s so much more than ribs and if you are a man, you need to check it out. If you have a man in your life, you need to send him there for tokens of wisdom such as “If you boil ribs, the terrorists win”. Anyway, I found this spice rub (and the S&G moniker) on Meathead’s site. And my amazing wife pumped it up a notch. Hubby inspired, hubby approved!
