Okay, fine! I’ll share my chicken cacciatore recipe (it’s Emeril’s recipe). It’s also a slow cooker recipe which makes it great to serve to guests when you don’t want to be distracted in the kitchen. Serve it over some pasta with a side of garlic bread and you’re done!
Meredith made her Caesar salad dressing that I love so much. There’s so much garlic in it, that despite those books about vampires, I knew I had nothing to fear. Really though, is there ever such a thing as too much garlic? I'll let her tell you about the croutons she made.
We finished the meal off with chocolate wine and the world's easiest tiramisu recipe. Delish!

I made croutons! Honestly- I don’t know why I’d ever buy croutons again. Wow- easy and SO good. I melted a garlic clove in some extra virgin olive oil with salt and red pepper flakes. Then tossed the freshly-cubed NEW YORK bread around in the pan until it was toasty and properly coated! OH- and the cacciatore was really yummy. I’d definitely keep in my recipe file as an easy go-to dish. But get the good cheese if you can. I’ve got a list of "must bring backs” for my next Long Island visit. It will probably require a large cooler.
Homemade croutons can make an ordinary salad extraordinary. The only problem with them (in my house, at least) is that I have to make double the quantity actually needed. They tend to disappear somehow....
ReplyDeleteYes- we definitely ate as many before dinner as we did with the salad!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I could've had leftovers. Instead, they were appetizers.
