Main Dishalicious

Whew, that’s a mouthful! (hahaha)

I’m not sure why I keep posting chicken recipes – you’d think we never eat anything else! I think it’s because chicken is the most versatile main dish – you can do so much with it, unlike pork or beef or chicken. Since I love chicken and mushrooms, and my family loves cheese and whatever I do with chicken and mushrooms, we’ve got this yummy recipe!

Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted! I have a million pictures, but have been very busy with work and other activities (including: teaching Art Literacy, spearheading a Youth Group Room remodel, speaking at conferences, re-painting my kitchen, dealing with pets, dealing with tweens… Anyway, it’s been a very wet spring here – [...]

Oh, goodness. I woke up to a sore throat and pounding headache. It’s going to be 86 degrees (that’s hot here in the Williamette Valley) – being sick in the summer heat is not a recipe for angeliciousness.

Then I went into the garage to get out some chicken for supper – only to find the outside freezer defrosting. A boy didn’t close the door all the way and it sat ajar overnight. AAAGGGHHH. This has happened before, and we had to lock the freezer. We stopped locking it about a year ago (such a pain), but it looks we’ll have to start doing it again. Unlocking and re-locking the freezer helps remind them to make sure the door is shut.

Fortunately, most stuff was OK, but I wasn’t taking chances with the beef roast. Since it’s going to be hot today and I don’t want to be hovering over the stove at the peak of the afternoon heat, I decided to make a family favorite: slow cooker french dip sandwiches. I’m posting the first half right now, just in case you’re in the mood to stick something in the slow cooker.

This picture does not do the dish justice – it was awesome, and even the kids loved it! I picked up some pork sirloin roasts at Costco today (such an awesome price, & Costco meat is always premium), along with a few beef roasts. Which to make for dinner? I opted for sirloin – but [...]

So far, I’ve made about 10,000 versions of Sunday Roast Chicken, including the Barefoot Contessa’s version (a family favorite). Each time, Mr Lici says I’ve outdone myself. Until the next time, when I apparently outdo  myself again. Last night’s whole crockpot chicken was another feast of “mmm… yummm… holy cow, just one more piece… this [...]

My BFF, Megs, and I try to make a lunch date at least once a month – we call it “lunch therapy.” Our favorite couch? P.F. Changs, where we share a bowl of spicy chicken noodle soup with brown rice, sauteed mushrooms and a nice (i.e. least expensive) bottle of white wine. Changs is awesome [...]
