Chicken Alfredo

By David

My wife had some extra cream cheese spread, so I whipped up a quick Alfredo sauce to go with some chicken and rotini pasta. Unfortunately, did not have cream on hand, which would have kicked this up to an 11.

Baked Chicken Fingers and Fries

By David

Chicken Fingers and Fries, all baked in the oven! A slightly-more-healthy and slightly-less-tasty alternative to the deep fryer. Served with Apricot Chutney and (of course) beer.

Bonus: Your house and clothing does not reek of lard.

Cupcake!

By Michael

Prairie Girl Bakery cupcakes have become a staple in my office. Best consumed at every meal, or meeting. Side effects include sugar rush, diabetes, goodwill, and happiness. Cupcakes pictured above are Red Velvet, and Vanilla Coconut.  

Mama's Chicken and Peas

By David

Chicken thighs fried in bacon fat and then braised in home-made turkey broth. Served with homefries and bread (also home-made).

Inspired by Smoke's Poutinerie's Mama's Poutine.

Meat Mondays: Lechon

Artist's Desription:

If there’s one thing I love about my Filipino side, we know how to feed a family – and then some. Don’t even try to test our rotisserie skills, nobody roasts a suckling pig like we do. Crispy crunchy crackling skin housing incredibly flavorful and juicy meat. See that gaping absence between the head and the butt? That shit’s all in my belly! Sorry I didn’t take a before picture, I was too busy throwing elbows to get first dibs on the skin. This little piggy comes courtesy of Miracle Thieves at The Pearl, the inaugural Philippines edition of their Cultural Series.

Meat Mondays is your weekly post of pretty protein. For the month of May, Ilona will be making Mondays that much better.

You CAN make Friends with this salad!

By Michael

Generally speaking at Taste du Jour, we all believe that "You don't make friends with salad", but this salad has changed the world. These fresh greens are accompanied by apple smoked bacon, and freshly grated parmigiano. The piece de resistance are the pecans that were toasted in bacon fat, and candied with real Canadian maple syrup.

Life = Changed.
