we had homemade pizza that I cooked on my new oven ceramic baking stone. it really does taste amazing, just like a brick oven. (which I've only ever had in a restaurant) then around 7 I cooked steaks. they were a gift from my BIL, and I don't know where he gets them...but they are AWESOME. melt in your mouth.

Biscuits, cookies, pizza.........whatever, ALL taste better and never come out with burned bottoms! LOL
Well, here is how I do it...
- Perpare your salad mix how you like it, before you cook the chicken. This way the chicken will still be hot when you serve it. I like the cheese to melt a little on the salad. Also, I toss the drressing into the mix, before putting the chicken on. Again, because I like the chicken good and hot when you eat it. Tossing after you put the chicken on cools the chicken some.
- Liberally coat skinless chicken boobies with lemon pepper. For a little more zip, let them marinate for a few hours in lemon juice first.
- Olive oil in a saute pan, make sure the oil is good and hot BEFORE you put the chicken in it. This is key as you want to seal in all the goodness right away. Sear each side for like a minute, then turn the heat down a bit and cook the boobies until they are done. We like cooked mushrooms, so I cooked them in the same pan after the chicken was done.
- After the chicken is done, cut into bite sized pieces.
- Place chicken pieces (and cooked schrooms if desired) on top of salad mix in plate/bowl/serving thing of choice. Then put your cheese on top of chicken.
- Enjoy! I recommend a nice Riesling to go with this. Sweeter wines are good with tangy chicken. I really like the Yellow Tail Riesling.

I feel horrible. I have this awful craving to make the most absolutely unhealthy recipe I know--homemade macaroni and cheese. I use a bunch of different cheeses and cream to make the sauce. Then, I add a generous amount of jalapeno smoked sausage, diced.
OMG, it is soooo good. But it's so bad for you! It's death by calories on a plate! Oh, the moral struggle! Waaaah!

Puckstop, you're making me laugh so hard this morning thinking of chicken boobies!!!!
All this food is making me hungry. I have no idea what we're planning on having tonight as tomorrow we're going to start eating a little more healthy sinc we haven't been doing that since we moved to Tennessee. I may go out and get chinese or barbecue.

yummy..Puck! I usually grill the chicken, but put in on top of the cheese to melt it into the salad. with some homemade croutons on top. by the time I'm finished...it isn't exactly weight watchers...but still not toooooo bad. so...Puck...this chef in you is something new. Tanya has trained you right. lol

It is a lot of fun to just "wing it" sometimes. I get a idea and half the time it turns out alright.
I don't comment in a lot of the cooking threads here because, well, lets face it... I could not hold a candle to you, Gempress and some others. LOL
Also, if you recall, my sister IS a chef. In fact, they made her a partner recently at the place she works. The Mountain Magnolian Inn, which is in Hot Springs, NC. Check her out... http://www.mountainmagnoliainn.com/frameset.php?Page=home2.html. Click the dining link.
My Mom is a wonderful cook and through her Martha and I learned to love food and cooking.
well..I am impressed, Puck!! love a man that cooks, and does it well. now..Dave has his token 3 dishes....but the mess he makes cooking kind of isn't worth the effort. (and he has this bizarre habit of leaving EVERY cabinet door and drawer open..goodness!) but he makes a mean cheese plate..so he is forgiven. lol he's also a man that can bring breakfast in bed (as long as you don't see the kitchen, it's awesome) my neice is a chef....hey.....being married to a chef or a hairdresser has always been my fantasy.
