Never be disappointed by gluggy, mushy, bland Mexican Rice again! Red Mexican Rice – an essential Mexican side! 2 years ago today, I was in Oaxaca, arguably the food capital of Mexico and an ideal place to watch the festivities of Day of the Dead, an annual multi-day holiday during which family and friends gather to pray and celebrate the life of those who have passed.

This Paula Deen breakfast casserole recipe is delicious, filling, and guaranteed to fuel you up for the day....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Poached Chicken I feel like poached chicken is a life skill that everyone should know. But depending how it’s executed, on the one hand it can be like chewing on chipboard: dismally dry, impossible to swallow and completely flavourless. On the other hand – the successful hand – it’s unbelievably succulent, with chicken flavour you never dreamt was possible, and so tender and juicy you can literally SEE the chicken juices sparkling on the surface of every slice....

How do you roast a chicken? With any roasted chicken recipe, you’ll remove the giblets and neck out of the cavity of the chicken, rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. I like to separate the skin from the meat with my fingers (just stick them right in there and pull it apart). And then you can stuff herbs or garlic or whatever you want under the skin....
Well, it’s a New Year. And that means thinking about making small changes to make it a healthier year. I almost always make it a point to make some healthy changes… always on a quest to live a little bit longer and take off a few pounds. I’ve decided that my family eats FAR to much white rice. White rice isn’t that great for you, so it’s time to get rid of that on our dinner menu and replace it with something much better for us: quinoa....

We stayed at the St. Giles Tuscany Hotel– near Grand Central Station and the Empire State Building. It was a nice, quiet area, and we were extremely happy with our stay there.

Most of the time, they’re easy to create, as well. You can decorate them so that they’re creepy, spooky, eerie, or adorably cute. Halloween is whatever you make it, after all! Personally, I’m crazy about the holiday. I love everything about it, so limiting myself to even 30 Halloween cookie recipes was tough. I could’ve probably done 60 or 90 and not blinked an eye. I thought 30 was probably enough for most non-Halloween-addicted people, though, so that’s where I stopped....
