1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce
1 can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice, drained and juice reserved
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 medium bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.

2. Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 8 hours (or high heat setting
3 to 4 hours) or until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer
pink in center.

3. Mix reserved pineapple juice and cornstarch until smooth; gradually

Tonight's Dinner (made half) I'd rather make half than have company!

Company Chicken

Ingredients
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 1/2 pounds)
  • 4 envelopes Italian dressing mix
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound white mushrooms, sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • One 10 3/4-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
  • 6 ounces cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees friend.

Coat the chicken breasts in the dressing mix.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the chicken and cook undisturbed until well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the chicken, add the butter to the pan, and cook until the chicken is just golden brown on the reverse side, 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a large baking dish.

To the skillet, add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Spoon the mushrooms on top of the chicken.

In a medium saucepan combine the soup, cream cheese and wine. Stir over medium-high heat until well blended and heated through. Pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms.

Bake, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, 1 hour. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Classic Deviled Eggs (Amy Zoe)

About This Recipe
"Glad I doubled this recipe. They disappeared faster than it took to make them. I will post the recipe as written, but I did use 12 eggs and a spicy brown mustard for a little kick. Recipe courtesy of Mary Nolan from Chic and Easy."


Ingredients
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • smoked spanish paprika, for garnish
Directions
  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with enough water that there's 1 1/2 inches of water above the eggs.
  2. Heat on high until water begins to boil, then cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Remove from heat and leave covered for 14 minutes, then rinse under cold water continuously for 1 minute.
  4. Crack egg shells and carefully peel under cool running water.
  5. Gently dry with paper towels (I used a kitchen towel).
  6. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks to a medium bowl, and placing the whites on a serving platter.
  7. Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork.
  8. Add mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
  9. Evenly disperse heaping teaspoons of the yolk mixture into the egg whites.
  10. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

Scrambled Eggs from Tyler Florence

"I make scrambled eggs and omelets the same way," he said. "It's three eggs and one yolk, so it's rich and very, very, very yellow." Did you catch that? Florence insists that all it takes for your scramble to go from meh to restaurant-worthy is adding an extra yolk to it.

He's gave his thoughts on all the other controversial scrambled egg tips, too: Yes, Florence is a fan of buttering the pan (a tablespoon will do). Sure, you can add a little dairy to the mixture, like crème fraiche or sour cream. And no, don't turn the heat up. Cook the eggs low and slow, while stirring with a spatula.
