About me:
 I'm a person of conflicting interests. In the summer, I love gardening, hiking, camping and outdoorsy stuff. Fresh foods take precedence - I have little patience for cooking during the summer. Once fall hits, I renew my interest in indoor hobbies: cooking, learning to crochet and playing computer games.

Whiskey Chicken

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2009 by BYRDYGIRL 
Very tasty; a flavorful and easy meal. I did not find the amount of whiskey to be overpowering, though I could taste it in there. (Which is the point - otherwise, why bother?) I did use cornstarch to thicken the sauce, and like some other reviewers I felt that it didn't smell very good while cooking. It was yummy though and smelled good once it was finished and served over brown rice.

Green Shell Salad

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2009 by BYRDYGIRL 
I served this as part of my 4th of July dinner last night and we all loved it. I didn't add the cheese, as it seemed flavorful enough without it. It has a lot of good flavor, and for those who don't like yogurt (my husband being one of those), you can't taste the yogurt in it. It's just got a nice, tangy, herbed flavor that is nicely balanced. I combined all ingredients except the cooked pasta in a bowl then used my immersion blender. All I had to do then was add the pasta, stir & chill - so easy! Thanks for the great recipe - it's definitely a keeper!

Bill's Sausage Gravy

Reviewed on May 26, 2009 by BYRDYGIRL 
I had some problems making this (not the recipe's fault) so I had to adapt and it STILL turned out fantastic. First, there was no maple sausage at the grocery store. I bought sage sausage instead. Secondly, there were almost NO drippings when the sausage was cooked. (What's up with that???) With no drippings, I had a dilemma. I added the butter directly to the crumbled sausage in the pan and cooked that for a little bit. I then whisked together the milk and flour and added it directly to the pan. Much to my surprise, the flavor and consistency still turned out great, easily the best sausage gravy I've ever made! I'm really looking forward to trying this recipe as-written (which was my intention) but even with these alterations it was still easy and amazingly good. Thanks!
