Got this yummy recipe from my sister who calls this Stephenson's baked chicken with butter and cream. Pretty simple ingredients, with an added gravy which she recommends serve with mashed potatoes. I tried this recipe today, and it was smelling good in the kitchen. Can't wait to see what my husband's (my official taste tester) reaction would be.. The chicken turns out crunchy.. In making the chicken, I added a few drops of lemon juice on the chicken prior to dredging in the flour. Ingredients: 1/2 C Flour (unbleached organic flour) 1-1/2 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp pepper 1 cut-up chicken or pieces (organic free range)I recommend taking the skin off or else your gravy will be oily 1/4 c organic butter 1-1/2 c hot water 1/2 c nonfat dry milk powder ( ) The results are better than using regular milk Dip chicken in water; coat with mixture of flour and seasonings. Put skin side up in baking dish (deeper is better to keep gravy from dryi...

Finished cake with icing and chocolate shavings (above) Unfrosted cakes (below) Happy New Year my blog readers! After the holidays, comes my birthday in the month of January. I thought for my actual birthday I would try make the traditional Filipino mocha cake recipe from my Nora Daza cookbook. It calls for special ingredients such as cake flour, which to my further research tells me that it makes the cake softer and lighter. Unlike other mocha cake recipes I found, it also calls for creme de cacao...which is a liquer I have to buy from the liquor store...which tastes like white chocolate and vanilla essence... Unfortunately, my experiment failed..the cake was more of a taizan or mamon cake...and my icing was too liquidy.. and not at all the one I was visualizing of my previous mocha cakes that I have tasted from NJ. So, after some internet search, I stumbled upon this mocha chiffon recipe with the proper ingredients and directions...I'm pretty much sure this will be close to the ...
