New Blog & Giveaway

I have what I hope is exciting news. I have started another blog. 1001 Recipes You Can Create with a Rotisserie Chicken. I hope you are as excited as I am.I like to cook. I like chicken. I like to make things easy... ok, I like to CHEAT. Seriously though, if I can buy an entire rotisserie chicken from Sam's Club, or my grocery store for $4.95 why shouldn't I shorten my prep list and time? Let's face it, most places these days you can buy a fresh rotisserie chicken for the same price, or less, as buying a whole chicken, or worse, boneless skinless chicken breasts.

So, this is my experiment into how many real recipes I can make using store bought rotisserie chicken. I say "real recipes" for one reason, and I don't mean to be knocking anyone, but during my research for the site I came across a cookbook that had to do with cooking using rotisserie chicken. At first, I was disappointed thinking, oh someone has already done this. As I read, though, I found quite a few of the recipes were simple. A simple recipe to me would be a chicken quesadilla. Remove the chicken from the bone, heat slightly. Put some of the chicken on a flour tortilla, cover with cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and brown in a hot pan. I'm not saying that's not delicious, because add a little salsa and you've got a winner with me any day of the week! Still, as delicious as that is, I wanted to make more substantial meals. 

The first recipe you will find is my Chicken & Yellow Rice. Trust me when I say it is a huge hit, and everyone I make it for loves it. On this particular recipe I used Vigo yellow rice. Since I gave a specific ingredient I linked it to Amazon as I have friends who do not have yellow rice, Vigo or otherwise, in their grocery store. The price they have for 5 packages is reasonable, if the price wasn't reasonable I would not share it with you.

The second news I hope you will find exciting is the possibility of a giveaway! I have been contacted by the promotion team of cooking website and am hoping to be able to giveaway some prizes to my readers, wouldn't that be awesome?!
