Four Foods on Friday

13th June 2008

I have to say it, thank goodness it’s Friday! It has been incredibly busy around our house the last couple of weeks, not to mention hot, so I’m ready for a day with no plans and some time to relax. To kick it off, I’m very happy to do Four Foods on Friday, my favorite meme. If you’d like to join in, please visit Fun, Crafts and Recipes for all of the instructions and to leave Valmg a comment.

This week is a little different, instead of questions, it’s posting recipes or menu ideas for the following items:

A - asparagus, applesauce

B - balsamic vinegar, bread

C - chicken, cinnamon

D - dressing, dumpling

Asparagus is very simple, I love it plain and simply steamed with butter and a touch of seasoning on it. As for applesauce, I’ve never made this before, but I love applesauce cake for dessert. It’s also quite tasty for breakfast!

The only thing that comes to mind for balsamic vinegar is salad dressing, sorry, not too creative. As for bread? I haven’t used my breadmaker in a number of years, but one of my favorites was a recipe that called for half wheat flour and half white flour. It made it not so dry and a bit healthier than all white bread.

I think I’ve all ready shared most of my chicken recipes, so I love cinnamon and right now, with it being so early, I’m thinking cinnamon toast. Toast your bread, smear with butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

I love mixing dressing with chicken and baking it like a casserole. Use chicken broth to add moisture before baking. I’m not originally from the south and am no expert on dumplings. The only ones I know how to make are from Bisquick and are dropped in for the last two minutes of cooking a chicken stew.

Now that my brain is on the food track, I think I’ll go make myself some cinnamon toast!

I just wanted to say that I really love your blog. I think you’ve got one of the most beautifully designed pages I’ve ever seen. Your header graphic is stunning. Stopping by, even just to drop an entrecard is like getting a daily dose of sunshine.

Hey Val! This week was more challenging, not sure if I played the way it was intended, seemed every one had a different theory on that one! Hope you had a good weekend.
