Following a busy couple of days of entertaining, we were in the mood for a simple family dinner. While my husband roasted a nourishing chicken, I put together a Waldorf Salad – the crisp, creamy earthiness complimenting the succulent meat perfectly.

Heat oven to 450F. Season a whole chicken with salt and pepper. Rub a mixture of 1 stick of room temperature butter, chopped capers and fresh oregano, on and under the skin. Stuff the chicken with a mixture of chopped celery, carrots and onions, place chicken in roasting pan. Mix together chicken broth, honey and wine and pour in the bottom of the roasting pan. Roast for an hour, or until a thermometer registers 155F to 160F, occasionally spooning the liquid over the chicken while it cooks. Remove chicken from oven, let sit uncovered for 10 minutes before carving.

Despite the bright green burgeoning leaves and vibrantly colored flowers of Spring, it was a dreary day. Made even wetter and muddier by the, now much diminished, cache of water balloons from the kids closet – the first one was thrown as soon as my oldest was off the bus.

A long hot shower with fresh scented soap, followed by a cozy bowl of chowder was utter bliss, and chased away the lingering cold and gloom.

CHICKEN CHIPOTLE CHOWDER

4 tablespoons olive oil

3/4 cup diced celery

3/4 cup diced carrots

2 cups diced onion

2 tablespoons fresh garlic

1 (15-ounce) can of corn, drained

1 cup half-of-half

2 to 4 cups of chicken stock

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

3 cups diced cooked chicken

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

fresh parsley

In a large pot, saute celery and carrots with olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add onion and sauté 10 minutes more. Add garlic and sauté 2 more minutes, stirring constantly. Add corn, half-of-half and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add oregano, chipotle peppers and cooked chicken. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and top with fresh parsley.

Enjoy!

Looking in the refrigerator one morning, I saw the bright shells of our recently colored, hard-boiled Easter Eggs, and wondered how to reuse them for a more practical purpose. My daughter loves egg-salad sandwiches and yellow mustard, and it seemed the perfect combination for a yummy, casual lunch.

TANGY EGG SALAD

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

1/2 cup finely chopped celery

Peel eggs and finely chop. In a medium bowl, mix yellow mustard, mayonnaise, basil, parsley, garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder and hot pepper sauce. Fold in eggs and celery. Chill until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

A wine pairing dinner at a local restaurant, that my husband and I try to attend every month, featured an outstanding coleslaw, paired with a pork slider and a full-flavored glass of wine. At a casual dinner we hosted with friends, my husband wanted to try and recreate some of the deliciousness – a few adjustments to an existing recipe, and we were close.

APPLE FENNEL AND CELERY SLAW

Combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk (I doubled this).

Add 1 to 1 1/2 cups packaged coleslaw mix, 1 1/2 cups julienne-cut green apple, 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced fennel bulb, 1 cup thinly sliced celery and 1 cup thinly sliced radishes. Toss to coat.

Enjoy!

AVOCADO EGG SALAD

avocado, celery, garlic

It wasn’t until I reached the end of this recipe that I realized this egg salad didn’t contain any mayonnaise. I didn’t miss it at all – the creaminess from the avocado and egg yolks were enough. The flavors were fabulous together and I loved the crunch from the celery.

AVOCADO EGG SALAD

avocado egg salad

4 eggs

1/2 to 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced

2 stalks celery, finely chopped

1 to 2 teaspoons mustard

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/2 to 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Put eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Boil for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a bowl of warm water. Allow eggs to rest in the warm water for 10 minutes.

Peel and rinse the eggs under cold water to cool. Coarsely chop.

Mash eggs and avocado in a bowl with fork until well mixed but still chunky. Stir in celery, mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Enjoy!
