Today’s dinner is a repeat. Actually, it’s the same meal, just that the recipe made so much, I froze a good half of what I made for another day.
Today’s meal is reminiscent of roast chicken and stuffing. A recent movie, Julie and Julia, is bringing a lot of Julia Child’s recipes back into the spotlight… not they ever really LEFT, but you know what I mean. French cooking intimidates a lot of cooks! It got me thinking after I read a recent article that said the best roast chicken is to be found in Paris (Julia would approve).
How do YOU roast a chicken?
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.
