Honey Glazed Chicken

I have TONS of recipes in a "to-try" folder on my computer that I use for inspiration when menu planning but I rarely try many new recipes that are a little different that what I normally make. Why? I have no idea! Anyway, I saw this recipe for Honey Glazed Chicken last week on My Kitchen Cafe when poking around some blogs and I knew I just HAD to make it. It's primarily just honey, soy sauce, butter and chicken. My husband and I love chicken and honey combinations! This is probably the first time I've ever saved a recipe and made it within a month of saving it! And I am so glad I did. This was amazing and I wish I'd had leftovers (I halved the recipe as it was for two people) for lunch today. I guess I'll just have to add it to my repertoire...

Ingredients

2 lbs of diced uncooked chicken breast

1/3 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 TB butter

1/4 cup honey

3 TB lemon juice

2 TB soy sauce

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

Directions

- Heat oven to 350.
- In a shallow dish combine the flower and seasonings.
- Dip each piece of chicken in flour mixture and coat evenly.
- Melt 2 TB butter in a shallow baking dish, large enough to accommodate chicken in a single layer.
- Arrange chicken in pan and bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt remaining butter and add honey, lemon juice, soy sauce and ginger.
- After chicken has baked the 30 minutes, turn each piece over and pour sauce mixture evenly over chicken.
- Bake another 30 to 40 minutes basting frequently.
- Serve over rice.

(original note - I usually double the sauce ingredients to make more to serve over the rice.)

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis. The home of Gooey Butter Cake. Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis. We love it. What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation. Nutella? Check ! Cookies? Don't mind if I do ! Pumpkin? Well of course ! While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake. Sold! I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make. Just a few ingredients really! Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing. Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc. You love what you love. I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza. Like, cracker thin! I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately. Made it a few days later and it was fantastic. This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple. A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple. Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe. And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights! A huge win for our house!
