The perfect dish for entertaining guests. Or to use up any type of chicken you have in your freezer. Despite the long instructions (which includes random tidbits), this dish is reasonably quick and serves a lot of people for very little cost. (We fed 25 people with a double batch!) Plus it tastes super good and is easy to make!
Confit is an increasingly popular but traditional French way of curing, cooking and preserving meat. I can’t believe I lived so long without making it before. It always sounded like it was too much work. Then our friend Carl was over helping process our ducks and shared his passion for confit. We made up our own confit duck and loved it. I decided to try some confit chicken for a family Christmas party and it turned out FANTASTIC. This takes a bit of planning ahead, but is a fairly simple way to make lots of fantastic food!

Gyros! A quick, easy and tasty meal! Takes almost no time to prepare!
This is one of our favorite meals to entertain with, it really is quite impressive to serve. Perfect for a large guest list. The dish is easy to make, but has a lot of steps, so it takes a long time… Lots of ingredients, but the meal is really missing something if you skip on one…
We live 35 minutes from the closest co-op grocery store, so when we find ourselves with no food in the house we can't just run out to grab something. Instead, we have to get creative. We like to think of it as our own version of food TV competition: what can we make with a random assortment of on-hand ingredients? This time it was Jack's turn and the dish was fantastic!
Delicious and easy to make buffalo wings
This recipe uses some shredded meat that we previously cooked in a crockpot and froze into meal sized portions. Having shredded frozen meat around really helped us continue to eat well during the busy times of life.
