Welcome to My Kitchen

This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.

Review of Rosemary Chicken with Wild Rice and Picture

So, Chris isn't home to try this tonight.  It's his late night but we all liked it!  I think the fresh rosemary really made this dish.  The kids both liked it.  I let them taste the chicken mixture and the wild rice individually first.  This way they got a chance to taste both elements of the recipe and didn't just see a pile of stuff on their plate wondering what it was.
I use Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice Original Recipe for this.  I didn't add the oil or butter when I made it and it was great! 
I had to make a substitution for this recipe too.  I didn't have orange marmalade but I thought that I did so I used sugar free apricot preserves for the 1/4 cup and then added 2 TBSP of orange juice in lieu of the added orange marmalade.  It turned out really well.  I would definitely make this again and I can't wait to hear what Chris thinks of it.  I served this with asparagus tips.  YUM!
