Sweet and Sour Baked Chicken

Here's the recipe to try with those thrifty family packs of chicken legs.

2 onions

4 carrots

3 sweet green peppers

6 chicken legs

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup tomato paste

1 tbsp cornstarch

3 cloves garlic, minced

Cut each onion into 6 wedges. Cut carrots into 1/2" chunks. Cut green peppers into 1" pieces. Scatter vegetables in large roasting pan; cover and roast in 400 degree oven until slightly tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, grasp skin at end of each chicken thigh with paper towel; pull to bony end of drumstick and cut off skin.

In shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper; press chicken into mixture to coat all over. In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, adding remaining oil as necessary, 8 minutes. Arrange on top of vegetables.

Whisk orange juice, honey, soy sauce, tomato paste, cornstarch and garlic; pour over chicken. Cover and roast 20 minutes; uncover and roast 20 minutes more; basting occasionally until juices run clear when pierced.

Whole wheat sandwich rolls - Bread Machine
These are so light, tender & fluffy not at all gummy like some I have made.

1 cup warm water
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour (I use the King Arthur wheat-white)
3 teaspoons bread machine yeast
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten (optional)

1. Place all ingredients in bread pan, select Dough setting, and press Start. (Vital Wheat Gluten is optional but the bread will rise higher with it.).
2. When dough has risen enough, the machine will beep. Remove bread pan, and turn out dough onto a floured countertop. Gently roll and shape the dough into a 12-inch rope.
(I press out with my hands then cut with large glass for 8-10 rolls)
3. With a sharp knife, divide dough into 8 pieces for hamburger buns or 12 pieces for hot dog buns.
4. Grease a baking sheet. Roll pieces of dough into balls and flatten for hamburger buns or shape into 6-inch rolls for hot dog buns. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm oven 10 to 15 minutes until almost doubled.

5. Preheat oven to 400Â°F Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown (be careful mine cook pretty fast). Remove from oven and cool on racks. When ready to use, split buns horizontally. These will keep in plastic bag in the freezer for 3 to 4 weeks

(Dough is very sticky & fluffy)
I baked these last night at 375Âº for about 15 min till golden brown, 400Âº seems to cook too brown too fast.

Made this for Mother's Day for myself and DS. OUTSTANDING!

Inda Garten's linguine with shrimp scampi

Vegetable oil
Kosher salt
3/4 pound linguine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
1 pound large shrimp (about 16 shrimp), peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 lemon, zest grated
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 lemon, thinly sliced in half-rounds
1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
Directions
Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.

Meanwhile, in another large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily! Add the shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.

When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot. Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.
