HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN

I see there's currently a thread with a recipe by the same name, but mine is slightly different, so here goes:

Cut up a chicken breast, about one pound, in medium-sized chunks. Saute in a frying pan with a tablespoon of curry powder so the chicken pieces are "golden". (I hate white-looking chicken & love curry powder).

Add about a cup of water & a heaping tablespoon of a prepared quality honey-mustard. (the best I've ever run across was one I mail-ordered from Hawaii several years ago, but I've seen other interesting ones in gourmet food shops locally.) Simmer on a low heat for maybe 10-15 minutes, adding a little extra water if needed.

Now add at least a cup of mango chunks, continue simmering until the mango pieces are just heated through. At this point, the sauce should be rather thick like a gravy. I like to add additional curry powder to the sauce in the last minutes of cooking.

Serve over rice topped with cashew pieces.

I'm in a candy mood today. Here are a few of my favorites. CHERRY ALMOND FUDGE 3/4 cup sliced almonds 2-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar 2/3 cup milk 1/4 cup butter 12 ounces white chocolate baking squares with cocoa butter, coarsely chopped 3/4 cup snipped dried tart red cherries or dried cranberries 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional) Canned vanilla frosting (optional) Red food coloring (optional) 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread almonds in a shallow baking pan. Toast in the preheated oven for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring two to three times. Remove from oven; let cool. 2. Line an 8x8x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter the foil; set pan aside. 3. Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In the saucepan, combine powdered sugar, milk, and butter. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils and sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low. Boil gently, without stirring, for 5 minutes. 4. Reduce heat to low. Add the white chocolate. Stir until white chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat; stir in dried fruit, almonds, and, if desired, almond extract. Immediately spread fudge in prepared pan. Cover and chill 6 hours or until firm. 5. When fudge is firm, use foil to lift it out of pan. Cut fudge into 1-inch squares or triangles. If desired, tint canned frosting with food coloring. Pipe frosting over cut pieces. Makes about 2 pounds (64 pieces). To store: Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week. -------------------- Peanut Butter Cornflake Candy This one is so good! 1 c. sugar 1 c. corn syrup 1 ts. butter 1 1/2 Cups peanut butter 5-6 Cups cornflakes Bring sugar and corn syrup to a boil.

My sister has a brunch open house at Christmas each year. One year she made these and they were literally eaten before she could get the tray to the serving table. She started out with 6 cans of biscuits (10 biscuits per tube, but I don't know if they make that size anymore) and I ended up running to the neighborhood grocery for 3 more cans. Not a one left. BRUNCH GARLIC PARMESAN ROLLS 1 package Hungry Jack biscuits (10 per tube) Mix together: 1/2 c. mayonnaise 1/4 tsp. dried oregano 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 tsp. garlic powder (or garlic salt) 1/4 tsp. dried basil 3 green onion tops, chopped Preheat oven to 350. Place biscuits on baking sheet and make a well in each. Fill the well with mixture and bake 13-15 minutes.

This is written on asianinfo.org. I modify it by using wine vinegar instead of wine & vinegar. You can make your own modifications to make it your own. Bulgogi Korean beef This is a mainstay in Korea. One pound of steak will serve 4 people when served with rice wrapped in lettuce. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luscious Bulgogi (Korean Beef Stir-fry) Recipe Here are some tips and a recipe for making delicious bulgogi at home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting Started: 1. Choosing Meat: It's better to buy steak, but since this can be costly, any cut of meat is okay. A pound of beef will serve about 4 people. 2. Other Ingredients Needed: Soy sauce (about 1/4 c): Although you can find soy sauce in an American grocery store, it's highly recommended to buy Japanese or Korean-style soy sauce at an Asian market near you. Sesame oil (about 2 to 3 T) Kiwi (1), Fuji Apple (1) or Asian Pear (1): Choose only one fruit. (We recommend kiwi.) Kiwi tenderizes the meat and adds a sweet flavor to the meat. Sugar Black pepper (3 dashes) Onion (1) Garlic (2 -3 cloves/pieces) Green onions (about 5 - both white and green parts) Cooking wine (about 2 T): Korean or Japanese cooking rice wine recommended Vinegar (about 1 T): This is optional and again, Asian vinegar is recommended. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Directions: It is very important to freeze the meat first, this aids you in cutting the meat into thin slices. After freezing, slightly defrost in the microwave - make sure the meat is still frozen, but workable. Cut the meat into thin slices, as thin as possible - but watch your fingers! Put the slices into the large mixing bowl and sprinkle sugar over it and mix with hands or chopsticks. Let it sit for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the marinade. Place onion (1) and kiwi (1) into food processor or blender until liquid and pour into small bowl. Mix soy sauce (1/4 c), sugar (2 or 3 T), black pepper (2 or 3 dashes), sesame oil (2 to 3 T), cooking wine (about 2 T), (optional - vinegar). After mixing, taste it. You want to have a slightly salty, sweet taste. If it's too salty, add a bit more sugar. Chop garlic into small pieces (or use garlic press), cut green onion into 2 to 3 inch pieces and put into sugar/meat mixture. Pour both sauces into the garlic/onion meat mixture and mix well , using hands or chopsticks. It is important to mix thoroughly so the marinade is evenly distributed throughout the meat. Refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight. Cook in frying pan until the meat is cooked thoroughly and serve with sticky rice. Korean people eat this dish with red leaf lettuce filled with rice and meat. Other items to eat with bulgogi (Korean beef stir-fry) are Korean spicy pepper paste, Korean bean paste, sesame oil mixed with salt, sliced garlic and raw green onions. These are optional and are usually placed in the lettuce leaf along with the rice and beef.

Cowboy Cookies
You can customize it to your own tastes. Looks easy, and good!

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1 cup shortening
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1â2 teaspoon salt
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
1-1/2 cups mixed morsels and/or nuts of your choice (see Tip)

1 Center a rack and preheat the oven to 350F. Trim the parchment paper to fit the baking sheets; you will thank me later. Using parchment paper instead of greasing the baking sheets makes for a SUPER easy cleanup.

2 Combine the sugars and shortening in the bowl of a mixer, and beat on medium speed until blended. Add the eggs and beat until blended. Add the vanilla extract and beat briefly.

3 In a separate bowl, dry whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Add to the creamed mixture, beating on low to medium speed to blend.

4 Add the oats, beating until they are mixed into the dough.

5 Add no more than a total of 1-1/2 cups of morsels, nuts, and dried fruit.

6 Drop the cookies by the teaspoon onto the baking sheets: youÂll get about 9 per sheet.

7 Bake 1 sheet of cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown. Remove from the oven, and put in the other sheet of cookies.

8 Use a spatula to transfer the baked cookies to a cooling rack. Let the baking sheet cool for 5 minutes, then measure out the next batch of cookies. When the parchment paper comes out browning around the edges, replace with a new sheet of paper.

Tip: Try 3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate morsels and 3/4 cup hazelnuts. Or 1/2 cup walnuts, 1â2 cup dried cherries, and 1/2 cup butterscotch chips. Go for 1 cup raisins and 1/2 cup white chocolate. These are just suggestions. Do what you like. ItÂs your cookie!
