This recipe is from "The Blue Willow Inn Cookbook" by Jane and Michael Stern. The inn is located in a tiny, sleepy town in Georgia named Social Circle. The restaurant draws people from all over and they all go away impressed with "real Southern food". There is a buffet daily and different each day, but they always have fried chicken (pan fried, not deep-fried) and real mashed potatoes. Harry has eaten there when he and a neighbor, Joe, went up to his brother's to put siding on their house. Joe's the pickiest eater in the world, and he raved about it. Here's one of their desserts: Ambrosia Coconut 2 c. mandarin oranges, drained 2 c. crushed pineapple, drained 2 c. sour cream 2 c. shredded coconut 2 c. mini marshmallows. Combine all the ingredients and chill. Makes 10-12 servings. How easy is that? I will add marachino cherries, because Harry's mother always did.

I got this one from allrecipes.com, it' really good. And easy. I just use regular feta and it works great. INGREDIENTS: * 1 (8 ounce) container fat-free plain yogurt * 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese with basil and sun-dried tomatoes * 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest * 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice * 2 teaspoons dried oregano * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper * 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary * 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces * 1 large red onion, cut into wedges * 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces DIRECTIONS: In a large shallow baking dish, mix the yogurt, feta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Place the chicken in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate 3 hours in the refrigerator. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Thread the chicken, onion wedges, and green bell pepper pieces alternately onto skewers. Discard remaining yogurt mixture. Grill skewers on the prepared grill until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

I was excited to find this recipe. Harry's daughter doesn't eat anything with gluten or dairy so this will be perfect for a Pavlova when they come visit next. We rarely have desserts while they are here since it's so hard to work with quirky eating habits. The notes are from The Kitchn. I haven't tried it yet. Coconut Milk Whipped Cream (The Kitchn) I found that this works really brilliantly; the cold cream whips up into thick yet airy whipped cream. It does taste strongly of coconut, however, as you might expect. So if you do not like the flavor of coconut, this is not for you. But if you want something creamy and non-dairy to go with a summer dessert, then this is a fantastic option. The coconut cream is naturally a little sweet, so you can leave it unsweetened. Or you can add a touch of vanilla and sugar to make it a little sweeter � up to you! Coconut Milk Whipped Cream One 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk 1 tablespoon sugar or more to taste (optional) 1 teaspoon vanilla or more to taste (optional) 1. Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator and leave it there until well-chilled; I left mine in overnight. Do NOT shake or stir. 2. Open the can of coconut milk. There will be a firm, waxy layer on top. 3. Scoop out this firm layer coconut cream that has solidified at the top of the can. 4. Stop as soon as you reach the water at the bottom of the can; don't include anything but the solid cream. (You can use the water in smoothies, or just drink it straight.) 5. Place this cream in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl. 6. Turn your mixer or hand beaters to high speed, and whip the coconut cream for 3 to 5 minutes. 7. Whip until it becomes fluffy and light, with soft peaks. Mix in sugar or vanilla, if using. 8. Serve with fresh fruit, pie, or cobbler.

Recently Ina Garten made skillet roasted lemon chicken on her show. I plan to try it using bone-in, skin-on b**asts instead of a whole bird. https://barefootcontessa.com/recipes/skillet-roasted-lemon-chicken ETA: I originally tried to post this an hour ago, but it never posted. Could it be the word b**asts? I tried again with the edit and it went through immediately. ???????
