Chicken and Rice

The rice that has been browned


We've been eating this dish since before we were married!

I remember the first time I made this for the Mr.

I must say, he was rather impressed.

It's true.

I wouldn't lie about that!

However, I haven't made this in a very long time.

I have actually forgotten about the recipe.

But I'm taking dinner to a friend who is recovering from surgery and it hit me!

Chicken and Rice!

This recipe is from my friend.

We tease her about it!

Because any time we go to her house for dinner; this is what she serves.

As in A.N.Y. time!

For Y.E.A.R.S now, this is what we eat!

I'll call it her "signature dish!" 

Actually, Auntie Ronda is a fantastic cook -- so with that in mind, if you haven't ever tried this, give it a whirl!

Truth be known, it's an old recipe -- but it's a good one to keep on stand-by . . .just like Auntie Ronda does!

Rice Consomme with Chicken

1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 cans chicken broth
1 cup long-cook rice, uncooked (do not use instant)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a sauce pan, melt the butter and saute the onions.

I then add the 1 cup of raw rice into the butter/onion mixture and toast the rice a bit . . .Auntie Ronda doesn't do that part!

Add both cans of chicken broth and pour into an 8X8 casserole dish.  Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Can be served with grilled chicken breasts that have been sliced across the grain.  You can add the grilled chicken to the rice before cooking, or after.

This recipe easily doubles.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
