I've been wanting to make cupcake chicken again and Aldi had chicken thighs on sale for .79/pound. I divided it up into two packs of six thighs and kept out the seven smaller ones for cooking this week. The two packs of six are vacuum sealed and in the freezer. Each time I fix six, that's two separate meals of one thigh for me and two thighs for Vince. I got 19 chicken thighs for $7.88. ...

The Cupcake Chicken Report
In my opinion, Cupcake Chicken is not a great name for this recipe. It just doesn't sound right, but maybe that's just me. I think of icing when I think of cupcakes. Here's how I did my cupcake chicken, start to finish, along with my thoughts. The first recipe I saw for this chicken had the thighs going into a cupcake tin which had holes drilled in the bottom of each cup. I wasn't crazy ...
Chicken Dinner
Admit it . . you think Vince butchered a chicken and he's eating it for dinner! No. Chad is cooking dinner. Chad has a nice little area set up for his smoker. He pulled them off the smoker and I got to have a few bites to try. Yummy! Cannot wait til dinner. Chad tells me this is his version of "cupcake chicken" and he combined several recipes so if you're interested in making it, ...

I love chicken salad made with smoked chicken and I love gumbo made with smoked chicken. Since I'm going out of town in a few days, I figured one chicken would give us enough to eat yesterday and then save some leftovers for a couple of meals for Vince while I'm ...
The Chicken, Avocado, Lime Soup
I'm probably the weirdest sick person ever. Please don't comment on that statement! :) I feel horrible. I go to bed and sleep for a couple of hours, I get up and do all kinds of stuff, then feel horrible, then go back to bed for a couple of hours, get up and do all kinds of stuff. Poor Vince. When he's sick, he sits and feels bad for days. After we ate, I felt bad, went back to bed, just got ...
Smothered Chicken With Gravy
One of my favorite meals is smothered chicken with gravy. I know what you're thinking . . every meal is my favorite meal but anything with rice and gravy .. yum! When we were in Louisiana, we ate at MamaReta's Kitchen. She serves "soul food" and the day we were there, the special was smothered chicken, rice and gravy so I was happy. I've hardly stopped thinking about that meal since we left ...
