This is one of my favorite holiday meals and I have been making this dish since the late 1980’s after I first learned about a mesquite roasted version of the preparaton from Chef John Draz who was chef at The Winnetka Grill near Chicago, Illinois. The original restaurant burned down in 1996 and has since been shuttered and Draz has moved on to other lofty chef duties but the recipe remains alive in this version and my variation.

Pumpkin Seed & Cheddar Cornbread Muffins
November 10th, 2008 · Comments Off on Pumpkin Seed & Cheddar Cornbread Muffins
A holiday twist on an ole Southern favorite of cornbread muffins. Using roasted pumpkin seeds, shredded cheddar and minced garlic this cornbread muffin recipe is a sure fire addition to any holiday meal. I whipped these up last week while my parents were in town and I also used 4 of the muffins once cooled as part of a cornbread stuffing in my pork loin roast. I’ll post that recipe later in the week.

Chicken Breast Sauté
October 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment
First I started with cutting the chicken breasts in half since they were thick and this would allow them to cook quicker and also double my portions. I then decided to marinate the chicken in beer, taking an idea from the ole “6-pack chicken” recipe that I’ve done many times and which Emeril made famous some years ago.
