I am well aware that after reading the title of this recipe I probably lost about half of my readership. I know that spam is just one of those things that you either love it or hate it, with no in-between. But for those of you who stuck around, either out of curiosity or because you actually like spam, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at this recipe.
Chicken French
Quite possibly one of the tastiest regional dishes I know is chicken french. It wasn't until recently that I discovered that this delicious chicken dish with a lemon and white wine sauce is native to the Upstate New York area. I can't fathom going your whole life without trying this dish! So for those of you who aren't from my neck of the woods, I present to you my recipe for chicken french.
Dressed-up Angel Food Cake
This year was the first time I hosted Easter dinner for my family. Sure, I've cooked big meals for my family before, but I've never hosted a holiday, so I was a little nervous. Since we had church in the morning I knew I had to come up with some meal options that I could prepare ahead of time and then finish before dinner. The dinner menu was easy. We had twice-baked potatoes and salmon because they are favorites of my fiancee and I knew my family would love them too. But it wasn't until I was wandering aimlessly around the grocery store that I figured out what to serve for dessert: angel food cake with an orange-mango filling and strawberry sauce. I was worried that my relatives would poke fun at me for taking the easy way out, but it could not have been a more perfect springtime dessert and I only received compliments.
