chicken stroganoff

By gwen -
You guys, I really love mushrooms. Sometimes I don't even recognize myself anymore...

A variation on this recipe.

One package boneless, skinless chicken breast
2T paprika
1 medium onion, diced
16 oz. pkg. of sliced, mixed baby bella and white mushrooms (you could even use more than this. mushrooms for everyone)
1/3 c white wine, sherry or vermouth
1/2 c stock (I used veg, could be anything)
2T tomato paste
1/4 c plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 c light sour cream (you could probably skip this, but it would be sad)
8 oz. egg noodles
a bit of chopped parsley


Heat a skillet with some olive oil and cut the chicken with scissors directly into it. (Fewer gross chicken dishes!)

Sprinkle with paprika, salt and pepper, mix, and saute until cooked through. Remove from the pan and throw into a bowl.

Saute the onions and mushrooms, with a bit more oil if necessary, until everything gets nice and brown, about five minutes. Remove from the pan and throw into the same bowl as the chicken.

Somewhere in here, boil your egg noodles before you forget.

Add your alcohol and deglaze the pan, if anything is stuck. Let it cook for a minute and then add the stock and tomato paste. Cook until everything is dissolved together, then throw the chicken and mushrooms back in.

Turn up the heat and stir everything around. The sauce was supposed to thicken in this step; mine didn't (maybe because I skipped the flour from the original recipe), so I ignored it. Maybe yours will.

Turn the heat back down and stir in the yogurt and sour cream, and cook for a little while longer. Taste to see if you need more salt and pepper.

Sprinkle with parsley and serve over noodles.

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
