Friday Fun…Have You Tried One??

 

ActiveRain is lucky to have some excellent cooks! They share their recipes and their photos to entice us!

 

One of our “chefs” is Will Hamm. Every Sunday he shares one of his recipes. I’ve tried a few and saved many to my “cyber” recipe folders.

 

This week I made his Grilled Mojo Chicken and Larry and I loved it!!!  We served it with black beans and rice and grilled pineapple. 

It was easy! The most time-consuming task was squeezing the oranges, limes and lemons! How hard is that?

My next ActiveRain recipes to try will be Jeff Dowler, CRS’s Rustic Herbed Tomato Tart!



So for Friday Fun…have you tried Will’s or any of the other recipes from ActiveRain?  Share with us!!!

Hello Kathy - when it comes to attempting anything in the kitchen, my skills do not go far beyond opening the refrigerator/freezer doors or miscalculating the microwave.  I have dunked a few dishes as well as pots/pans into the sink, rinsed/repeated the car wash-like interpretation of cleaning as well as placed said objects back into their home.  My klutziness in the culinary world is definitely not kool.  

But as for taste-testing recipes, I'm "game".  Put me in, coach.  🙃

Good morning Kathy. While I don't cook I will have to pay more attention and pass them on to my better half for consideration. Thanks for the reminder. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin this one is easy!!! And, if you want to "cheat" you can buy the juices instead of using freshly squeezed.

I've saved recipes, Kathy, and many of them are similar to ones I use... so I just refer to them for ideas for my own. I can't say I ever fully replicated a recipe from someone else.

Nina Hollander, Broker if it's a savory recipe I may make some changes, but I didn't on this one. Adding a grilled pineapple slice topped it off.

Brian England I sent him a pic when I made it!!!  It's a keeper recipe.

A while back I did try one of Will's recipes as a side dish for one of our dinner parties, but don't remember which one it was, only that it was a hit!

Hi Kathy,

While I am a cook myself (maybe I should post some of my recipes), I will admit that I have not tried anybody else's recipes, though it sounds like I should.

Jeffrey Richman I hope you'll share one!!!!  I like trying new recipes.

Back (long ago) when I ate meat, my favorite way to eat it was Cuban recipes that included black beans and rice. That looks awesome.

Sep 06, 2024 07:50 AM
Kathy Streib

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty it really was good especially if you enjoy Cuban food (which I love). Do you eat shrimp???

Good morning Kathy,

That grilled Mojo chicken looks delicious and the recipe looks so easy! I would have put the rice and black beans with it too! I am going to get around to fixing it! I have saved some and know I have tried some of Will Hamm's recipes in the past.

Sep 06, 2024 07:50 AM
Kathy Streib

Dorie Dillard Austin TX I think you'll like it!!! I used wings, thighs and chicken breasts.  I don't keep oj here so I squeezed fresh oranges, limes and lemons.

Thanks for the mention, Kathy. I hope you enjoy the rustic herbed tomato tart and will post about it with a photo or two.

Will's chicken recipe sounds wonderful - I'll have to give it a try.

Enjoy your weekend!

Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS I stay away from dough making so I'm getting Larry to make the dough. I'll post photos. 

Try the chicken...it's good.

Why am I feeling so hungry after reading your post Kathy!  I'm sure I have tried some recipes over the years and probably have them in a cookbook to this day.  Time for lunch!!

I haven't really tried any new recipes lately. I've gotten in a routine of simple old favorites.
