Chicken

I don't know about you, but when I think of a cast iron skillet I think of my mom. My mom made the best ever fried chicken and when she used her cast iron skillet it was even better. I had always wanted a cast iron skillet, but had never purchased one.

Todd here: I recently took a trip to North Carolina to visit my Mom in the hospital. (She is doing much better) While I was there I had a chance to stay on my sister's farm in Mebane.  She and her boyfriend have huntin' dogs, cows, horses, guineas, and 36 chickens! All of the chickens are friendly, but one little clucker is a particularly chummy chicken. This chicken sits on my sister's head!

Christmas eve in our house is all about unwinding. We hang out and talk and eat and open presents. No big meal productions or drama, just family pajama time. Our meal for Christmas eve is always an easy dish that we enjoy informally when we get hungry. That's why soups are such a perfect Christmas eve meal. If you have a big lot coming over make a couple of pots of different soups and everyone can help themselves when they feel like eating.

I love to cook! There is no question about it. Cooking for me is like meditation. I am at one with the kitchen, a 'no interrupt zone'. Dinner with the family is a time to connect with the kids and my James, cooking dinner is a time to connect with myself. And when the food turns out delicious and disappears from their plates, well that's the best thing ever. This is why I share these recipes with you, to hopefully bring you a moment of sanity AND oooh's and ahhh's at the dinner table.
