I went looking for a baked chicken recipe today and remembered that Paula Deen had one of her sons on her show demonstrating how to make BBQ chicken in the oven.

Just a quick break in the WGRS recipes while I post something I tried over the weekend! My in-laws were visiting, and we were going to spend an afternoon out of the house so I wanted to make something that would happily simmer on the stove top while we were gone. Since it was actually [...]

Hi everyone,
I know it’s been a while since anyone’s posted – sorry about that. Today, I thought I’d write about one of my favorite tools in the kitchen, which is my cobalt blue Le Creuset Dutch oven:
