The Frickin Chicken: Cook Book

About Me

Amanda:
I've always had a love of cooking. As a teenager, when most of my friends were watching sitcoms, I was watching Food Network. I was always experimenting on my family with my "creations." Recently I have found a new passion in food. I now follow the principles of Weston A. Price Foundation, using Real Food when I cook. I've eliminated processed foods from my life. I don't use too many measurements when I cook, just a lot of love.

I have opened up this blog to my family and some friends, so there will be a lot of recipes to enjoy. As always, please leave comments, and suggestions. If you try one of our recipes, please let us know what you thought of it! To find out more about me, visit my personal blog here.

Contributing Cooks:

Julie:
One of my wonderful sister-in-laws. Shes a great mom of two. She and I share a passion for food. One of her favorite weekend spots is to go hang out at the gourmet supermarket to take in the sights! You can visit her personal blog here.

Karen:
My Momma. Yes, I'm almost 30 and call her Momma. She encouraged my love for food by helping me cook many dinners while I was growing up. I cooked spaghetti so many times, that to this day, we are both "tired" of it. But back then she never complained.

Jules:
I met Jules in the blogsphere and fell in love with her blog, Far from the Sticks. Here is a little more about her in her own words: I grew up in the wilds of New Hampshire. After college I went in search of warmth and sun and ended up in San Diego. In Feb. '09 I moved to Ankara, Turkey with my fiance. Officially I am now an ex-pat. I am currently butchering Turkish in my attempt to learn it, but have had more success with the food. I pounce at any chance to try a new dish, and have few boundaries when it comes to what I won't eat. Through my exeriences I am learning the intricacies of a cuisine that varies from Mediterranean to Anatolian. Growing up I never imagined this particular adventure but nonetheless am excited for what is to come.

Cook Book

I'm super excited! I've been asked to participate in a Community Fund-raising Cookbook for my local Mothers of Multiples club: PAMOM! I can enter up to 5 recipes (and you know I will!) in categories including: appetizers, soups, veggie, sides, main dishes, this & that (homemade art supplies for example), and baby & toddler foods.

I know I want to enter in the this & that category the homemade finger paint recipe and a homemade playdoh recipe (I still need to post that one to the blog!) I figure this category will be light on entries so I want to contribute. I also would like to add at least one toddler meal.

My question to you, dear readers... what is your favorite dish that you've had (or wanted to try) off of The Frickin Chicken? Please leave a comment and the favorite dishes I'll select to add to the PAMOM cookbook!

Thanks everyone!
-Amanda

I think you should include your chicken enchilada recipe... even though you haven't yet posted it here yet. It is a winner!

As for toddler friendly food I think you should submit your savory pancakes; it is a great way to get extra veggies in their faces. AND that photo of Izzie stuffing her face with one covered in cream cheese is precious! But the healthy rice crispy treats are awesome as are the toddler granola bars.

Do you get to submit 5 recipes for each category or 5 total? If you asked me, you could do more than 5 with just your inventive toddler foods.

Hey Amanda. I wasn't sure where to post this since you aren't on babyfit anymore...so I'll just leave you a note here :) Anyway, I was making dinner last night and the recipe just sounded so "you." It's Chicken with Pecan Cream...the cream is made by pureeing toasted pecans, water and salt to make a cream; served over pasta and sauteed chicken. If you are interested in the recipe let me know by leaving me a note on my blog (livslittleblog.blogspot). Thanks for your wonderful recipes!
