Crispy "Fried" Chicken -- Juggling With Julia

America is the land of riches, and that includes some extraordinarily calorically-dense foods. There’s the Super Big Gulp, artery-clogging movie popcorn, and the calorie calamity that is a slice of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. Monster-sized burgers, fried chicken, and the almighty fried potato are regulars at any drive-thru window. American ingenuity is also highlighted in our willingness to deep-fry anything that will stay still [...]

Chicken Marbella -- Juggling With Julia

This dish has it all. If it were a western, it’d be titled The Sweet. The Salty. The Tangy.  If it were a piece of art, its caption would read “Plums and Olives Dancing Lightly on a Chicken’s Breast.”  Some call it marbella, others mirabella. But nobody calls it late for dinner (har har har). I’ve had this combo [...]

Then came along Greek yogurt. I tried it (cuz I’m all about second chances). And it’s good! Not overly tangy like regular plain yogurt. It reminds me of sour cream, and [...]

Buffalo Chicken Salad -- Juggling With Julia

Happy Hump Day! My rump is killing me thanks to a new uber-hard Spin class I tried yesterday. Tabata Trex.
