Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

Sour cream sugar cookies recipe

    Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
    Sugar cookies are one of the most classic and delicious sweets to prepare for Christmas and the holiday season. What is great about sugar cookies is that they are easy to prepare. These sugar cookies are a little bit different and use sour cream. I would say that the texture is more like that of a cake than a cookie. Once the dough is prepared and the cookies are baked, they are coated with frosting and sprinkles if desired. The frosting is just a simple combination of butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. You can add food coloring if you want, I used blue. These are easy to prepare in large batches if needed. Enjoy.

    Baked Bone-in Chicken Breasts

    Baked bone-in chicken breasts recipe

      Baked Bone-in Chicken Breasts
      Baked bone-in chicken breasts have a lot more flavor than boneless skinless breasts. I have started using split breasts that are bone-in with the skin-on more and more lately. This chicken is cooked in the oven to perfection. A lot of the flavor in this dish comes from garlic, lemon, salt, and pepper. The chicken is easy to prepare and you can serve it with a variety of different side dishes. You can pound the chicken with a heavy cast iron skillet to thin it out a bit so it will reduce the cooking time. If you can find chicken breasts that are smaller, that would be a good option. Enjoy.

          Oven roast chicken breast recipe


            A lot of the time I will settle for boneless chicken breasts but the truth is, roasting bone-in chicken breast with the skin on in the oven is far more flavorful and delicious. The chicken in his recipe is coated with seasoning and then fried in a pan for a few minutes and finished cooking in the oven. You can cook these fully in the oven if you want but the cook-time will be a little longer, so make sure that you check the chicken with a meat thermometer to make sure that it is fully cooked. Frying the chicken breast in the pan helps to get the skin crispy. I like to throw in a few cut up red potatoes cover in olive oil with a little salt and pepper. It is delicious. Enjoy.

                    Boston Cream Pie
                    The Boston Cream Pie is an American classic. This dish was first created by a chef in Boston. The truth is, this isn’t a pie at all, it is a cake. This cake consists of cake layers that are filled with vanilla custard and topped with a chocolate glaze. If you have concerns that this recipe is hard to prepare, the use of instant vanilla pudding makes this recipe easy to make. This recipe does not use multiple cake layers but one cake prepared in a 9-inch pan that is cooled and sliced in half. You may be concerned that the cake will not look nice after slicing it in half but just be careful when you are slicing it and it should turn out fine. You will want to make sure you follow the mixing and baking directions closely so that the cake has the right texture. Enjoy.
