Jane HenegarGood morning in this Holy Week, the beginning of Passover and the culmination of Easter. (And isn’t there a certain kind of holiness to every week we have with those we love, every table we set for them? That’s cause for celebration.)
A visit to the Cookie Jar Café in Dunlap was a tasty treat for “Health Nut,” who thought the food was fresh and healthful, especially the grilled meatloaf. “I would like a recipe for grilled meatloaf in the style of the Cookie Jar Café.”
Health Nut passed on a request from a neighbor, Hungry Husband. “I read an article in Wall Street Journal that said, ‘Beans are the new kale.'” He explained, “Beans suit me lots more than kale, so I am asking for recipes using beans, chickpeas, lentils and peas.”
ROTISSERIE CHICKEN
Let’s continue the discussion about alternatives to store-bought rotisserie chickens. One of you contributed a no-rotisserie chicken that is prepared in a slow cooker. Kevin Wohl gave it the taste test and offered this report. “I’ve prepared and bought many a rotisserie chicken, but this crockpot idea intrigued me. The aroma when we came home was amazing. It was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the little bite I had after removing most of the skin was yummy. The broth will make a delicious soup too.”
