I tried the Chicken Culet for the very first time in my life and I LOVED it !!! First time ever cooking chicken like this. And my husband LOVED it too !! A KEEPER. ! A lot of respect I have for the woman and now I am trying her family favs.
Loved the addition of the kalamata olives! Will be one of our “go to” summer dishes. Loved the episode and tried the chicken and salad last night.
This Bruschetta is simple to make and so very tasty. Every bite is bliss. I love all the kitchen tips I learn from watching this show. It’s making me a better cook.
Made this for friends. Love the sweet and juicy heirloom tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes. Also loved the addition of the olives. I am not a big olive fan because of the salt but a friend suggested that I drain the olives and rinse in water. The rinsing did the trick and the added brightness to this dish was a great addition. Will make again! I love your show Valarie and all the great recipes! ‘t wait to see what is next!
