  1. Delicious! I rarely use goats cheese and now I don't know why because it's super creamy and made these roll ups taste amazing!! Love the contrast with the peppery arugula as well; these disappeared very fast!
     
  2. Gorgeous! I bought a Goat cheese round (fits in 2 hands) with cracked black pepper crusted on the top. This was very sharp/astringent so I used a lot of rocket (aragula); I was also liberal with the cheese & was afraid it would ooze so I made foil nests/like a basket & 3 cocktail sticks each (I keep toothpicks in the bathroom lol), but leaving plenty of chicken exposed to brown; had already bashed them to make escalopes as I find they roll better then. I served with extra rocket & a salad as good as I could get like the lovely picture! Also had new potatoes & just a light French dressing. I wouldn't have thought of cooking rocket as I think of it as salad, but I remember now, that years ago, we knew a Thai family & they always cooked it! (that was years before rocket started appearing in British shops)
     
  3. This was amazingly simple and delicious, thanks for sharing!
     
  4. this was really good, and my husband LOVED it. i served it alongside a soup he requested, and he ended up going for seconds on the chicken and not the soup.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
