What's for Dinner, Sat., Feb. 28, 2015
Am I ever in the mood for cooking!
Know what gets me in the mood? A trip to Whole Foods, first thing in the morning. There I see a baked apple stuffed with walnuts, cranberries, cheese, and granola: only $8.99 each!
I just look and laugh, thinking I could make that for about $1.24.
I did quite well at Whole Foods today, though, as they are having a sale on chicken legs and I bought a package of 14 for $3.23! I have discovered that I love making chicken soup from the legs because it's so fast and easy to pull the chicken off the bone.
However, I may do these by coating them with mustard and then panko. So simple, yet delicious. I use a spicy mustard. Put them in the oven.
I have a tip to pass on: I noticed that Trader Joe's is now stocking peeled hardboiled eggs at six to a package--from free range hens. Can't recall the price but it was reasonable. I always buy free-range, but have trouble peeling the eggs I make, so I was hoping someone would do this. You do have to use them within one week of opening the package, though. They seem a bit firmer than the ones I make, but they're OK.

I'm going to give it a try. I hope it works; I think I could be better assured of freshness this way.
A big thanks!

We have enough left for dinner today and tomorrow.
I made it with a layer of sausage, ricotta with chopped chives and roasted red pepper, and a mushroom layer. It has a bechamel/alfredo sauce on top. I put mozzarella in with the sausage and ricotta layers. It was very good, if I do say so myself. 
with Mexican rice, pinto beans, pico de gallo and guacamole. That ought to finish off the citrus marinated chicken.
