Flashback & Foodie Friday

Time for Suzy at Kitchen Bouquet's Flashback Friday and Gollums Foodie Friday...love it when I have a recipe that links the two together...






Don't know where the week went..seems like it should only be Tuesday! Since I need to make an appie for a birthday party Saturday I decided to make one of my favorites that I posted earlier in the year on a now defunct blog.. Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps. They are really yummy and everyone seems to love them - they never last very long!




Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps
Ingredients
· 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken breasts (about 4 breasts)
· 1 (1-pound) package sliced bacon
· 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
· 2 tablespoons chili powder

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Wrap each chicken cube with bacon and secure with a wooden pick. Stir together brown sugar and chili powder. Dredge wrapped chicken in mixture. Coat a rack and broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken wrap on rack in broiler pan. Bake 350 for 30 to 35 minutes or until bacon is crisp.

You can put these in a crock pot on low to keep them warm during the party!

Just to give you all a HEAD'S UP.... I will be hosting a Mothers Day Event the weekend of May 9th. I would love for all to join in and show us any photos of your mother and grandmothers with some of their favorite recipes you always remember when you think of them! I'll have Mr. Linky posted on the Friday before...maybe, if I can get it figured out!

April Fool's Day

Carol at There's Always Thyme To Cook is hosting an April Fool's Party to showcase our faux food!

I was all set to make the Spaghetti and Meatballs, but my dear co-hort Suzy from Kitchen Bouquet beat me to the punch! So, since I didn't want a double up I went back and did more research to come up with another dish. I was really proud of myself..came up with something great and promised myself I would NOT change my mind even if someone else picked my dish.

After I finished my class this morning in Digital Imaging I went to the grocery to get all my ingredients..back home slaving away baking, mixing up concoctions, taking pictures getting everything just perfect!

Finally ready to do my post, everything is in order until I linked on to Dashboard and saw KATHLEEN'S post!!! Sometimes I swear we share one mind...Irish folk are like that at times. Needless to say my contribution is a grilled cheese sandwich and french fries, which is one of my favs also! Kathleen is a genius in presentation so I'm glad I didn't even attempt that ;)

I really loved doing this..my DIL stopped by as I was getting everything ready and was impressed. So, without any further comments..since I know the suspense is just killing you all....

My Fries were made with premade breadstick dough, and catsup was seedless strawberry jelly! To get both of the recipes just click on the names for the link.
