Welcome To My Blog!

For the past year, I've had the experience of being a part of the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club Cookbook Committee. Our committee is in the process of finishing our cookbook, A Stir In The Mist: Tastes and Traditions of Niagara Falls. It is a collection of recipes from the Niagara Falls community and local restaurants. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go directly to the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club. Just recently I have relocated to Ohio, but still wanted to be involved with the book. After watching the movie Julie and Julia, I was inspired to share the great recipes from our cookbook and the experience I had making each of them. I hope you will enjoy the journey I will take stirring my way through A Stir In The Mist!

Let the "stirring" begin!

Well I have started this venture through the cookbook. First things first, each recipe I do will only be a little story about the steps it took to get to the final product. There will be no ingredients given out and no steps to how I got every great tasting recipe to turn out so delicious. That is for you to find out when you purchase or when someone else purchases"A Stir in the Mist" for you!!

I will apologize now for any grammar or punctuation mistakes I may make. I know I am coming from a family of educators, therefore I should know better about these things, but I may make a few mistakes. Soo lets get started....

Party Chicken

Party Chicken is a great dish to make, especially if you are in a hurry or have to work late. It is such an easy dish. You can prepare it earlier in the day and put in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook. The dish only takes 35 min in the oven. With this dish I chose to use my convection oven. Wow... I have never had the privilege to experience a convection oven until we moved into our new house. Chicken cooks great in a regular oven, but in the convection oven it cooks every part of the chicken equally. So the top is not to crispy and the bottom is just as tender as everywhere else.
This recipe calls for Swiss cheese. You can use any brand and any style Swiss cheese. If you really want to taste the Swiss cheese once everything is complete. I would use Lorraine Swiss or Heidi Ann if they do not have Lorraine. It has a stronger taste then regular Swiss. You can use either one. You will not be disappointed.














The stuffing mix, you do not have to cook before putting on the chicken. Some recipes ask you to cook prior to putting on the chicken, this recipe once it is in the oven with the other mixtures on top the stuffing will cook all on its own with great flavors.
Once everything is layered on top of the chicken you are set to bake!
While baking you can prepare either a rice dish or even fix up a nice vegetable to serve. Once you purchase your very own cookbook. You will find in our sides section, a variety of dishes you can make that will go along nicely with these entrees.

Once the chicken is done baking let it sit just for a little bit to cool down and calm down the sizzle.
I served a nice fresh salad with my Party Chicken dinner, it is totally up to you to choose your side.
I hope you enjoy and remember when serving each piece, be sure to include the cheesy crispy outside it is the best part. YUM!.
