A week of travel and a madcap trip to the store on the way home from the airport left me last week with more than a few random ingredients and only a vague idea of what I was going to make! This was a time when my pantry saved me; I not only made this easy, family-friendly Curried Pork, but I also spun it four ways.
Curried Pork Stew – Leaning toward Thai.
Diners, Drive Ins & Dives is on Netflix this season, and this episode features the Sparrow Tavern in Astoria, New York – a run-down rock & roll type bar with gourmet style. One of their star items was the Sparrow Taverns Veggie Burger, and even the carnivores were going on about it. After I made them, I can see why – they’re flippin’ AWESOME! A bit of work, but the best Veggie Burger I’ve ever had!
The Sparrow Sweet Cayenne Mustard Sauce
This super easy Honey Roast Chicken with Spring Peas is one of the best chicken recipes I’ve ever had! I bet you’ll think so, too. The skin is golden, crunchy, chewy, sweet, and salty, crispy deliciousness. The meat juicy and flavorful, and the spring peas? Just the right touch. The resulting sauce? Heaven!

This quick, easy standby is a kid pleaser, for sure, made on the stovetop in minutes, using ingredients you’re likely to have on hand. Especially if you have any leftover or already cooked chicken or turkey. Serve your Updated Chicken a la King over popovers, maybe these easy and fun Popovers in a Muffin Tin and this old farmhouse staple seems fresh and current.

This old-fashioned recipe, Turkey or Chicken Newburg is a family fave…simple, comforting, delish. Think of this when you have leftover chicken or turkey – it’s a part of my “Twelve Days of Turkey” posting. (That “12 Days” was my cutesy way of naming my collection of over 40 dishes that are easily made with either leftover turkey or chicken.)
