I have always loved food, but despised cooking. I remember how my parents would force me to learn how to cook, and I'm thankful for that, because now I know how. Now that I am older, I actually do enjoy cooking. So here I will post my food adventures as well as recipes to some of my favorites, and hopefully yours too!

Disclaimer
I love food. And some of the recipes here are eddited versions of the ones I've found on the interwebs. Please check out the original recipes, if you do not enjoy my own. (Each editted recipe has a link to the original recipe at the end of the post)

Food Adventures#1.2 -- A Day With Priscilla: Evening

After a long day in Japantown, Priscilla and I traveled back to her house, where we made a delicious dinner for the two of us. She planned on trying a recipe for Honey Pineapple Chicken, so we had to go buy ingredients. Although the cooking time was much too long for two hungry girls, it was well worth it!

{ Honey Pineapple Chicken, right out of the oven! }

{ Served over rice, in huge cups! }

I highly recommend this recipe. Priscilla and I both decided that this would go much better with pasta + a white-wine sauce on the side, rather then rice.

Honey Pineapple Chicken
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, boneless. (You may also use chicken thighs, which we did because I don't line chicken breasts.)
1 stick of butter or margarine
A pinch of Garlic Salt
1 - 15 oz. can of Pineapple Chunks
1 Cup of juice, from the canned Pineapples
1/4 Cup of Honey
1/3 Cup of Brown Sugar
2 Teaspoon of Flour (I actually used about three tablespoons of flour when I was covering the chicken, so roughly this amount.)
1 spoon full of cornstarch (Stirred in water for gravy)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*
2. Cover the chicken in flour
3. Melt the butter in a pan
4. Brown the chicken
5. Move the chicken to a baking dish.
6. Add honey, brown sugar, garlic salt and pineapple juice. Stir the cornstarch in water and add that as well.
7. Stir gently until thickened.
8. Add the pineapples to the baking dish where the chicken is. Pour the sauce on top.
9. Bake for 45 minutes.
