Pickle Brine Chicken
Use pickle brine next time you feel like cooking chicken. There aren't a lot of great uses for leftover pickle juice. I recently heard that some people like to drink this stuff after jogging, which I found shocking since I had no idea people still jogged. Like most brined recipes, the payoff is in the texture and moisture content and not necessarily in the taste. But this dish does have a nice little twang. So the next time you have nothing left in the pickle jar but the juice, you now know what to do.
Homemade Four Cheese Ravioli
This homemade ravioli recipe includes a pesto-Alfredo sauce and marinara. I wanted to recreate the ravioli dish that you get at Maggiano's Italian restaurant and it turned out great! Don't be intimidated by the large list of ingredients, it is well worth it.
Classic Cherries Jubilee
Cherries jubilee is a refreshing dessert, especially after a hearty meal. This does have to be prepared immediately before serving, but does not take a lot of time. Your guests will enjoy the blue flames when the brandy is ignited!
