Black Bean Soup with Chicken Sausage and Honey Crisp Apple

December 3, 2013 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 5 Comments

Black Bean Soup with Chicken Sausage and Honey Crisp Apple Serves 8 Note: When I’m preparing homemade soup, if I don’t have a stash of my own chicken or veggie stock I buy organic stock, not broth, from my local market. The stock is less salty than canned broth and while it’s more expensive, it’s[…]

Toasted Cashew Chicken with Scallions & Fresh Cilantro

January 15, 2013 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 5 Comments

Mariel here. For the past two months, my kitchen has been under construction. When we moved into this house last spring, we knew we had several projects that needed to be addressed…with the kitchen and bathrooms being at the top of the list. “Oh, it’ll be so fun to make our home exactly like we[…]

Chicken Enchiladas with Sweet Onions & Shredded Jack

July 3, 2012 by Mariel Goodson 15 Comments

Mary Anne here. I know that I’ve been absent from our beloved blog recently, but I have some pretty hefty excuses. I won’t bore y’all with each and every scintillating detail, but suffice it to say that as Mariel prepares to become a mama, this older version of motherhood is having a different sort of[…]

Lettuce Wraps Stuffed with Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry

March 22, 2012 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 16 Comments

Mary Anne here. This past weekend, when I ran into an old friend at the supermarket, he casually asked if I had stopped creating new recipes for Feast and was simply overseeing Mariel’s work. I literally stopped dead in my tracks. Two things struck me about the comment: first, I would never stop cooking, and[…]

Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Gouda, Sage, and Prosciutto

November 8, 2011 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 11 Comments

Mary Anne here. It would seem that I’m having a love affair with fresh sage these days. It started in August when I grew weary of mayonnaise-laden pasta salads and concocted a Potato and Canadian Bacon Galette laced with sage and Gruyere. In September, the itch for this herb returned and I whipped up a[…]

Chicken Pot Pie with Sweet Potatoes, Leeks and Portabella Mushrooms

November 1, 2011 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 18 Comments

Mary Anne here. When my children were toddling tots, I struggled to find a dinner that pleased all three of them and their dad as well. Ravioli, Linguini with Clam Sauce, Chicken/Turkey Potpie, and Chicken Tenders were about the only choices they could all grudgingly agree upon. (Note: The links for Ravioli and Linguini with[…]

Mango-Spinach Salad Topped with Oven-Baked Panko Chicken and Carrot-Ginger Dressing

June 28, 2011 by Mariel Goodson 12 Comments

Mariel here. Brain. Is. Fried. I have four deadlines in advance of the July Fourth festivities so my vocab is running on empty – so empty that I stood snapping and clucking my tongue at a bewildered cashier, searching for what to call that tube dealie I use to drink iced coffee. I was literally[…]

No-Grill Sweet & Tangy Barbeque Chicken

May 3, 2011 by Mariel Goodson 20 Comments

Mariel here. For the past week-and-a-half, I’ve been recovering from a minor surgery – a procedure that necessitated filling a few heavy-duty prescriptions that all but obliterated my appetite. When you run a cooking blog, that isn’t such a great thing. Practically force-feeding myself, I’ve been subsisting on a steady diet of white rice and[…]

The College Cook: Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

February 22, 2011 by Mariel Goodson 7 Comments

Mary Anne here. This is a guest post from Mariel’s step-sister, Kate. As I’ve mentioned in the past, ours is an unconventional, extended family and despite our scattered households, we all gather ’round the table several times a year to celebrate birthdays, holidays and any-given-Sundays. Even though Kate and I are only “related” in a[…]

Braise-Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables

December 28, 2010 by Mariel Goodson 4 Comments

Mariel here. Looks like we’re in for a wild and wooly winter, if December is a harbinger of things to come. In honor of the recent “Brrricane” (my favorite moniker for this year’s post-Christmas blizzard), I whipped up a few hearty one-pot wonders including our sweet and savory Pot Roast, as well as this Braise-Roasted[…]

Caribbean Jerky Chicky

December 16, 2010 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 8 Comments

Mary Anne here. Recently I had the good fortune to spend a few days on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. It was absolute paradise, particularly during this spate of blustery wet weather here on the east coast! As we basked in the glow of emerald green waters and relished the warm island breezes, we[…]

Spinach Salad with Balsamic Chicken, Roasted Tomatoes and Greek Olives

September 20, 2010 by Mariel Goodson 4 Comments

Mariel here. Last weekend, I had a hankering for my mom’s incredible Herb & Garlic Roasted Chicken with Figs. As I’ve mentioned many times before, however, patience is not my strong suit, so the thought of marinating this dish overnight all but killed my urge to indulge. Incidentally, I had also spent the previous day eating[…]

Chunky Chicken Salad with Cherries and Walnuts

July 19, 2010 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 6 Comments

Mary Anne here. Our frugal-yet-fabulous mantra would be a whole lot harder to maintain without scooping up seasonal fruits and veggies. And right now, in the midst of this sultry July, Bing cherries are at their peak. While we’ve all seen recipes for chicken salad with grapes, it occurred to me that it might prove[…]

Pineapple Barbeque-Glazed Chicken with Mango Salsa

June 30, 2010 by Mariel Goodson 78 Comments

Mariel here. Like last week’s Spice-Rubbed Steak with Chimchurri, this recipe can be classified under “Indoor Barbecuing” aka, “recreating festive, summery foods in a small, cramped Manhattan space sans an actual BBQ.” A real mouthful. Whether you choose to slap this chicken on the barbie or roast it right in the oven, this delicious dish[…]

June 21, 2010 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 5 Comments

Ginger Chicken with Broccoli and Glazed Walnuts

May 18, 2010 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 8 Comments

Mary Anne here. Recently, thanks to a tumultuous tummy, I’ve been revisiting an old friend in the kitchen: ginger. This multi-talented ingredient reputedly has multiple medicinal uses ranging from an anti-inflammatory, a diaphoretic that cleanses the system of accumulated toxins, and most popularly, an aid for nausea due to pregnancy, motion sickness and other digestive[…]

Steve’s Sticky-Sweet Orange Chicken

April 19, 2010 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse Leave a Comment

Mary Anne here. When I posted my brother Stephen’s Spare Ribs recipe, I mentioned that when the Ellicotts get together for family reunions, we really know how to “throw down.” And this past week was no exception. Steve and I – along with our 85-year-old mom (and frequent Feast on the Cheap star) – packed[…]
