Meanwhile,5 minutes before the potatoes are cooked,place the pancetta on a sheet pan & roast for 5 minutes.Add the drained potatoes,olive oil,1 tsp.salt & 1/2 tsp.pepper to the pan & toss w/a metal spatula.Roast for 45 minutes,tossing occasionally,till they are very browned & crisp.Dont worry if the skins come off---that's part of the crispiness.Sprinkle w/parsley,salt & pepper.Serve hot. ]]> Recipes to try http://www.copykatchat.com/recipes-try/58353.htm http://www.copykatchat.com/recipes-try/58352.htm Sat, 25 May 2013 04:17:19 GMT From,Barefoot Contessa Foolproof,by Ina Garten.2012

Toss the kale w/the olive oil,1 tsp.kosher salt & 1/2 tsp.pepper.Divide kale among 3 sheet pans or roast them in batches.If you put too much kale in one pan,it will steam rather than roast & will never become crisp.Roast for 15 minutes,till crisp.Sprinkle w/fleur de sel & serve hot. ]]> Recipes to try http://www.copykatchat.com/recipes-try/58352.htm http://www.copykatchat.com/recipes-try/58351.htm Sat, 25 May 2013 03:44:41 GMT I don't drink coffee, but this sounds interesting

Perfect Iced Coffee

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/perfect-iced-coffee-recipe/index.html

Ingredients:

1 pound ground coffee (a good, rich roast)
Half-and-half (healthy splash per serving)
Sweetened condensed milk (2 to 3 tablespoons per serving)

Directions:
Cook's Note: Can use skim milk, 2-percent milk, whole milk, sugar, artificial sweeteners, syrups...adapt to your liking!

In a large container, mix the ground coffee with 8 quarts water. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for eight hours or overnight.
Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set over a pitcher or other container. Pour the coffee/water mixture through the strainer, allowing all the liquid to run through. Discard the grounds. Place the coffee liquid in the fridge and allow to cool. Use as needed.

To make iced coffee, pack a glass full of ice cubes. Fill the glass two-thirds full with the coffee liquid. Add a healthy splash of half-and-half. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (can use plain sugar instead) and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the half-and-half and/or sweetened condensed milk as needed. ]]> Recipes to try AllieK http://www.copykatchat.com/recipes-try/58351.htm http://www.copykatchat.com/recipes-try/58350.htm Sat, 25 May 2013 03:40:04 GMT From,Barefoot Contessa Foolproof,by Ina Gartin 2012.

Chicken in Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Sauce

Mediterranean flavors such as sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, capers, artichoke hearts, tomatoes and white wine simmer together to flavor chicken breasts in this mouthwatering slow-cooker dish.

Servings:8

Ingredients

2 cans (10 3/4 ounces each) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken with Herbs Soup or Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1 cup Chablis or other dry white wine * (I used dry Vermouth)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pitted kalamata or oil-cured olive
2 tbsp. drained capers
2 cloves garlic , minced
1 can (14 ounces) artichoke heart , drained and chopped
1 cup drained and coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts halves (about 2 pounds) (I cut mine in large chunks)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves (optional)
Hot cooked rice , egg noodles or mashed potatoes

Directions

Stir the soup, wine, olives, capers, garlic, artichokes and tomatoes in a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours** or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with the basil, if desired. Serve with the rice.
*You can substitute Swanson® Chicken Broth for the wine, if desired.

** Or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours

Charlene’s notes: This was excellent! The only thing I would change would be to use chicken thighs instead of breasts. I cut the chicken breasts into large chunks and put them in the sauce to cook. I think it needed salt and I put some fresh squeezed lemon juice on mine. ]]> Tried and True CharleneG http://www.copykatchat.com/tried-true/58349.htm http://www.copykatchat.com/copykat-chat/58348.htm Fri, 24 May 2013 11:47:58 GMT Good Morning!

I pulled part of a ham out of the freezer so will have that along with mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn on the cob.

It is a cloudy morning here. The rain started about 11 last night and cooled the temps right down. Should be down into the 70's today.

I am making goulash, green beans and some garlic bread.
