Get Cookin' - Try Something New ~ Order up Chicken 5 Ways - #EPICURE #FEEDMEEPICURE #RECIPE

I was telling a good friend of mine the other day about our recipe section on the Epicure website and how fabulous it is for those nights when you're scratching your head trying to figure out what to feed your family for dinner and it occurred to me that things have been so darned busy lately that I haven't made time to visit it myself. 

I thought I'd do just that, and popped in today.  The fabulous folks at Epicure have updated the interface I see, and made it even simpler to use.  Gotta love 'em!! 


I love how you can look through your fridge and freezer and decide what you want to cook, or check out your pantry and choose a product that you might not have tried before and the system will very quickly give you a vast array of choices to inspire your own Kitchen creative to come out and play. 

I have often ordered a product or products from the catalog that I'd never tried before, or something new to the catalog and upon getting it home wondered what the heck I might make with it.   I love the website for that the most! 

Today I kept it simple.  I picked up a package of boneless chicken breasts when we were out grocery shopping.  I've got so many tried and trues, and go-tos but thought I'd take a peek and see what other inspiration I might find. 

I entered only chicken, under protein and left the rest blank.  You could certainly add your favourite product or a new one you haven't tried to whittle down the options a little further. 

Here are a few of the 375 recipes that popped up ~  hope that one of them inspires you!

The last is very similar to one of my go-tos lately.  Though each time I make it I add a different spice blend.  So far some of our favourites include Our Poco Picante Salsa Mix, Lemon Dilly Dip,  Herb and Garlic Dip Mix,  3 Onion Dip Mix, and of course Italian Dressing Mix.   I'll have to try the Greek Dressing Mix now and see how that comes out.   

I love how versatile our products are and how you can create many other fabulous dishes from products that were perhaps designed for somethng else entirely.  Have I mentioned lately how much I love having Epicure in my world? 

If you decide to try a new recipe this week we'd love to hear how it turned out! Did you make it straight up as per the recipe or change it up to make it your own?  Tell us about it! 

Happy Cookin'
