August 2, 2010 By 2 Comments

Welcome to another issue of Around the Kitchen Table!

Today is the first day of August! While it’s still the middle of the summer, students and their families are planning for school and college and squeezing in that final vacation. Conveniently, this August provides us with five weekends and five chances to barbecue with friends and family, fish, relax with a good book, swim and play! And, even better, after these five, the next weekend is Labor Day! Plan well. Use the weekends wisely. Create memories. Risk a sunburn, or sore muscles and some embarrassing pictures. You’ll cherish them in the future!

Recipes this issue include Cajun Chicken Salad, Cheeseburger Bake, Sausage and Tortellini Stew (Slow Cooker Recipe), Baked Rice Pudding, and Orange Bundt Cake

Enter August’s Giveaway! Win a tin of  Watkins Natural Lavender Hand and Cuticle Salve, approved by the Natural Products Association. This salve is formulated with a premium beeswax base and natural oils that moisturize, nourish and revitalize hard-working hands. Provides a protective barrier from harsh elements; ideal for dry hands and cuticles; calming lavender fragrance.

Around The Kitchen Table – Watkins Newsletter – April 1, 2008 Issue

Welcome to another issue of Around the Kitchen Table!

One of the recipes featured in this issue is Chicken With Asparagus and Mushrooms made with fresh spring asparagus, chicken breasts, mushrooms, healthy Watkins Grapeseed Oil, and Watkins low-sodium Chicken Broth.

Watkins Grapeseed Oil is one of the only foods shown to not only lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, but also increase HDL (“good”) cholesterol – a distinct advantage over other oils. Original Grapeseed Oil has a light, neutral flavor that complements any cuisine and won’t clash with foods. It has the highest flashpoint of all cooking oils with less smoke and less danger of burning.

Chicken With Asparagus and Mushrooms

2 tablespoons Watkins Grapeseed Oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Pepper
1/4 cup chopped shallots or green onions
1 cup chicken broth prepared from 1 cup boiling water and 1 1/2 teaspoons Watkins Chicken Soup Base
12 ounces fresh asparagus spears or one 10-ounce package frozen asparagus spears
2 cups fresh mushrooms (about 4 ounces)
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Hot cooked rice

In a large, heavy skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Turn chicken over in skillet and sprinkle with pepper. Add shallots or green onions to skillet; cook for 2 minutes more. Drain off fat. Add chicken broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, snap off and discard woody bases from fresh asparagus. Cut asparagus into 2-inch lengths. Halve any large mushrooms. Add asparagus to skillet; cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or till asparagus is just tender and chicken is tender and no pink remains. Add mushrooms. Cover and cook for 1 minute.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken, asparagus, and mushrooms to a serving platter. Add vinegar to liquid in skillet. Bring to boiling; boil over high heat for 5 minutes, or till liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup. Remove skillet from heat. Using a wire whisk, blend margarine or butter into liquid in skillet. Spoon over chicken; sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve with rice.

Other recipes featured in this issue are Chicken with Sugar Snap Peas and Spring Herbs, Smothered Grilled Chicken Breast, Roasted Stuffed Vegetables, Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing, Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies, and Lemon Truffle Pie.
