For this week's Friday-Food-Frenzy, we're all about chicken. My mother's Chicken with Mango Chutney was her most celebrated chicken salad dish served on numerous occasions and featured in the Cooking Club Cookbook. However, as I weave my way through her myriad recipes, I'm learning she often had many different versions of a dish. With a quick substitution, Judy's Chicken Salad with Mango Chutney becomes Judy's Chicken Curry Salad. Take away the curry and add some mayonnaise and some grapes and voila, Judy's Traditional Chicken Salad. … [Read more...]

Judy’s Chicken Salad with Mango Chutney
June 20, 2011 By 6 Comments
It is finally consistently hot here in the concrete jungle so I wanted to try to replicate a dish of Mom’s that celebrates summertime: light and refreshing with some zest and crunch. Judy’s Chicken Salad with Mango Chutney immediately came to mind—actually finding that recipe was a different story. I have such bitter-sweet memories of this meal. The last time I remember eating the dish was at my baby shower for my first child, ten years ago. As per usual, Mom was the consummate hostess. She somehow pulled off a surprise shower for me with … [Read more...]
Secret Recipe Club: Crab Cakes
June 24, 2013 By 8 Comments
My favorite day of the month is the Secret Recipe Club reveal day. I’m honored to be a part of this diverse international group of food bloggers. In case you forgot, everyone in the Secret Recipe Club gets “assigned” a blog from which we are supposed to pick a dish to cook. But, it’s all done in secrecy. It isn’t until the ultimate reveal day (today) that everyone showcases the dishes and discovers who’s been their secret foodie link. This club has provided me valuable exposure to blogs I might not otherwise encounter. My assignment this … [Read more...]

We often grill sirloin steaks for dinner. When I don't have the ingredients to make Mom’s Mystery Marinade we use on our flank steaks, I've started making a new favorite pesto variation as our replacement topping.I always have plenty of containers of slivered almonds in my pantry(for Mom’s Mango Chutney Chicken Salad and her awesome Venezuelan Cole Slaw) so I decided to add them to the original basil pesto recipe, in addition to some plum tomatoes.Tomatoes sliced and readyThe tomatoes and almonds add a subtle fruity flavor and slight … [Read more...]
Tomato and Almond Pesto Sauce
August 6, 2012 By 6 Comments
My garden is VIBRANT right now and my basil plants are leading the charge. There’s no better feeling than to be able to pick veggies and herbs fresh from your garden and then to use them in a recipe. And, thank god I wised up and learned that making homemade pesto is actually easy and a lot cheaper than any store-bought variety. I now make about one full Ball jar of pesto a week to keep up with the rapidly growing basil plant. These jars line my freezer shelves like trophies. We’ve been enjoying pesto on everything from scrambled eggs to … [Read more...]
Chicken Tortilla Soup for the Soul
October 5, 2012 By 2 Comments
I have a sick kid home from school today, and it's only the third full week of school! While I wasn't planning to use my slow cooker until this weekend to make apple butter with our freshly-picked apples, my son's rising temperature and his pathetic putty-like demeanor prompted me to make a fresh batch of the soothing Chicken Tortilla Soup. In my book, any dish containing chicken broth means comfort and warmth and lots of flavor- the perfect remedy for any illness. Mom's Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe I used calls for shredded chicken. … [Read more...]
Slow Cooking: Chicken Tortilla Soup
January 4, 2012 By 5 Comments
It's been so mild out, who's thought about soup? Today is literally the first day I've worn a hat and gloves and a winter coat to combat the freezing cold temperatures. Making Chicken Tortilla soup in my slow cooker seemed like the perfect indoor remedy. I haven't used the slow cooker since my last whirl with French Onion Soup and I was looking forward to the smelling the soupy aromas all day long. In my book, any dish containing chicken broth means comfort and warmth and lots of flavor. I found a soup recipe from Mom's chaotic … [Read more...]

September 21, 2011 By 5 Comments
Yesterday morning MyJudytheFoodie took part in the Hellman’s Mayonniase Chicken Challenge. We were right at home as My Judy the Foodie uses mayonnaise in many of the celebrated recipes, most importantly the critically acclaimed Chicken Salad with Mango Chutney - it boasts some nice heaping spoonfuls of the mayoey goodness! So, what happens at a Hellmann’s Chicken Challenge you rightfully ask? Well, Hellmann’s Parmesan-Crusted Chicken is one of the most downloaded recipes from the Hellmann’s website. Our friends at Hellmann’s are on a … [Read more...]
Ignite Your (Childs’) Love of Broccoli

At My Judy the Foodie, I've got mayonnaise on the brain. And that's a good thing! After participating in the Hellmann's Chicken Challenge on Tuesday, where I learned many new mayonnaise-y ways to shake up chicken-for-dinner-dishes, I got to thinking. Surely in Mom's treasure trove of recipes there must be some other fun food combinations that use the most celebrated condiment in the world? While Judy's Chicken Salad with Mango Chutney is one of these faves, so is her Broccoli Casserole - especially for veg-a-phobic kids! Mom was very … [Read more...]
Mango Guacamole

Apparently tomorrow, November 13th, is National Guacamole Day. I'm not quite sure who coins these days but, if it gives me another excuse to make and celebrate guacamole then, I'm happy. It's hard to believe 3 years ago I had never even purchased avocados from the store. Now I feel as though they're staples on my kitchen counter. It's also rare that you'll find me without one or two avocados ripening in a brown paper bag in the pantry. I still enjoy watching one of my first videos on "How to Make Guacamole": if you're reading this … [Read more...]

Having Fun Making Whoopie (Pies)…

Visiting my daughter two weeks ago at her sleep away camp in Maine certainly took me down memory lane since I went away to camp for 9 summers in a row. Of our two day trip, one full day was open-ended so I decided to take my son and husband to one of my favorite camp“Trip Day” excursions, Orchard Beach. Orchard Beach is an old-school beach community that has an awesome old time amusement park along the beach- imagine a higher-end Coney Island. While you won’t see people fishing off the piers with raw chicken on a string, the beach is jam … [Read more...]
Mango, Avocado and Black Bean Salad
June 18, 2015 By Leave a Comment
My prerequisites for a summertime salad are: it must be easy to make, it muse take little to no time in the kitchen, and it must taste light and refreshing. Oh, and bonus if it incorporates the use of fruit. This Mango, Avocado and Black Bean salad recipe is one of my favorites because it contains all of the qualities listed above. And, it's beautifully colorful too. We do love mango and try to get our fill during the summer either as a casual snack, sliced into pieces, or in our soup recipe, chilled Mango Gazpacho --it's a nice … [Read more...]

I wrote an article a while back for Bush's Bean's Around the Table campaign where I expressed that "mealtime doesn’t have to be challenging, nor does it have to be boring. Sometimes, just making simple modifications to the meals kids already love helps open up a plethora of new dining options for everyone to enjoy." Last night was one of those nights. … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving: Asian BBQ Chicken Wings
November 17, 2016 By Leave a Comment
I promised a week full of slow cookery to provide ease of use meals that require little to no thinking. But, I'm focused on Thanksgiving recipes and needed to share this delicious one for BBQ chicken wings. Admittedly, while these wings don't bake in a slow cooker, the recipe is as easy to prepare, and it would be the perfect addition to your appetizer hit list for the big turkey day. I recently had dinner over my neighbors and fell in love with this recipe because it's so basic to make yet, it tastes so decadent. The combination of soy … [Read more...]
Sesame Chicken

Taking matters into my own hands, I figured I'd try to recreate our favorite Sesame Chicken recipe from our local Chines restaurant. Living in NYC, it's way too easy have to have food delivered or take out and you can get quite lazy about cooking. But, when you actually read the ingredient list for this recipe, there aren't many items that you probably don't already have in your stocked pantry, and the cooking instructions are simple. Who doesn't want to have another celebrated chicken recipe to add to their meal repertoire? I'm not … [Read more...]

Today's guest post is from Donna Sheynfeld, author of The Newlyfed food blog. Donna is a newly-married New York City teacher recently transplanted to Lubbock, Texas for a year. The Newlyfed blog came to fruition during Donna's quest for healthy eating. She soon realized that so much of the food in the US is complete junk. And, since Lubbock is a fast food and drive thru haven, Donna was committed to paying more attention to what she eats and documenting her journey. Here's what Donna has to say: I have been attempting to become a … [Read more...]
Asian Chicken Pasta
April 29, 2015 By 1 Comment
picture shown without broccoli This past week I've been in a major time crunch as we were hosting a BIG EVENT. So, the first thing that fell by the wayside was our dinners. I just didn't have the energy or time to deal. I was desperate for a dish that I could make quickly and leave for the kids and a sitter for when they got home. While I'd admitted that I'm not a huge fan of serving pasta for dinner (because I have my suspicions that at least one of my kids might default to pasta for school lunch every day) this Asian Chicken Pasta dish … [Read more...]
Chicken Tikka Masala
February 6, 2014 By 3 Comments
Somehow I've fallen into a tiny chicken rut again. I guess that's ok if I can continue to keep our meals diversified enough. I've certainly put some mileage on our Slow Cooker Chicken Chilli recipe. The weather has been so miserable these past few weeks that I've been compelled to use my slow cooker as much as possible. I was quite surprised to find an incomplete recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala in Mom's archives. I remember eating absolutely no homemade Indian-inspired food as a kid, nor did we eat out at Indian restaurants. While I was … [Read more...]
