Waffle Battered Fried Chicken #MoviesandMunchies

We went to visit our son, Chuck, earlier this month.  Chuck lives in Virginia and the first night that we were there we decided to watch a movie.  I requested that we watch Hidden Figures as I had chosen it for our Movies and Munchies film this month.   

I told him that I was going to make a recipe inspired by the movie and he said "Just make Fried Chicken, it's a movie about black women in Virginia".  Sure enough, the very first food scene was a gathering at a church picnic and the first food on the table was Fried Chicken.

Celebrating Black History Month with #WinePW

Each year the Wine Pairing Weekend Group celebrates Black History Month by showcasing wines made by BIPOC owned wineries.  This year I am sharing a bottle of Chardonnay from Brown Estate in Napa Valley.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken #MultiCookerMonday

Most of the time I try to feed my family healthy food.  I try to stay away from fatty, processed foods.  I air fry instead of deep fry.  I serve up lots of fresh fruits and veggies.  I shop locally and organically when possible.  But every once in a while, I get a hankering for some good old greasy, buttermilk coated, deep fried chicken.

It is Multi-Cooker Monday.......

Pretzel Crusted Chicken Strips #FoodieExtravaganza

Tender strips of chicken breasts dredged in sourdough pretzel crumbs and fried to a crispy golden brown.  These amazing chicken strips are perfect for dinner served with traditional sides or as appetizers with honey mustard for dipping.

It's time for a Holiday Edition of Foodie Extravaganza.  Happy Birthday America!!!!
