Yesterday I decided it was time to have a little company…so we invited our daughter, Kimberly and son-in-law Cliff out for supper.
I fixed a very simple supper of FRESH FROM OUR FARM PINTO BEANS, the last of summer’s corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes, and Cheesy Bacon Chicken—plus Yummy cherry bars of chewy goodness for desert.
I made the Yummy Cherry Bars first-
Press two-thirds of a sugar cookie dough into a greased 9″ pan and bake for 15 minutes.
Since Terry has Celiac’s Disease I made my gluten free sugar cookie recipe in the morning so it would be nice and ready by 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
While the dough is cooking in the oven, take 2 coups of frozen cherries and 1/3 cup of raspberry preserves over low heat for 10 minutes. You may thicken with cornstarch, if you like.
My cherries were a gift from a blog friend Suz, in St. Helens, Oregon.
Take the dough out of the oven, spread the fruit over the dough, then crumble the remaining sugar cookie dough over the the the fruit and bake until done.
The result is a crisp, chewy bar oozing with goodness!
In a large skillet cook several pieces of bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and drain. Discard all but a tiny, tiny amount of bacon fat (I save our bacon fat for use later), add seasoned chicken (salt, pepper and paprika each side of each piece of chicken) and cook until no longer pink inside.
Combine easy-melting cheese cubed (4-6 oz) in 1/4 c -or a little more of chicken broth and cook over medium-low heat until cheese is melted. Spoon sauce over chicken, sprinkle bacon on top and serve!
I hope you enjoy!
Love,
Linda

It all looks and sounds delicious. The recipes look so very diffrent from ours that I really don’t think it would translate into English cooking but how I wish it would.

I love both your rainbows and this lovely food!! I suppose Boomer didn’t get any “doggybag” from that delicious dinner???? I hope you don’t have to experience that wretched storm that has already devastated half of Jamaica and now rages over Haiti. They said he was heading for Florida next. Your posts are so bright and full of life, I’m only playing moaning Myrtle nowadays!!

That storm is scary. But we are way across the United States in the Rocky Mountains. I hope the storm plays out before it gets to land.

That chewy cherry slice looks gorgeous. I have frozen raspberries in the freezer… Can I have the sugar cookie recipe so I can test it out on the Husband (oh, and me, of course…)?

I forget with all the other work you do on the farm that you still have to do the regular stuff we all do — like cooking meals (better than I do obviously). Yummmm.
