Good enough to eat? I think so!

Tonight I made turkey soup from homemade stock.  Last night I boiled down a turkey and chicken carcass with carrots, celery, onions, salt and pepper.  Today I finished off the soup by straining the stock and adding fresh carrots, celery, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, brown rice and the leftover chicken from the beer can chicken I made yesterday for supper.  We also had grilled cheese sandwiches on the cheddar beer bread I baked yesterday.

Pita Pizzas

This is not really a special recipe but just an idea to help save carbs when you make pizza at home.  We use whole wheat pitas to make individual pizzas and top them with our favourite toppings.  Today I used mushrooms, red and green peppers, tomatoes, onions, pepperoni and canadian bacon as well as mozzarella.  My favourite thing to do is to combine the regular pizza sauce with buffalo chicken wing sauce for more of a kick.

Rotisserie Chicken on the bbq

I was very excited to try this out and it turned out great.  I took a rather large chicken and did a dry rub of smoked salt, montreal chicken seasoning, granulated garlic and rosemary and then put it in a plastic bag for several hours (I recommend 3 or more).  Then I put a head of garlic and a lemon inside the cavity of the chicken to prepare it for the barbecue.  To cook the chicken, we preheated the grill to 225 C and then turned off two of the burners.  We put in a drip tray beneath the chicken and filled it with white wine and positioned the chicken on the non lit side of the bbq for indirect heating.  It took about 2 hours and came out just wonderful.  Here is the picture:
