Chicken Thighs with Wide Buttered Noodles, Fennel and Grapes

I love food that is simple and flavourful with minimal ingredients.  I have found the most tasty, yet elegant chicken recipe!  You can easily serve this to your family as a weeknight dinner, or it would be perfect for a formal or holiday dinner as well.  It is Tyler Florence's "Chicken Thighs with Wide Buttered Noodles, Fennel and Grapes", from his cookbook entitled Tyler's Ultimate.

The combination of the crispy chicken, fennel bulbs, butter and parsley is to die for.  I have made this dish many times for my family and it's definitely a favourite, even with the picky eaters!

I took photos of the actual recipe from the book, and posted them at the bottom of this post.  Try making this for yourself, and let me know what you think!  I'm sure you'll be adding it to your list of favourite recipes too! ~Janice ❤

Look What I Found On Top Of My Lychee!

Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed eating lychee fruit.  You peel the brown outer shell and eat the sweet juicy white fruit that is inside, discarding the pit in the center.

The other day, I bought a bag of lychees and look what I discovered!  The inner child in me shrieked with delight as I saw what looked like a tiny snail on top of a lychee! It wasn't a real snail of course, but  I had to do a double-take nevertheless!

Ah yes...it's the little things in life that give me the most joy!  ~Janice ❤
