Crispy Chicken with Golden Raisin Compote

Made this dish from a recipe in this month's Food and Wine Magazine. Click here for the recipe. I used organic chicken and Trader Joe's Three Grain Blend to substitute the buttered farro.  The Three Grain Blend is also a good substitute for white rice. Here are some photos below:

Brunch at the Maralit's

Just when you thought the Holiday's were over, the Maralit's kick it up a notch with a killer spread and some good times!  This was probably the first time I never had to ask folks to say "cheese" -- it was smiles all around!  Thanks Marlan and Leslie!  Check out the photos below.

Sunday morning breakfast

Sunday mornings are the best -- I get a chance to enjoy breakfast with the family rather than rushing out the door to get to work.  Here are some photos of the little guy making multi-grain and banana Belgian waffles with maple syrup...real maple syrup (it makes a difference).  I shot wide open at 1.8 so you'll notice a really shallow depth of field, especially of the waffles...still a habit I'm trying to break.

Anyway, I'm already thinking about what to make this Sunday.
