I made three different French Fridays with Dorie recipes this week. First, I made up a batch of the corn soup and got to use up fresh corn from my CSA basket. I added three optional toppings (spicy pepper, roasted corn and bacon lardons) and loved the contrast between the creamy soup and the crunchy toppings.
I also made the Creamy Cheesy Garlicky Rice with Spinach dish. It was all of those things and more- easy to assemble and fun to eat. I used fresh spinach that I wilted on the stovetop but next time I might sub in frozen, thawed, chopped spinach to save a step and save some dishes.
Fianlly, I made Cinnamon Crunch Chicken. Take ordinary chicken breasts and saute them in a mix of olive oil and butter. Add a sauce made up of LU cinnamon cookies and creme fraiche. This was uber-delicious and a big hit with the shorter members of my household. I look forward to catching up with everyone else's posts now that the hurricane cleanup is officially over in my house!

Cookies and chicken?! This I have to try
All three look really good, Mary. It's fun to see them all in a row on a splurge. Hope things are well and that the Hurricane Cleanup is OVER very soon. Hugs.
All three of these were winners, for sure.
Those storms didn't leave a lot of friends behind, did they? Glad you are finishing up on your clean up.
wow! you had a little FFwD festival on your hands! Glad you liked them! I bet the chicken was good with the creamy "risotto" rice! And how nice that the kids liked it too!
Nice job catching up with the recipes after all the craziness! The toppings for the corn soup were my favorite part of the dish - yours look very tasty!
What a great three-for one! I liked this month's selection of recipes a lot, even though I wasn't able to try the chicken. I'll have to fit it in though - there were so many mixed reviews, I'm curious what my reaction will be!
Glad the little ones liked the chicken! We loved the corn soup.
