Not Following Directions Equals a Favorite Recipe

This recipe was first shared with you on December 29, 2010, my first year of blogging at Calamity Kate's Kitchen. 

 "So I thought, just for a change of pace, I would share this wing recipe with you. This recipe was a total fluke, I made it and then of course... read the recipe. Normally this would be a terrible idea, but it worked out and became one of my favorite chicken wing recipes. I have adapted this recipe a few times, but with the addition of this creamy and slightly sweet sauce... the recipe is amazing. It is defiantly going to come as a wake up call to your stomach after all this heavy, buttery, creamy, and sweet holiday food. " This was my original description of this recipe and my total lack of patience with recipes and with following directions.  Yes, I do have a problem following directions. Yes it used to be on almost every report card I ever got as a child!

The Best Chicken Stew

What do you do with left over chicken and vegetables? How about making a chicken stew that will make you like the bowl and ask for more. Well, that is  what my dad did!

This is a recipe that I make all of the time with different variations. Living alone for years has not taught me cooking portions. I still cook for a family of 4 with leftovers. So as I make too much,  I freeze extra chicken or meat and always stock up on canned and frozen vegetables and fruits when they are on sale. Other things I always keep in stock are frozen or canned broth, canned Rome tomatoes pasta and pasta sauce (whether I make it and freeze it or just buy the stuff in the jar).
