Dear Fans of Hounds Who Cook,
Our girl made Hot Fudge Sauce this weekend and now is fairly cocky about any type of sugary sauce being a cinch to make. For instance, just now she took out an apple to eat and had a great desire to dip it in caramel sauce. So she made some. Right in the middle of her deadline, with the kitchen all clean as it was, she put three ingredients into a double boiler and just let it double boil to her desired thickness. It was crazy good. Here's how she did it:
Crazy Good Caramel Sauce
1 cup brown sugar (or white)
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup half and half (or cream)
Whisk all together in double boiler. When sugar is dissolved and texture is smooth, cook for five minutes on high, or as long as needed for desired consistency.

~ Grilled Chicken Sandwiches with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese
Dear Fans of Hounds Who Cook,
Prepare yourselves for a taste sensation. This is so good that we made it Friday night and already we are cooking it up again for tomorrow's guests. We have taken to buying whole chickens when they are on sale for less than $1 per pound. Our girl removes the skin, cuts out the breast for her cookery and we dogs and the cat share the legs, wings and back for dinner. It's a very equitable arrangement since we hounds went to an all-raw diet.
We started with a recipe from Epicurious.com and went hound wild from there.
Grilled Chicken Sandwiches with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra vigin olive oil (use the oil from the sundried tomatoes below)
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
2 onions
4 french bread rolls
1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes - drained of their oil
arugula
goat cheese (we used feta)
mayonnaise, if desirous
Put vinegar, olive oil, garlic and rosemary in a casserole pan and marinate the chicken for at least an hour. Grill the chicken breast til cooked through or cook on the stove top and slice cooked breasts into diagonal strips. Layer cooked chicken with other sandwich ingredients into cut rolls. These were so yummy we'll make them again right away.
