Tenderloin with Porcini Crust

This recipe comes from Bon Appetit via epicurious (photo not mine). I am a mushroom lover but when cooking for others, many people reject the texture of cooked mushrooms.

Superbowl Cake

This is from last year. But I didn’t make a superbowl cake in 06 or 07, so I thought to put this one in.

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1 inch chunks1 tbsp olive oil1 tbsp soy sauce1 box of whole grain seasoned rice (such as pilaf) or 2 heaping [...]
