Orange rolls were a favorite of mine growing up. 🍊The kind from the store that you would bake. When asked what treat I would want when shopping I would pick orange rolls. I knew that when I grew up I would still want the fond memories of these. 🧡So I asked Bruce to recreate them a while back using my favorite oranges. Cara Cara. They are seedless, bright orange and so tasty. These rolls are glazed with an orange sauce made with Cara Cara juice, sugar, butter and cream. 🫶🏼#orangerolls #baked #caracara #recipes #theperksofbeingus

Mom knows best. ❤️ Count on quality chicken f Mom knows best. ❤️Count on quality chicken from @sandersonfarmschicken every single time. #Ad We have been cooking with Sanderson Farms products for years. We can always count on how fresh & juicy the chicken is. I know that Ida would have loved watching Bruce make this dish. And we would have loved to sit at the table with our family and enjoy it one more time with her. We sure miss Ida.Ingredients for Chicken Fricassee:1 package Sanderson Farms whole cut up chicken 4 tablespoons of butter1 medium-sized carrots, diced finely1 celery stalk, diced finely1 medium white onion, diced finely8 ounces brown mushrooms quartered1/4 tsp salt & white pepper3 Tbs. flour3 cups chicken stock + 1 cup white wine, heated up 2 sprigs thyme & parsley + 2 bay leaves tied in twine2 egg yolks + 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whisked togetherParsley for garnish1. Heat up 1 tablespoon butter in hot cast iron pan & add carrots & celery. Cook for 1 minute, then add onion, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from pan, set aside.2. Add 3 Tbs. butter into pan, & add chicken pieces skin side down. Lightly brown chicken for about 6-7 minutes, on all sides. Now cover with lid & cook 10 minutes, turning chicken over half way thru. 3. Sprinkle half the flour over chicken, cover & cook for 5 minutes. Turn chicken over, sprinkle rest of flour, cook for 5 minutes covered.4. Remove chicken onto a clean plate. De-glaze pan with broth-wine mixture. Add the cooked veggies, & mushrooms into the broth, then add chicken, & herbs. Simmer covered for 35 minutes. 5. Remove chicken onto a plate. Using a strainer, strain out all liquid into an easy to pour container. Remove herbs & veggies back into the pan. Remove grease from the broth, and pour back into pan. 6. Whisk cream and egg and very quickly add 3 large spoons of the hot chicken gravy into the egg and cream mixture to temper it. Then add that back into the pan. Stir the sauce. Add the chicken back into the sauce, and cook for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.#SandersonFarmsChicken #PutTraditionOnTheTable #MomsRecipe #MadeWithLove #ChickenFricassee #ChickenDinner #MyMomsRecipe #ThePerksOfBeingUs
