When tomatoes begin to be harvested where I live in the northwest US, (now) I can’t get enough of them!! So I always invent new ways to enjoy them. This time it starts with my favorite combo of tomatoes and red onion, dressed simply with olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh basil and topped […]
This is a salad I learned how to make while working at a friend’s cafe in New Milford, CT called the Green Granary. It’s an inviting, cheery space where literally everything is good and organic. This curry chicken salad became a favorite of my son so I made it often over the years even though […]
I love having cooked chicken in my fridge because then I can make so much from it. Sometimes I make a batch of breaded chicken cutlets but this time I dressed the cutlets with lots of herbs de Provence and let them cook in chicken lemon broth. First I simply browned them in a bit […]
Even after years of experience I’m always surprised at how often the simplest dishes are the best. These chicken cutlets are a perfect example of this. Delicious in their unadorned state; made special when they’re topped with a simple sauté of spiralized zucchini and a wonderfully flavorful and versatile white wine sauce that is indispensable […]
I’ve been loving playing with Thai dishes…especially stir fries. I suppose it’s because I’m so used to saute that a stir fry is a natural for me because it’s really the same thing…food cut into similar size pieces and cooked in a small amount of oil, usually over high heat, and which the pan […]
These gluten free chicken pot pies came out so good that even my gluten loving daughter ate it up. The filling was flavorful, loaded with chicken and veggies (not like the ones you buy pre made at the store) but more impressive was the crust – light and flaky! Of course you can also […]
I love this Thai variation on the classic chicken noodle soup. It’s flavorful, spicy, easy and quick to prepare and gluten-free. I’d say it’s a 10 when it comes to rating a recipe that has it all! When I first made this Thai chicken noodle soup for my son and his wife, who recently […]
I’m in love with squash. There are so many varieties to choose from that I don’t think I’d get bored until summer rolls around again and I take a break until the first of the summer squash appear. Each variety is delicious, nutritious and filling. So if I stuff them with good stuff…I’m literally […]
Make your labor day party an unforgettable event with these show stopping dishes…starting with this Chili Limi Chicken Fajita salad from Cafe Delites Next there this amazing Tex-mex chicken burger with a chipotle mayo sauce from A Dish of Daily Life. And the perfect accompaniment to any BBQ, these…jalapeno grilled sweet corn muffins […]
This is an intensely flavorful meal you can make in one skillet. Once the red peppers are roasted and pureed they’re added to the pan with the chicken breast, along with a bit of cream and chicken broth and left to gently cook on the stovetop. Serve it with mashed potatoes, pasta, quinoa or rice. […]
