Chicken Scampi

Author Jonathan    Category Food     Tags

I do not know about you but I diet. Every Sunday I make a list of meals for the week, buy the ingredients, and then make the meals during the week (or trying to get as many meals … never saw the light of the world) that had this dish on my menu and one day was exactly what I wanted. I dreamed of the angel hair in the sauce pantry. I dreamed of heaping tablespoons of Parmesan cheese is poured over the long pasta, chewy. And boy, you have to offer. I have said to John: "That's exactly what I wanted!" 5 times in the 10 minutes needed to eat. It was delicious, butter, light (in flavor, not the middle section), and simply delicious. Best of all ingredients you always have. Everyone wins!

Lighter Lemon Cream Pasta

Author Jonathan    Category Food     Tags

Lemon is a refreshing taste, right? A small piece of lemon and a glass of water is suddenly a bad taste treat. Lemon is also great on chicken, desserts and pastries, even! I tried a lemon spaghetti recipe before that was a very popular and does not sell easily. It was a cream sauce, but it was so heavy and the lemon flavor was so intense. I vaguely remember like it and thought I was done with lemon pasta recipes. However, the lemons at the supermarket the other day looked so fresh and beautiful, I took a few and thought I would see what happened. Enter this sauce. Frankly, this sauce was amazing. It was much easier, as the main ingredient is chicken broth. A little cream to soften, but really I'd say you could even omit the cream altogether, if you have a moral obligation to have some cream. But … If you go the moral obligation of cream, I guess you do not read my blog. So we should all be good, right?

Lighter Mashed Potatoes

Author Jonathan    Category Food     Tags


Ah … Mashed potatoes … there is not much more American than comfort food is not it?
If I'm honest with you, and I'm always, I TRY not mash a little over a year earlier. I turned my nose into the mashed potatoes. He said it was a "texture" thing. Until one day I thought of mashed potatoes and what is good in them and I realized when the potatoes are good, and butter and milk is good, then mashed potatoes well. Well, they are safe. Especially when my mother made with two sticks of butter. Ohhhh baby lay in the butter …

But since I have a little health conscious when it comes to my food, I decided two sticks tend butter or were simply not going to work for a side dish. So clear, seasoned and ate em. Love. Love. Love. This recipe is not revolutionary, it is not true, but if you try a lighter version of the classic of this search. You can not go wrong.

Chicken with Mushroom & Balsamic Cream Sauce

Author Jonathan    Category Food     Tags

I have this meal about 2 months and I'm easy to overlook, the crazy blogs, because it was a big hit in our house! My sister came to dinner, but did not have a menu, so I dug through blogs and decided on this issue. You see, my sister obsessed with balsamic vinegar. And not in a normal manner. They use it as a sauce for pasta. The coffee, the better. Ew. I love balsamic vinegar, but not to the extent that my sister! This came together quickly (bonus) and was very good (double bonus!) Had a rich and spicy flavor. The three of us loved, and I think would be ideal for autumn days I am waiting very anxiously.

Double Fudge Brownies

Author Jonathan    Category Food     Tags

I can not brownies. I can not. I try but do not come from a box, I'm not going to make brownies. They are often rude, and if not raw, burned. Brownies are my enemy. I can not wait, I cut in the early, often before they are established. I can not deal with it!

For some reason, I decided to try to make Easter brownies again. My family was amazing, the desserts, but I had a dessert to contribute to a small dinner, I found this simple recipe. I was so skeptical. I really thought they would not work, but I made a day ahead and let stand covered overnight. I cut the next day, and Ta-Daaaa! Beautiful, fully cooked brownies. I have no good image of these bad boys (thanks to the 30 things I had to cook that day), but I will not post my not my first successful experience of Brownie. Everyone loved this, maybe brownies, and I go to the enemies and not much time …

" This pasta was fantastic, made the combination of pesto and tomatoes for a delicious dinner. Top with Parmesan cheese and was a great meal. Even if you do not love tomatoes (as John!)

Spinach and Chicken Tortilla Bake

Author Jonathan    Category Food     Tags

I’ve mentioned before that I am recently obsessed with Pinterest. I don’t use it for anything except recipes, but that keeps me busy enough. I stumbled upon this recipe a few weeks ago and knew I wanted to try it. For starters, it has salsa verde in it which has quickly climbed the ranks as one of our favorite ingredients. Then add to it that there’s lots of cheese… tortillas… and yeah, some veggies… you can’t go wrong. This was very easy to assemble and delicious- John and I both really loved it. Not to mention with Thanksgiving coming up you can easily use leftover turkey! Try it- most likely you have a lot of the ingredients on hand already.

Source: Slightly adapted from Stylish Cuisine, originally Rachel Ray

Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pound chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups salsa verde
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
4 large (8″) tortillas
3 cups baby spinach
1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
