I know, I know – it’s HEALTHY!  No cream, no butter.  I can’t believe it either.  BUT….this tastes so good if you don’t tell anyone, they won’t know it’s good for them.  I kept it a secret from all and even the kids raved about how much they liked them and that I would have to make these again.

I think I’ll keep the healthy part a secret a bit longer. more…

Moist, tender chicken breasts with a little bite to them. Unlike many of my dinner recipes this one uses only a little butter and cream (can’t go without) so it is reasonably healthy.

Next time I may grill the chicken briefly first to give it some lines and crunch on the outside.

Moist, tender beef bathed in a smooth, thick sauce with a wonderful taste, perfect for dipping bread into.   This was already a family favorite, but with this last variation it was declared perfect and DONE!  This recipe takes a bit of time to prepare, but it is so worth it.   Save some prep time by buying pre-cut veggies. more…

BAM!  Neighbor’s dog on your lawn again? BAM!  Boss cut your staff? BAM! BAM! BAM!  Okay, let’s not get carried away.  Seriously though, smashing the chicken to the right thickness is the only difficult part of this recipe. more…

I enjoyed this dish one night a local Italian place – they may be a franchise, I don’t know.  It was quite tasty and I decided to try and come up with my own version.  It’s not quite as good as theirs, but it was well received at the table, and not too hard to prepare.  As usual, I cheated and bought pre-cut veggies when possible.  Yes, I pay more for them – but my time is worth more to me than the extra I pay. more…
