Chicken Saltimbocca

I was searching the Cook’s Illustrated website for dinner ideas, and I came upon this. I remembered seeing it a while ago and thinking that it sounded good, so I decided to give it a try. I was sure glad I did! I liked the combination of the ham and prosciutto. [...]

Chicken Cacciatore

This dish used to be in our regular rotation but we haven’t made it in a while.  The recipe is originally from Emeril, but as I have prepared and eaten it, it has been adjusted to my personal tastes.  Last week I decided that I wanted to make it again and since this month’s Weekend [...]

This is a popular dish with David and me. We are both huge fans of any kind of Italian food, and we eat pasta pretty often. These stuffed shells are pretty easy to put together and it’s so good! I got the recipe from Amber’s Delectable Delights, but I did make a [...]

My First Whole Roasted Chicken!

Chicken is a popular dish on our dinner menu. There are so many ways you can make chicken, and I love it’s versatility. Most of the time we have some version of the chicken breast. We often have it baked, sauteed, fried, in in some type of sauce. I have always [...]
