Florentine Chicken Stew made with boneless chicken breasts, celery, carrots and onions, spinach, white wine, chicken broth, Dijon mustard and cannellini beans. I love when the weather starts to get cooler so I can make comfort foods for dinner like this Florentine Chicken Stew. It's so simple to prepare, as is most one pot meals, and such a time saver on those busy nights when you're running in three different directions.

Chicken Balsamico
Chicken Balsamico made with bone-in chicken thighs cooked in a balsamic white wine sauce with fresh chopped rosemary. I think I found my new favorite recipe and it's called Chicken Balsamico. I had purchased some chicken thighs in preparation of making something with them while my Mom was visiting last month, but never really got around to it. The kitchen still wasn't done through most of her stay and we were just too busy with other things to really make dinner home much. Truth be told, I ... Read More about Chicken Balsamico
Caprese Salad
Nothing tastes more refreshing than this Caprese Salad made with fresh Ciliegine mozzarella combined with garden tomatoes and basil. I've made a similar salad before, but this Caprese Salad was a little different because I used Ciliegine or "cherry sized" fresh mozzarella, as well as my fresh Jersey garden tomatoes. I only planted one Roma tomato bush this year and it didn't take well. I have to admit, I'm not much of a gardener. However, my in-laws planted some as well and were able ...

Clemen-Thyme Baked Chicken Cutlets
Boneless chicken cutlets dipped in a mixture of egg, clementine juice, and milk; then coated with thyme seasoned panko breadcrumbs. So tell me honestly, what do you think of the name of this recipe? I didn't want to make it too long so Rachael named this Clemen-Thyme Chicken Cutlets one for me. I thought it was kind of clever myself, though she did inherit my warped sense of humor. Poor kid! Anyway, the night I made these for dinner, I still didn't have a working stovetop. ... Read More about Clemen-Thyme Baked Chicken Cutlets
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins are the perfect flavor combination. You can eat them for breakfast or an afternoon snack! Did you ever have one of those days (who are we kidding...weeks, months, years!) where you just can't handle the stress of other people putting demands on you and your personal time so you bake...I like to call it "stress baking". Well it's been a little stressful around here since I've come back from vacation. You see, I'm the ultimate planner, list ... Read More about Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
White Chocolate Covered Brownie Bites
Triple chocolate prepared brownies coated with sweet white chocolate is an easy, decadent, chocolatey snack. Well, what do you do when you set out to make brownies and then they don't release from your pan? This is what happened to me a couple of months ago. We were having company for dinner on a Sunday and the kids wanted to make a last minute dessert. I usually have a box of brownie mix in the house just in case we need a chocolate fix so I decided to make those. Instead of making ... Read More about White Chocolate Covered Brownie Bites
