I'm a southern gal with a passion for cooking and baking from scratch, the old fashioned way!
During the summer here in Georgia, there are days that are so swelteringly hot that you are loathe to turn on any heat-generating appliance in the house. Today was one of those days.
So what do you do for dinner on a day like this? Make a nice, hearty, cold salad like this one!!
I have to admit to you, dear readers, that there was a time when I was intimidated by the task of baking chicken. It seems so simple – put it in the oven until it’s done, right?
But how do you know when your chicken is cooked through? Until the inside isn’t pink? Until the juices run clear?
But was the inside pink to begin with? And did the juices ever NOT run clear?
I just couldn’t figure it out. I either ended up with chicken that I was too scared to eat, or chicken that was too tough to eat!
Here is an amazingly flavorful chicken recipe from my friend Ashley. We loved the freshness of the basil with the sweet sun dried tomato and the tang of the creamy goat cheese. This is the perfect upscale weeknight dinner!
A healthy dinner for a spring weeknight with fresh herbs from the garden. The marinade makes this chicken extra tender. The blend of fresh herbs makes it irresistible!
This meal was the unplanned love-child of a rushed trip to the grocery store and a night of cleaning out the fridge. When I asked the hubs what we should call it, he said something like “Good Garden Pasta Surprise.” I said, “Um, no.”
