Lightened Up Chicken Marsala

September 18, 2013 By Erin Kennedy 1 Comment

Chicken Marsala 1
As an Italian girl, I make a lot of different chicken dishes. Chicken Parm and Chicken piccata are always in our rotation of dinners. Chicken marsala is one of those recipes that I have always loved to order, but I never have made it at home.

This recipe is easy to make and the Marsala wine sauce is so flavorful. My husband and I really liked it and agreed we needed to make it again soon! Next time I make it, I might make a little extra of the sauce as I wanted more to drizzle over some of the pasta I made with it. If you are watching your carbs, some steamed veggies would also go perfectly with the chicken!

Happy National Guacamole Day! 12 Unique Recipes

September 16, 2013 By Erin Kennedy Leave a Comment

Today is National Guacamole Day!
I could eat guacamole or an avocado everyday. I love to eat it with a spoon and just some salt.  Or I will even just add some hot sauce and eat it with a spoon.  It is a healthy fat so it is a fab snack! And, I am getting my vitamins. I should research to see if eating avocado helps with anti-aging. Any excuse to eat this fruit works for me! So since it is the national day, it is only polite to give it some needed attention. Especially since summer is ending and they will not be in such abundance, or they will be super expensive.
Here are 12 super tasty looking and yet unique recipes that you may want to try. I had never heard of some of them, so I think I will try most of them, not sure if I would make the guacamole ice cream, but I would try it.

Mango Guacamole
Edamame Guacamole

Cheesy Garlic Twists

September 11, 2013 By Erin Kennedy Leave a Comment

cheesy-garlic-twists

 

The kids and I love garlic bread in basically any form. Sometimes we buy the store-made garlic bread and give each slice a few seconds in the microwave. Sometimes we brush a leftover hot dog bun with butter and garlic salt and broil it for a couple minutes. And sometimes, we make these garlic twists.

I have yet to convince my husband about the wonders of garlic. It’s a family thing… his entire family is garlic averse. They never eat garlic bread and don’t even use garlic in the lasagna.

But me? I’ll put garlic on just about anything. I remember this one time when my son was a newborn and I was nursing, we went to a pizza place that was new to us, and I ordered a pizza that was basically just garlic cloves and caramelized onions. I thoroughly enjoyed it. About halfway through the meal, it occurred to me that my nursing child might not appreciate that too much.

He didn’t, by the way. He cried every time he nursed for the next two days, and the garlic was so strong I could smell it on him for days.

Oh… but that was a good pizza! And it didn’t stop him from growing up to love garlic bread, so nothing lost.

I should tell you upfront that I have never been one to make homemade bread. It’s so time consuming… and kneading for 10 minutes straight? I don’t think so. Laziness reigns here.
