Chicken Pesto Pasta

Basil. If there’s one thing I think is worth planting in your garden, a mulch bed or a pot, basil is it. I use it on pizzas, pasta dishes, in marinades, but most importantly in PESTO. In fact, my husband calls pesto my other lover. For those who have the …

Chicken Piccata {Freezer Meal}

Chicken Piccata might very well be my absolute favorite way to eat chicken. It is simple French cuisine at it’s best. Lemons provide a vibrant citrus base for the sauce, giving this dish a light, bright feel. The butter–oh the butter!–lends a velvety richness to the sauce that perfectly …
