It may not be summer time just yet, but I think we could all use some sunshine and warmth right now in our lives. So, I thought I would go ahead and make these Skinny Summer Strawberry Scones and update the photography in the process.
I've made scones a handful of times in the past few years, and while it took a few attempts at first I’ve gotten the process of making these scones down well enough. The recipe is surprisingly similar to that for Irish Soda Bread…
Read MoreLet’s face it. Italian food is probably one of everyones favorites. And chicken piccata is one of the staples of Italian food. The tartness of lemon with the salt of capers all come together with crisped cooked chicken breast that’s perfect to be served over a bed of pasta or even all on it’s own. Either way, it’s the star of the show!
This chicken piccata is made without any cream. That’s right. The cream in chicken piccata is completely unneeded. You can come out of it with less calories while still having a delicious creamy sauce for your chicken…
Read MoreBack when I first got my original bread machine, one of my favorite things to make with it was homemade breadsticks. They always turned out pretty damn great. Light, fluffy, and delicious. Way better than the pre-made dough you can get at the store in a can. Then again, almost anything homemade is better than pre-packaged.
These Whole Wheat Bread Machine Breadsticks are super simple to make and takes very little in the way of ‘hands on’ time. The bread machine does the lot of the work. All you have to do is roll the dough out and bake. Easy enough though, right?…
Read MoreSo obviously, I’m not an Italian lady. My roots are a lot Irish and … well, as many others out there, a plethora of other things. That being said, my love of food stems very much so from my fond memories of sitting on my great-grandma’s kitchen counter and watching her cook for hours on end.
Lengthy cooking times tend to be a thing of the past these days, especially with our fancy gadgets like crock pots and pressure cookers. Trust me, I’m a HUGE fan of the quick and easy recipes, but I’m here to warn you that THIS recipe is not quick by any means. This Old Fashioned Spaghetti Sauce takes it’s time with cooking for a whole TWO HOURS. And I promise, it’s worth every minute of that cook time…
Read MoreI love Italian food. I mean… who doesn’t? One of my favorite Italian dishes is chicken parmesan. But, with things being so chaotic around the house right now, I thought it would be best if I could find a way to enjoy chicken parmesan as quickly and easily as possible. Chicken Parmesan Dip it is!
This Chicken Parmesan Dip has all the pieces and parts of a chicken parmesan, but is put together in the form of a perfectly dipable dish! Cooked chicken, marinara, ricotta, mozzarella… and of course, parmesan! After all, you can’t have chicken parmesan without the parmesan…
Read MoreThanksgiving is in just a few days and when the Holidays are rolling in, I like to be sure that I have breakfast taken care of. Strata is a great way to use up what you have on hand. They’re pretty flexible and can be made ahead of time to have a breakfast (or brunch) ready to go for a whole crowd of people. Mhm, that’s right. This breakfast makes a whopping 12 servings!
This Sausage, Apple & Baby Kale Whole Wheat Strata is a real winner, and if you haven’t had a strata before, you definitely should! It’s sort of a cross between a savory bread pudding and a quiche…
