If you have basil at your disposal and you’re looking for a quick and easy dinner, this recipe is for you. It’s as simple as throwing together a simple marinade in a ziploc bag and letting the chicken marinate for a while while you make the basil dressing in the food processor. When you’re ready [...]
Our local farm stand is selling the BEST peaches right now. They’re really unbelievable. I got a little carried away the other day and bought many more than we could eat, so I searched for peach recipes and found two great ones – this one and pork chops with peach ginger salsa [...]
This is yet another recipe from that Giada cookbook I borrowed from the library. There are a couple more recipes I’d like to try, but it’s due pretty soon so I don’t know that I’ll get to them. This barbecue sauce is delicious. It reminds me quite a bit of my mom’s spare rib sauce [...]
What a quick, easy dinner these roulades were. And they were tasty too. We eat a lot of chicken, so they were a nice change from breaded chicken cutlets. If you use thin chicken breasts, they’re pretty easy to roll up. The thicker the cutlet, the tougher time you’ll have rolling them and getting them [...]

I love chicken cutlets, but I always wrestle with how to cook them. I ate them a lot growing up. My mom used to dip the chicken in egg, then breadcrumbs, then pan fry them. I LOVED when we had chicken cutlets for dinner. I’d dip [...]
I made this salad for a picnic recently and boy is it good. It’s another Ina Garten recipe. Have I mentioned that she’s one of my favorites? Other than being a little heavy-handed with the salt, her recipes are very straightforward and delicious.
The original recipe calls for raisins, but I can’t stand raisins, especially [...]
My cousin Danielle visited us this past weekend. She comes to NYC every month or so to take a course in Integrative Nutrition. The lectures sound fascinating. It’s all about health and wellness, so I decided to try to make something light and healthy for dinner, and this was it. It was incredible! I’ll definitely [...]
I love Indian food, but I don’t make it much because I find it intimidating. I was recently hosting a birthday dinner for a good friend of mine and he asked for Chicken Tikka Masala. I would have typically said no because most recipes that I found looked like they took forever to make, but [...]
