This chicken recipe is absolutely delicious! Like I have said before in my blogs, my husband can be a harsh critic when it comes to food and he gives this a double thumbs up. He doesn't even eat leftovers and he wanted to have it again the next night! I like this recipe because it is made with extra virgin olive oil and just a small amount of butter. Also, you can adjust the flour quantity and it shouldn't make much difference in the flavor. I didn't have the angel hair pasta

Check out this video if you want a little help with that! I've always loved the traditional Caprese Salad with tomatoes, but when it's peach season you have to take advantage of thi

Quinoa is truly a super food! In addition to all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, quinoa is a great source of protein and the fiber content is double that of most grains. Have you ever noticed that quinoa comes in different colors? The taste and nutrition are similar but the white version is typically fluffier after it's cooked. The red and black quinoa have a crunchier texture. I used the red version for this recipe, but any will do! Enjoy! This side dish is amazing

Not only does this good fat help prevent dementia, but it helps with brain fog. Now that's what I'm talkin' about, bring on the clarity! But in all seriousness, fatigue, memory issues, mood swings a

I do think my kids have become adventurous eaters because they have been exposed to everything, so I strongly recommend that they at least try different things. Please don't make chicken nuggets and fries every night while the rest of yo
