This is a fantastic dish, compliments of the Pax Christi church cookbook. (Thanks, Auntie Mary Ann!)
The pan-sauteed chicken is topped with a zesty fresh tomato sauce made with fresh basil and capers. Mashed potatoes and a spinach salad were excellent accompaniments.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons flour

Great “homemade” pizza

I’ve always shied away from attempting pizza at home, mainly because of the dough. Any time I’ve worked with the yeasty stuff, I end up screwing it up. And as you can tell from the photo, I didn’t exactly have much luck rolling my dough into a perfect circular pie. However, this pie turned out [...]

It’s Tuesday and dinner is my turn. And yes, I DID end up with Rachael, but I didn’t leap to her immediately.
My Mom had emailed to tell me she saw local Watershed chef Scott Peacock on TV with Martha Stewart making chicken and dumplings. She said it looked delicious and was planning to try it, [...]

We just got back from a fantastic trip to Chicago to see Devin’s brother graduate. I had never been to the Windy City before and was nearly overwhelmed (in a good way) by everything we got to see and do. We had unbelievable food, stayed in an amazing hotel, went on an INCREDIBLE architectural boat [...]

Once again it’s Wednesday and I have mustered up the energy to cook after a traffic-y commute home. I’m usually only SUPER-excited about cooking on the weekends, when there’s more leisure time than I know what to do with. But there are these occasional stray weeknights where I manage to pull something together even when [...]
Favorite summer salsa-salad

This is perhaps one of my all-time favorite recipes. The fresh sweet corn, cilantro, roma tomatoes and black beans are tossed in an unbelievably tasty and unique sauce of cinder vinegar, olive oil, garlic and onion, and a little fresh jalepeno. And the secret ingredient is one tablespoon of Red Chile Honey. The entire blend [...]
Tip: Toss tainted teflon

So one of my favorite Calphalon non-stick skillets finally succumbed to an occasional bout of stupidity. It was only a matter of time, I suppose. In the frenzy of preparing a meal for our writers’ group, I inadvertently used a metal spatula to flip my roasting chicken breasts, severely scraping the bottom of the pan [...]
