    Blackened Chicken Salad

    Happy Friday! Lots going on today!! First order of business…I finally got myself a Facebook Page for my blog, visit it here. Please drop me a line and say hello! I always love hearing from you all! Second order of business…today I decided to join a team that is going to the Susan G. Komen 3-day for the Cure walk.

It is in July and located in Boston, so if any of you want to donate please visit…

    Almond Crusted Chicken

    Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your start to your week. We have been having a slight glimpse into spring here in Connecticut, but it appears that it is going to change back to rather bitter cold by tomorrow :-(. As you all know I love snow and the cold, but there comes a time right around March that my body flips a switch and says “OK, I am done, ready for some warm weather and flip flops now!”. I really don’t think I could live in a place where the seasons don’t change, I think I would go through withdrawal. I enjoy having that switch of cold…

    Artichoke & Feta Stuffed Chicken

    What a depressing weekend for Steelers fans…I myself am a Steelers fan because I lived in PA for a while. I was closer to Philly, but I really didn’t like the Eagles…so I went with the other team. I went to college closer to Pittsburgh than Philly anyway. I was so disappointed, I really felt like Pittsburgh was the better team but because of interceptions and fumbles we just got killed. I think on everything else in the game the Steelers really outplayed the Packers. Especially on the run game…but Ben just threw those interceptions and every time he did the Packers monopolized and scored. That is super hard to…

    Sesame Chicken

    Another weekend has come and gone. It is amazing to me how quickly my weekends seem to pass the older I get. I was just having a conversation with my good friend Tamara about how I miss being younger and having life be a bit simpler. I miss the days when someone read a fairytale and then I was given a small carton of milk before my afternoon nap. Those were the days! I feel like anything I can do to make my life more simple is always a good thing. THAT is why I wanted to share this recipe with you. I was given a lot of cookbooks a…

    Chicken Scaloppine with Lemon Sugar Snap Peas and Asparagus

    Another week has started already! I don’t know about you, but this year is just flying by me. I can’t believe that it is September…I can’t believe that September is almost over!! I guess that phrase is right “time flies when you are having fun”. πŸ™‚ I have a feeling that this week is going to be a good one. I think work has been going better lately, which is a huge stress relief for me. I have been doing really well and just bringing in the big bucks for the company, haha! I don’t mean to beep my own horn but…BEEP! πŸ˜‰ It is hard to be younger and…

    Chicken Wraps with Pesto Aoili

    So, I left the blogging world there for a couple days…sorry my fellow bloggers! I am back…I just had such a rough week at work. Had one of those work weeks that makes you question what you do and why you work so hard. Was feeling kind of down on myself, but I am so glad it is Friday and that I get a few days off from work. Actually this weekend my parents are throwing a BBQ, which I am actually going to help my mom with ALL day tomorrow prepare for. So hopefully I will have lots of fun pictures for your viewing pleasure at the end of…

    Kabobs

    Love summer time! Summer time to me is so much fun, not just for the sun and vacations…but for the grill! I find that if I am ever in doubt as to what I should make for dinner…I head for the grill. You can make some of the best food on the grill….although I have to admit I have had some mishaps. Like, for example, the first time I tried to make pizza on the grill. Let’s just say the people at the grocery store saw me twice in one day, one hour apart. πŸ˜› Anyways, I wanted to make something on the grill and kabobs are always a good…
