    Effortless Chicken Thighs in a Creamy Sauce

    January 16, 2017

    Chicken thighs are more flavorful than the breast cut and covering the thighs with a creamy sauce makes them more delightful. However, after making this incredible creamy sauce and nestling chicken thighs in the sauce,  I have started to change my tune. This dish is very good for a weeknight easy meal. I served it with simple yellow rice, mixed with some banana peppers that I froze back in the spring. After thawing the peppers, between two paper towels, I chopped them up and put them in the rice, at the same time I placed the rice on simmer.

    Grilled Steak Tips and Potatoes on Kebabs

    July 25, 2016

    Kebabs are an easy way to control portions and eat healthy because you will cook them on the grill. Something simple and expensive like steak tips and potatoes can become a luxurious meal.   Usually, the trick is making simplicity taste like it was complicated.  This America’s Test Kitchen recipe for the sour cream-chive sauce is fresh and taste like summer.  This recipe calls for the meat TO MARINATE FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS OR UP TO 24 HOURS.  My recommendation is to prep the meat, placing it in the marinade before you start your workday.  After the 8-9 hour workday, the meat will be perfect.    Tricks I learned while…

    Easy pasta dinner with a few ingredients… My favorite go to meal when I have no idea what to make for dinner is PASTA.  It is so easy to prepare and you only need a few ingredients to boost it up to an entree.  Served with a slice of bread, this is a meal that was a crunch time touchdown that only took about 30 minutes from start to finish. Ingredients needed: 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil 1 cup of chopped onion 6 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes – do not drain them 1 1/2 cups chicken stock – I use Swanson, unsalted…
