Chicken and Mushrooms with Garlic Roasted Broccoli

Winner winner; chicken, mushroom, garlicky broccoli dinner!

Okay yeah, I know I made that a little longer than it was originally intended but I think you’ll get over that once you try this one. IT IS just SO GOOD!

Take tender chicken cutlets lightly dredged in seasoned flour and sautéed until just golden, then smother them in a super simple mega mushroom made-in-the-same-pan sauce.

Yep, you remove the cutlets once they’re done and whip together a beautiful mushroom gravy with all the wonderful browned bits of goodness left in the pan, just like the pro that you are! Then you’ll sliiiide that chicken back into the hot tub and serve this sinfully saucy succulence with some crispy charred, garlic kissed roasted broccoli stalks.

You’ll be the MVP of the dinner crowd. As usual. 🤗

(This is a re-post from 2016….but I think it’s so stinkin’ good and quick and easy enough to throw together that it deserved some re-run love.)Slow cooker Swiss Chard and Sausage Stew

I know, I know. Not particularly Instagram ready, is she?

I can’t tell you how much I wish that there was something I could do to make this mess look pretty. To represent how really delicious it is…to draw you in so that you say… “Man, that looks good. I am going to make THAT tonight, and that is all”. To get you all fired up.

Because I gotta tell you, this is just so delish.

Beefy Ramen Zoodle Bowl

Asian Beef Zoodle Bowl

Take one rib eye steak. Add a boatload of shredded zucchini.

Mix it all up with some sweet and savory saucy-ness and you will end up with this beautific bowl of Asian inspired alchemy……..all the beefy stir-fry, slippery ramen goodness with not one carbie noodle in sight.

And no, it’s not what you’re most likely thinking; she’s just replacing the ramen with something green so she can feel like she’s playing up to all of those New Years Resolutionists out there… you’re not foolin’ anyone, lady! Give me the ramen noodles! You’re just trying to cover up THE LACK OF with a chopped GOURD!

To that I say, no way!

I don’t even DO resolutions. Ever. (Unless you consider the resolution of having no resolutions to be a resolution) Wait. Now I’m confused.

Roasted Green Chile Chicken Soup

This is a re-post from last year. It’s just THAT cold outside, I consider it a public service announcement : ).

Okay, sure, I like chicken soup well enough.

It’s sort of watery though, don’t you think? Kinda thin. Doesn’t seem to have much going for it, unless you like mealy overcooked chicken bits and a few soggy scraps of carrot. Maybe I just associate it with being sick and that’s clouding my judgement. Maybe I relied on too many cans of Campbell’s Chicken and Stars during my leaner years. Ug.

So do I LOVE chicken soup? . . . . meh, can’t say that I do;

Green thumb. Green light. Green room. Greenback. Greenhorn. Green with envy. Green around the gills. Greener pastures.

Lean Green fighting machine. Oh wait a second, did I get that one wrong? 😏

No matter, because that is exactly what you will be if you eat more, yeah, you know what’s coming here: GREENS.

SouP SOUp SOup, fabulous SOUP!

It may not feel like it, as the sizzling summer temperatures outside belie the fact that it is indeed officially FALL; but by gawd if the autumnal equinox didn’t do its astronomical thing a few days ago (September 22, to be precise) and here we are!

This of course means it’s time for all of those good things we humans were bred to view as snuggly and comforting……like flannel shirts, pumpkin spice lattes (have you SEEN the new fall cups at Starbucks? KA-Yoot!), the smell of a fireplace, crunchy autumn leaves and the boots you get to finally wear again to stomp ’em.
