This is one of my favorite recipes, just for the sheer joy of the flavor. It’s also my go-to recipe for when I have a lot of fresh basil I need to use up, and I’m not in the mood for pesto. The flavors in the chicken meld so wonderfully, you could almost do without…

Mystery Farro Salad
This photo has been bugging me. I know I made this a couple of months ago, and that we liked it, but I didn’t write anything down. “I’ll remember,” I thought. Sure. This is the reason I started this blog in the first place: I come up with something yummy, & then later can’t remember…
Vanilla Balsamic Chicken
This is a marvelously flavorful dish. The vanilla adds to the depth and breadth of the flavor, but doesn’t dominate & isn’t sweet. You’ll find a printer-friendly version at the bottom of this page. Ingredients: ½ cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth ½ cup balsamic vinegar ¼ cup finely chopped shallots ¼ cup packed brown sugar…
Fiesta Slaw
I love this stuff! If you have a mandoline that will handle julienning bell peppers (mine doesn’t), it won’t even take you long to make. It makes a decent lunch the next day, if you actually have any left over. We never do! You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe at the bottom of this…
Peppermint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
I love the NYT Master Ice Cream Recipe. It’s awesome. Not at all good for you, but incredibly delicious. I discovered, though, that I don’t care much for spearmint ice cream. Maybe I’ll try it again sometime when I know what I’m getting into (especially now that I have all that spearmint growing by the porch)….
Lemony Sheet Pan Chicken with Potatoes, Asparagus, & Herbs
Just look at that basil! I grew that indoors in my Aerogarden. Just as tasty as it looks! If you don’t have the lemon-fused olive oil, you can substitute plain. Of course, you can also substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand. Yellow beets, carrots, cauliflower, & small Brussels sprouts are all good choices. I made a double…
Sheet Pan Chicken Tikka
I’m in love with sheet pan suppers. It’s such a great concept – throw a bunch of stuff on a foil-lined sheet pan, pop it in the oven, wait a bit, & your whole dinner is ready! After dinner, toss the foil & you don’t even have to wash the pan! This is the recipe…
Chicken Biryani
I made this a couple of weeks ago, with a simple side of grape tomatoes. It’s pretty easy and very flavorful. It’s got a little zip but isn’t really spicy. Of course, that depends partly on your jalapeño. Leave some of the membranes in for more heat if you like. You’ll find a printer-friendly version…
