Even though it was a sunny day in San Diego, I was in the mood for soup. I decided to buy a rotisserie chicken from the deli at our local grocery store and a bag of mini tortellini and make a chicken soup. I heated a few tablespoons of olive oil in my Dutch oven…

Lemon Dijon Chicken Thighs
Last night I made dinner for a dear friend and her family. My friend had surgery on Monday and spent the night in the hospital, arriving home on Tuesday. I wanted to help her out by bringing a meal to them for Wednesday evening. Elizabeth is a wonderful friend who I met when our kids…
Food for the Super Bowl … And Beyond
As everyone knows, yesterday was the Super Bowl. I, personally, loved the half-time show and thought Lady Gaga did a fabulous job. It brought me back to when I saw her in concert six years ago. She was quite the entertainer and still is. Yesterday’s menu consisted of many things … chicken sausages cooked in white…
Dry Martini Chicken
Picture a dinner party, with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Tony Bennet music in the background and a martini in hand. This is the vision I had when I came up with last night’s dinner idea. I bought thin chicken breasts for dinner last night and decided to marinate them in a dry martini, so…
Two Hour Chicken Bake
I was browsing the internet the other day and a recipe popped up for a “no peek chicken” that bakes for two and a half hours. It reminded me of a chicken dish that my mom used to make when I was growing up. This made me nostalgic to have this meal again, so decided to…
Chicken Tortilla Soup

Chicken Drumsticks in a Honey Hoisin Sauce
It feels like a lifetime since I’ve made a recipe and blogged about it. Last week was super busy – I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving! It couldn’t have been better. I actually made some things that I wanted to blog about, but I was having so much fun with my aunt and uncle and…
Cherry Balsamic Rosemary Chicken Thighs
Was it the pepper mixed with the cherry balsamic dressing that smelled so good? Or was it the fresh rosemary added to the mix that made the smells really came to life? I think both. I started out sprinkling kosher salt and fresh ground pepper on my boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Next I added one…
Chicken Marsala
Last night I made something I’ve never made before, Chicken Marsala. I don’t know what I was waiting for, it wasn’t difficult at all. It was quite simple, in fact. Dennis said this is one of his new favorite chicken dishes. He loved it. I did too. I loved the way this dish smelled while…
Jalapeño Peach Chicken Breasts
I’m lucky enough to have so many wonderful friends. They are so important to me and I treasure them all dearly. My sweet friend, Ethel, is one of the kindest women you will ever meet. She has a big heart, full of gold. Ethel would do anything for any one of her friends. She’s fabulous. Ethel…
