Easy Baked Italian Chicken

When I’m looking for a really easy dinner that’s still healthy and tasty, I turn to this recipe.  Honestly, I feel kind of fraudulent calling it a recipe because it’s so easy.  I usually have all of the ingredients on hand, and you don’t even have to thaw out the chicken!  You literally take a […]

Cornish Game Hens with Roasted Garlic Sauce

Last week, I posted my recipe for Quinoa Casserole with Broccoli and Asparagus and told you I made it with Cornish game hens.  I’m sure you’ve been waiting on pins and needles by your computer for the game hen recipe, but alas, the wait is over!  Okay, okay… I know it’s more likely you’re thinking, “Cornish […]

These were pretty easy to make.  Just your basic chocolate covered strawberry to start with.  I like to use good quality semi-sweet […]

Last weekend, I asked Tim what he thought we should cook for dinner Sunday night, and he chose cornish game hens.  When I was trying to think of what to cook with them, I remembered some quinoa I bought a while back and hadn’t done anything with.  I figured I could incorporate a vegetable somehow […]
