Chicken with Cannellini Beans and Roasted Red Peppers with Apple Vinaigrette Salad

This recipe is super simple and a breeze to prepare, especially if one does a little (and I mean little) prep work ahead of time. The flavors some together in a light, but satisfying way. A perfect warm weather, or frankly anytime, meal.

Pork Chops with Apricot Sauce

A lovely, cold weather, comfort food dinner, served with cheddar cheese grits and tomatoes and mozzarella.

Pork Wellington

Chicken Saltimbocca

Everyone enjoys this simple meal. I like to serve it with thin spaghetti tossed with a lemon butter sauce and sliced tomatoes with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Steak Diane

A nice, simple and tasty dinner, but it helps to do some prep work to make things go smoothly when preparing this dish – combine stock and mustard, chop shallot, measure out lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce.

Steak Grillades with Cheese Noodles

This is a super easy and delicious recipe that comes together quick if ingredients are prepped and ready to go. I do not add a side dish because this already has a starch and vegetables in it.

Grilled Balsamic Marinated Grilled Chicken

Yum-O is how I describe this meal. I was looking for something different (but not TOO different) and this hit the nail on the head. I served it with a salad of baby lettuces, blueberries, raspberries and sugared almonds dressed with Olive Garden’s Italian dressing and “cheese toasts” (pita bread brushed with olive oil, sprinkled
