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. I served this with mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus tossed with melted butter and lemon juice.

Pork Milanese with Creamy Caper Sauce

Chicken Milanese is one of my favorite meals (though I rarely make it) and I thought the dish might be just as tasty using pork. It is! That, with the addition of a creamy but light tasting sauce, served with a simple green salad tossed with balsamic vinaigrette, and rice pilaf (from a box) makes
