Difficulty: Easy
I love fried chicken, who doesn’t right? But in efforts to be healthy we tried this alternative. Granted it is no KFC or your grandma’s true fried chicken but it is still moist, flavorful and has a nice crispy crust. As you can tell, we served this meal with mashed potatoes and veggies but [...]

I can’t tell you how long it has been since I had a chicken pot pie! The ones I remember from my childhood were the frozen supermarket brand. This dish requires planning and a bit of effort, but the results will beat the pants off the stodgy supermarket pot pie from days past. Don’t be [...]

Difficulty: Moderate

Fresh pineapple really makes a difference in this recipe. Half of one large pineapple will yield about 2 cups of chunks. But if the pineapple that is available isn’t ripe, or you are in a rush, then look for already cut-up fresh pineapple in the produce section of your market. Turn to canned [...]

Roasted Veggie Chicken Pizza

Difficulty: Easy
A different take on the traditional. Fresh roasted veggies, chicken and creamy cheeses make up this fast meal. The ingredients are prepared separately and then placed on the pizza crust at the end. Because we don’t like using the oven in the summer, we used the grill to cook the pizza crust and I [...]
