You wanna make one of the easiest meals ever, pay next to nothing, and have your family sing your praise? Don't we all? Well look no further, I've got you covered.
Here's an easy recipe that you can toss in the oven after work, and sit down to eat it within the hour. I love that there's no marinate time, or trimming, stuffing, etc. Just drizzle a quick mixture over the top and bake in a preheated oven for about an hour.
Wait for applause.
Rochester, New York has several claims to fame, but one of my favorites is Chicken French. Thin cutlets are breaded in egg and flour and then bathed in a lemon, wine and butter sauce. The silky texture and intoxicating aroma are part of what make this an unmistakable Rochester comfort food!
Everyone in my home is headed back...back to work and back to school. That means back to a schedule too. Crockpot meals always help get me on track when trying to reclaim time (and my waistline)! This mouth watering make ahead meal has lots of flavor from long strips of bell peppers & onions, plus red wine, garlic and crushed tomatoes. There was more than enough for our large family AND some to freeze for another meal later in the month. This slow-cooked Chicken Cacciatore is delicious, healthy & easy. Dinner doesn't get much better than this!
Beef braciola is a special Italian meal I'll make only for certain occasions. It's labor intensive, requires several hours to cook and is a bit pricey, to boot. WHY would anyone ever bother, you ask?
It's. Just. That. Good.
I love to serve this handed-down family recipe for homemade sauce with my baked turkey meatballs...the fat from a traditional beef-based meatball is not missed! Baking them in the oven not only saves on the added calories, but it also saves on TIME!
Honest to goodness, this soup tastes just like the "Zuppa Toscana" from Olive Garden. It's not heavy or thick like a cream soup normally is since it's mostly broth based. The cream is added just before serving, giving it a silken texture. Big chunks of crumbled Italian sausage and diced white potatoes make this meal hearty enough to stand on its own but the kale adds a slightly crunchy texture.
