Chicken Pot Pie

Unfortunately, Winter has arrived here in New England, BUT is there a silver lining???? OF COURSE THERE IS!

Last-Minute Pineapple Chicken

If you didn't catch it yesterday on IG, this was my last-minute, "oh dear, we don't have much food in the house", dinner. I have become really good at making something out of nothing in the kitchen, and last night was certainly one of those cases. There was chicken breast in the fridge, and a…

Need a Summer Read? This is it!
