Chicken Parmesan

My husband is a Chicken Parmesan fanatic, it is his favourite meal and always his request when I ask him what he would like for his birthday dinner. A few years ago I was watching the Food Network and saw an episode where Tyler Florence made Chicken Parmesan, and that was it, I wanted that recipe!

In our home, come Friday we are all getting a bit tired of the work-week and looking forward to the week-end. We always try to have Friday evening dinners be a bit more relaxed and we all usually pitch in to help. We'll barbecue burgers, have tacos or quite often make home made pizza; we like something laid back but yummy, a celebration of a busy weeks completion and the anticipation of the week-end ahead. As yummy as those food items are, I find we're sometimes stuck in the rut of always … [Read more...]

Well, this year we turned our kitchen into "Pickle Central" and made dill, sweet Bread and Butter and this delicious, all time favourite of ours and many other Maritimers, Lady Ashburnham. Our favourite way to eat these is with a creamy mound of mashed potatoes, but they have an almost relish like consistency so they would also be … [Read more...]
