Chicken Scarpariello

One day, I didn't know what to cook. I had chicken, so I searched for something yummy and found this recipe. I have made it several times since then. It's really easy and I usually have all ingredients on hand.

To get started chop up your shallots and garlic:
Flour the cut up chicken breasts…
…and saute in some butter, or vegetable oil to keep in dairy-free:
Make sure it's browning nicely…yumm!
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pan and saute the shallots and garlic:
Add the liquids…
…and once it has reduced and thickened add the chicken back to the pan and heat through:

Serve over egg noodles or whatever you have on hand:

Cobb Salad Pizza

When I came across this recipe I just had to try it. Pizza and Salad in one?!?

So, here you have the veggies:
And there is the rest:
Make the dressing:
Chop the veggies:

Make the pizza dough:

And now it's time for the bacon!!!!


Mix it with the dressing:
Saute the chicken:
Chop it up and mix it with the bacon, dressing, tomatoes and onions:
Add the salad:
Top the pizza with it and the avocado and cheese:
I left the cheese off the crust so that Wonderboy with his allergy could eat it too.
While I liked the concept t wasn't very practical to eat. The salad fell of the crust when we tried to eat it so we ended up eating the salad and taking bites of the crust, but overall a good recipe.

Grilled Miso-Marinated Filet Mignon

I love it, when I find recipes that are dairy-free and easy. Cooking Light is one of my favorite sources for these.
This recipe is perfect for the summer months, because it combines grilling and adds a tasty light salad. What else could you want?

So, I start of with the salad and get all my pantry items together:
Then come the veggies. Snap peas….
…orange bell pepper….
…and spring onion:
Before i go any further though, I start on the marinate for the steaks:
Yummylicious:
OK, back to the Salad. Cook the rice noodles and add the snap peas at the end:
Drain and transfer to a bowl:
Add the orange bell pepper and spring onion:
Dress it all and set aside so those steaks can get grilled:)

Not much to do here, other than watching it get better and better:
And once you bring it all together it almost looks too beatifull to eat…almost.

Crispy Turkey Cutlets with chopped Arugula and Tomato Salad


I just can't get away from this woman:) But that is just because her cookbook has changed the way I think about feeding my family, especially my son. Using her recipes shows me that we don't have to live without. Because her recipes aren't listed anywhere online, as far as I can tell, I won't list them either. That doesn't keep me from showing you the yummy goodness she makes me cook though, so enjoy!

I start out making the dressing, which is Cybele's favorite and mine too.



For the salad I chop the red onion and tomatoes…
…and mix them with the dressing and set it aside:

Then it's time to make the breading:


I use soy milk, because we can eat/drink it:

Here come the cutlets!
Another substitution. Since we don't have wheat allergies, I stick to plain flour:
Shake it baby!
And the cutlets are ready for the oven:
While the cutlets bake, I finish the salad:
And serve it all with some rice:

This is one of my favorites and I have made it for guest already. I just love it and could eat it right now, if I only had any…..
