• Sandy’s Chicken Piccata

    I am a BIG piccata fan.  I like Salmon Piccata, Chicken Piccata, or even just the Piccata sauce over noodles.  I just love it all.  I honestly don’t know if it is the capers, the lemon or both…but I love it. A Quick Dinner Option I know that dinner during the week can be quite the chore.  You get home from work, school or practice and everyone is starving and honestly your just wishing you went through the drive thru instead of having to get dinner made.  I feel your pain, I have been there plenty of times.   I have good news…this chicken piccata comes together super quick and…

  • a little caper to make dinner something special

    I am a BIG, BIG fan of capers.  There is just something so wonderful about these salty, briny little balls of goodness.  I use them in my chicken salad (check back soon for that recipe), I use them in place of olives in A LOT of recipes and I use them in dips and spread for appetizers.   As good as those all are my favorite way to use a caper is in a picatta.   Just like this one!

  • a memory remade for my love from veracruz

    Do you and your love go out to eat on Valentines Day or do you stay home and enjoy a quite night without all the crowds.  The Hubby and I have done both, and we both agree staying home is really nice.  You can fix exactly what you want (like this tilapia veracruz) and then you can watch your favorite romcom and call it a night…it is a win win for everyone. Now most Valentines Day that we stay home The Hubby will grill steaks and I will fix some sides that we both love, such as twice baked potatoes, creamed spinach and then something yummy for dessert…but this year…
