Citrus and Vodka Chicken over Fettuccine
April 8, 2012 | No Comments »
I found this recipe on a grocery add for the Mollie Stones super market. The recipe was just for the sauce. I decided to try it over fettuccine with grilled chicken. It was very good, the vodka and orange jiuce are a nice combo together. I guess we can also call it “Screw Driver Chicken”. If you like more sauce don’t let it cook down to 1/3 cup, you have to kind of play around with what suits you Read the rest of this entry »

This was a very light and fresh salad. Not only delicious, but also full of so much nutrition. I was a little unsure because the kale and brussels sprouts are not cooked. However once dressed with the olive oil lemon juice mixture, pecorino cheese, and toasted alomonds it was perfect!
There are a few different types of Kale, Read the rest of this entry »
