Quick and delicious weeknight meals
Here is a delicious vegetarian dinner. I promise — you won’t miss the meat! I never had pesto made with peas before, but the parsley – pea – walnut combination was terrific. A little sweetness from the peas, some nuttiness from the parmesan and walnuts, …
We had this delicious chicken dish last night. The recipe packs a ton of flavor into the chicken from the lemon, olives, shallots, and sage! Plus, the chicken, which was browned on the stove and finished in the oven, was perfectly cooked — not dried …
