Pan seared chicken with couscous and tomatoes.

Potato Leek and Vegetable. Make the base stock from scratch. It makes all the difference.

Chicken Noodle. I ran out of noodles, so I just chopped up some lasagna noodles.

Easily enough sugar in the frosting to kill you.

Outdoor food. Grilled chicken on a mixed green salad with, apples, blueberry and a raspberry vinaigrette.

It is always a nice feeling to see the herbs coming in strong in the Spring, knowing that there will be plenty to cook with.

This dish will not kill you. It doesn’t have that much cream, maybe 3/4 of a cup. Start with shallots, deglaze with white whine, then add the cream. Cook it down a bit and add (fresh) pasta.
