A few weeks ago my dear friends the Giovagnoni’s were on my blog cooking up some irresistible oven roasted Brussels sprouts. But that’s not all I had when I visited them in Colorado – they also made Chicken Piccata. This chicken piccata recipe is such a simple and satisfying weeknight meal, I suggest you make this […]

If you love the sweet potato casserole that makes its appearance on Thanksgiving and is topped with bubbling marshmallows and an almost equal sugar to sweet potato ratio, then you may be surprised at the sweet potato’s versatility.

Everyone loves candy. Everyone loves meat. Therefore, everyone loves meat candy. Okay, you’re right, none of those statements are true, but if they are true of YOU then you’re going to love this recipe!
