Quick Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes & Peppers December 7, 2009

Filed under: Main Dishes and Soups — Gina @ 1:42 pm

It always seems like such a challenge to find dinners that are fast, healthy and delicious. It seems like you can always get two of the three (simple and quick but not healthy or healthy and quick but not tasty, et). But here’s one we stumbled on. My sweet husband came up with this recipe one night when I was away.  When he went to make it for me last week, I was dubious but now I love it.

Ingredients:

  • 3 fresh or frozen chicken breasts
  • 1 cup broth (water ok too but add a little salt)

Celery Root and Apple Soup

Filed under: Main Dishes and Soups — Gina @ 1:29 pm

The past two week’s I’ve received celery root in my Beachgreen’s produce delivery and I must admit, it didn’t make me excited. But my lack of enthusiasm is due to my lack of experience with this tasty little vegetable.  What made me change my mind? This recipe which came from Aliye, owner and chef extraordinaire, at Beachgreens. I tried it yesterday and it is so darn good (Warning: if you are a celery-hater, this isn’t one for you). It’s fast and easy and perfect for a rainy day like today.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 stick butter (I used 2 TB plus 1 TB olive oil)
