Good Eats

It doesn't happen often and when it does happen it's rare, so I'm documenting a dinner that EVERYONE LIKED!

In the last 6 years(in October) since Casey's accident I've read a lot of books about health. I bought several new (healthy) cook books and have learned a lot, while trying to incorporate that learning into what I'm cooking/eating on a daily basis. Is it perfect??...never, but I try the best I can with what I've learned. The meals are always appreciated, but not always tasteful to everyone's liking. This week I've lucked out with the recipes I've used. Everyone has left the dinner table mostly happy and fulfilled.

This recipe was a favorite!

Also, when cooking chicken ahead for most recipes I always use my indoor grill. It cooks up and tastes so much better(in my opinion). One of my very favorite kitchen purchases I've made lately.
