Chinese water torture

I have to apologize to my readers ( I’m sure its only one now). I have enrolled in a class that is a monster, but it will assist me in serving my readers better. It is a feature article writing class, and it is one of the hardest and most demanding class I’ve ever encountered. [...]

Broccoli, Tomato and Feta frittata

What a way to bring in Sunday morning than with a piping hot frittata from the oven. Simply put, a frittata is an omelet baked in the oven. The best part is this: the batter is a master recipe; once you become accustomed to preparing omelet this way, you can put anything in it [...]

Easy Chicken Marsala

What does one do when one wants a taste of Italy, but cannot afford the airfare? You make Chicken Marsala! This is a super easy version of the classic recipe using golden mushroom soup ( you food snobs out there: try it yourself and find out). Marsala is a fortified wine that is similar to [...]

Chicken and Brown rice meatballs

I made these a couple of days ago when my new roommate moved in ( that’s where I’ve been!). I wanted to make a meatball that was light ( wait a minute; it has brown rice in it. How can it be light?), and can hold up in a sauce. Well, I made these and [...]
