Best Chicken Picatta
First made this on March 25, 2014. Husband said its THE best Chicken Picatta he’s ever had / I’ve ever made. I couldn’t find, in a pinch, the Chicken Picatta recipes I’ve used before, so grabbed whatever I could find quickly online that looked decent, and this was it. I left out the wine and substituted additional chicken broth (since we’d rather DRINK the wine!); wasn’t sure how well that would work, but we honestly could not tell it was missing anything – it turned out incredible. I substituted coconut oil for the butter and olive oil (since we’re health conscious!). Also used coconut flour instead of regular flour (‘cuz…

Balsamic Glazed Basil Turkey Meatloaf
Awesome!!! Flavored with balsamic vinegar, garlic and fresh basil ~This is my FAVORITE balsamic glazed turkey meatloaf recipe. I love this one because it is so figure-friendly. The glaze is simple and delicious. It omits the ketchup which is so common for meatloaf glazes (including my other balsamic turkey meatloaf recipe). That gives it a milder flavor that compliments the meat nicely without being overpowering. This is important because the turkey loaf in this recipe really has a wonderful flavor and you don’t want to overpower it with the glaze. Also important, by not including ketchup you do away with unnecessary calories, not to mention additives which are not helpful…

Marinated Beet Salad
Photo Credit I never much cared for beets, but when I tried my mother-in-law’s beet salad just to be polite, I discovered a new favorite! It was always a staple at her Easter brunches. But its also so nice on a summer’s day… The recipe immediately below is Mrs. P’s (my mother in law) but I will admit it never really tasted like hers when I made it so I am a little suspicious as to whether she gave me the real deal! Further below I have included a Russian beet salad recipe that I just found in Dec 2018 which looks like it could be closer (Mrs.P was Polish),…
