I recently made this chicken Piccata and it was a hit with my family(it does not take much to make chicken cutlets a great meal)…Of course I did not follow the directions to the ‘T’. I eliminated the Lima beans ( not a favorite) So if you don’t like artichokes you can easily skip it also…the thing that makes this chicken tasty is the lemon…I liked this recipe so much I have already cooked it to death…
Place chicken in zip-top bags and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until 1/4-inch thick. Remove chicken from bag and season all over with salt and black pepper. In a shallow dish (or plastic bag), combine flour, lemon zest, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well. Add chicken and turn to coat. Remove chicken from flour mixture and shake off excess flour.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Add lemon juice, wine and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens. Add artichoke hearts and capers and simmer 1 minute to heat through.
Cook rice according to package directions, adding lima beans at the beginning of cooking process. Serve chicken and sauce with rice.
If you have been looking for a book for your grandkids, have I got a book for you. A Perfect Pet for Peyton by Rick Osborne and Gary Chapman is an amazing birthday adventure story. Both you and your children will enjoy this fun story celebrating Peyton and Penny (twins) birthday and the full-color illustrations. Starting from the special breakfast, the ride to the pet store and meeting all the wonderful animals. Visiting the aquarium, bird world, the petting zoo and of course the reptile area. What’s a party without pizza and ice cream and opening presents?? The birthday fun goes on to a jungle safari, but all is not as easy and perfect as it seems. Kids (and the grown-ups who love them) learn about what really is important and what really makes them happy. This book includes a 5 Love Language Quiz to help kids identify their unique love language – gifts, words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service. This is a very special book to be shared with the ones you love – children and adults too.

It is that time of year again. Flowers sprouting and opening their buds of joy…trees filing up with spring time splendor…Yes, spring and gardening time is here.
Every year I dream of having a nice little garden and every year that dream is shattered. See, I have no idea how to really get a garden growing. But now all that has changed since I began to read the book, “The Complete Idiot’s Guide for Small-Space Gardening.”
This ‘idiot’s’ book help me get started…we all need some kind of help and help should begin at the beginning.
The Seed Saving & Starting is also a great book for idiot’s like me. Starting a garden from the very beginning, like right from the embryo stage.
Planting with seeds is not only a money saver, but an amazing show of growth.
So go ahead PLANT A SEED…
I love how easy and delicious this pea soup recipe is. The wonderful thing about frozen peas is that they taste great and are available all year round. I hope you try it.
