No matter how I try to diversify my recipe on this blog, it always seems to come down to what’s probably the most popular meat – CHICKEN! First, chicken is incredibly versatile for stews, appetizers, the main course, you name it. Moreover, nutritionists say that the breast is the healthier and leanest part. And we can agree that baking chicken breast is much better for you than frying it. It also makes less of a mess in the kitchen....

Adding veggies to this pasta is totally optional. I always have an exhaustive stock of different varieties of pasta, pasta sauces, canned beans, and vegetables, as they come in handy to prepare a quick meal at any time during the day.

You can also prepare a delicious sauce with simple ingredients such as canned tomatoes (or fresh ripe tomatoes), garlic, onions, and herbs such as basil and oregano....

Have you tried one of those 2 ingredient banana recipes? When I heard about the trend of two ingredient banana pancakes, I just had to jump onboard and do a taste test. Sad to say it’s not my thing.

You may not want to take my word for it....

The Best Slippery Nipple Recipe If you can’t say slippery nipple without cracking a smile, don’t worry – no judgment here. (Honestly, we cannot say it without a giggle or two!) While it is true the name of this cocktail is a touch risqué, it simply pertains to the look of the beverage with the grenadine (and/or cherry) on the bottom.
