This is a simple recipe for scallops that takes<br />
<div>
just a few minutes to prepare. Have the rest </div>
<div>
of your dinner ready to serve and kept warm.<br />
<div>
<br />
The most important thing to know about searing<br />
scallops is to make sure they are completely dry.<br />
You may go through a lot of paper towels. Then<br />
dry again before searing. Also, make sure your<br />
pan is hot. I like to use my cast iron pan. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br />
Simply season scallops well with salt and pepper.<br />
Add olive oil and when it's hot, set the scallops </div>
<div>
into the pan and sear for about 2 minutes per side</div>
<div>
until golden brown and crusty. Do not overcook or </div>
<div>
they'll become rubbery. They cook fast and will </div>
<div>
continue to cook after you remove them from </div>
<div>
the pan. Set them on your warm dinner plates </div>
<div>
or a platter; then make the sauce. </div>
<div>
<br />
The sticky mess at the bottom of the pan is loaded<br />
with flavor and makes a wonderful pan sauce.<br />
Deglaze the pan with wine, it will bubble and steam.<br />
Use a whisk to stir it around and get up the bottom<br />
browned bits. Once reduced to the right<br />
consistency, whisk in butter. Spoon the pan sauce<br />
over the scallops and sprinkle with fresh chopped<br />
parsley. Serve immediately.<br />

<b><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">Seared Scallops with Pan Sauce</span></b><br />
<b>1 lb scallops</b><br />
<b>salt and pepper</b><br />
<b>2 T olive oil</b><br />
<b>1/2 C white wine</b><br />
<b>2 T butter</b><br />
<b>chopped fresh parsley</b><br />
<b><br /></b> Make sure the scallops are completely dry.<br />

sear for 2-3 minutes, depending on their size,<br />
until golden and a bit crusty on the bottom.<br />
Flip and sear the other side for another 1-2<br />
minutes until golden. Remove to a warm platter.<br />
<u><b><span style="color: #783f04;">Pan Sauce:</span></b></u><br />
Add the wine to the pan and deglaze, scraping up<br />
the botton bits. Simmer to reduce the sauce<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We love to enjoy brunch at home.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's a no rush, relax and listen to music while<br />
we prepare something delicious and brew<br />
the coffee kind of morning.<br />
I LOVE the smells of breakfast:<br />
coffee, pancakes or French toast, and<br />
bacon which create the best aromas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRZbRv-cXu2yFRBjXXNbk0wjJgaSMDhPurmOQ0ZOfKNs46D9iGZzRmaA5qkNaeLzoh_5wtM9SJ8x-GpcPcZRcyM3T0cUlGo08l2KyRxCIqkI58vGE_s02Xv3IiSpTAD61DxSedjNytAOQ/s1600/IMG_5328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRZbRv-cXu2yFRBjXXNbk0wjJgaSMDhPurmOQ0ZOfKNs46D9iGZzRmaA5qkNaeLzoh_5wtM9SJ8x-GpcPcZRcyM3T0cUlGo08l2KyRxCIqkI58vGE_s02Xv3IiSpTAD61DxSedjNytAOQ/s320/IMG_5328.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Start by letting your skillet preheat to<br />
medium/medium-low and turn the oven<br />
to 350º. It doesn't take long to get<br />
things going.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Combine the batter ingredients in a shallow<br />
dish. I cut this recipe in half for the two<br />
of us, so a pie dish was a perfect size.<br />
Cut the French bread into 1" thick slices.<br />
Day old bread works best, but you can<br />
just let the cut slices sit on the counter<br />
while you set up. Then soak the slices for<br />
2 minutes on each side.<br />
(<b><i>tip: </i></b>I buy French bread and slice in 1"<br />
thick slices then slide it back in the bag<br />
and pop in the freezer. That way I can<br />
always make French toast or garlic bread<br />
removing just how many slices I want)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Brown them in butter then remove and put<br />
on a cookie sheet in a 325º oven and bake<br />
for about 15-20 minutes. This crisps up<br />
the outside. Put your plates in the oven<br />
for the last minute to warm them.<br />
It makes such a difference to serve<br />
breakfast on heated plates. Serve with a<br />
dusting of powdered sugar and<br />
a side of warm maple syrup.<br />

1. I added the water and Worcestershire sauce</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
along with the tomatoes, then added the shrimp. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>FOR THE SHRIMP</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2 T olive oil</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1 T butter</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1 medium onion chopped</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1 small green pepper, chopped</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3 cloves garlic, minced</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes with liquid</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1 t Cajun/Creole seasoning </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> (Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning) </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2 T tomato paste</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1/2 C water</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2 t Worcestershire sauce</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2 lbs medium-large raw shrimp, peeled</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Salt to taste</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>chopped green onions for garnish</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a large skillet, add the olive oil and butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over medium-high until the butter is melted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add the onions and green pepper and saute until</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
softened, about 4 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stir in the tomatoes and their liquid, the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tomato paste, creole seasoning, water, and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add the shrimp, stirring for 4-5 minutes until </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the shrimp turn pink. Remove from heat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Taste and add salt if needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Serve immediately over warm grits. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Garnish with chopped green onions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>FOR THE GRITS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1-1/2 C grits (not quick-cooking)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1 t salt</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4 T butter</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3-4 C water</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stir in grits and salt. Bring back to a boil, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to low, stir in the butter, and simmer for about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
15 minutes. The grits will absorb all the water,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so you need to stir them occasionally and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
add more water if they become too thick. </div>

Welcome to my new favorite pancake recipe.<br />
What's a weekend morning without pancakes?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's a variation of my <a href="http://rita-may-recipes.blogspot.com/2016/04/easy-everyday-pancakes.html">Everyday Pancakes</a>,<br />
but with a <i>buttermilky </i>taste and fluffiness.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You want light and fluffy <i class="">buttermilky</i> pancakes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but you don't have buttermilk. No problem!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These will satisfy your cravings and they're</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
super easy to make any day of the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Gather ingredients. Today we're having<br />
blueberry pancakes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Combine the milk and vinegar and let sit </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
for about 5 minutes to get soured.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whisk the egg into the milk and stir</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gently into the dry ingredients. Stir</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the butter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMz9kIdZg2R9qEbE1QyXp9O_F5VVFu73Xpk7M107biRCkEh00djp4iARtnq4R7nF7PydM3hVDKl6hHWHTmB2vWnfr0lDkjqiGswD-D18sePiOf1qSdRMiV6pNDeFPNBIW_TvUhyphenhyphen2wmzKk/s1600/IMG_4949.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMz9kIdZg2R9qEbE1QyXp9O_F5VVFu73Xpk7M107biRCkEh00djp4iARtnq4R7nF7PydM3hVDKl6hHWHTmB2vWnfr0lDkjqiGswD-D18sePiOf1qSdRMiV6pNDeFPNBIW_TvUhyphenhyphen2wmzKk/s400/IMG_4949.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Letting batter rest for at least 10 minutes<br />
undisturbed. It's what gives you<br />
fluffier pancakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile, heat your pan to med-hi,<br />
put your plates in a warm oven,<br />
and start the coffee.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGh7UF8OAkMgM7nViGiim-RLAwyl7YLVlcKk0dI5AHSWXvcdE0mkEFHNmz6wICj3Zq2AD2AuB5wftSqNDbXYG7kM-zi2l1izi1byXwu68r66a2EJXfsRFXpPaF87VISI3V4I-UA0SfG_w/s1600/IMG_4950.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGh7UF8OAkMgM7nViGiim-RLAwyl7YLVlcKk0dI5AHSWXvcdE0mkEFHNmz6wICj3Zq2AD2AuB5wftSqNDbXYG7kM-zi2l1izi1byXwu68r66a2EJXfsRFXpPaF87VISI3V4I-UA0SfG_w/s400/IMG_4950.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
You will see bubbles in the batter.<br />
<u><b>Do not</b> stir the batter</u>. This is key<br />
to get the fluffiest pancakes.<br />
Just scoop out using a ladle or a<br />
1/4 C measure per pancake in a sprayed<br />
and buttered heated pan. You can also<br />
use oil. Add blueberries before flipping.<br />
(or mini chocolate chips)<br />
Small bubbles will burst on top and<br />
the edges will look set, about 2 minutes.<br />
Flip and brown the other side for a minute.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are so good with or without blueberries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're even good plain, so moist and tender. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also made them with a few chocolate chips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This recipe serves 2-4 which is perfect for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I save the leftover cooked pancakes then </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
microwave them the next day. Just as good. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Melt in your mouth pancake goodness!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Fluffiest Pancakes </span></u></b><br />
<b>3/4 C milk</b><br />
<b>2 T white vinegar</b><br />
Mix in a measuring cup and let sit 5 miuteswhile<br />
you proceed<br />
<br />
<b>1 C flour</b><br />
<b>2 T sugar</b><br />
<b>1 t baking powder</b><br />
<b>1/2 t baking soda</b><br />
<b>1/2 t salt</b><br />
Whisk dry ingredients in a medium bowl<br />
<br />
<b>1 egg</b><br />
Add the egg to the milk and whisk with a fork<br />
Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and whisk<br />
gently to combine. Do not overmix.<br />
<br />
<b>2 T melted butter</b> (more for the cooking pan)<br />
stir into the batter<br />
<br />
Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes or longer.<br />
Use this time to heat plates in a warm oven,<br />
make coffee, heat the griddle or large pan to<br />
med heat, that's #6 on my stove.<br />
<br />
Use cooking spray on the pan. I add a little butter<br />
for flavor. You can also use vegetable oil.<br />
<b>Do not</b> stir the batter, just scoop out using a small ladle<br />
or 1/4 C measusre to add the batter into the hot pan.<br />
It should sizzle a bit. Cook about 2 minutes until<br />
small bubbles burst on top and the edges look set.<br />
Now is the time to arrange a few blueberries on top.<br />
Peek under the pancakes with a spatula and when<br />
golden brown flip and let cook on the other side<br />
for another minute.<br />
<br />
Remove to the warm plates in the oven.<br />
Serve with butter and maple syrup<br />
<br />
4 servings<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The humble green bean casserole has always </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
been a popular Thanksgiving side dish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did you know that more than 40 million </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Americans will be making it this year?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Why just make it at Thanksgiving? There are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so many other soft foods that day that I </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
prefer a sauted green beans almondine </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or roasted brussels sprouts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like it much better throughout the year<br />
with a roasted chicken, pork roast,<br />
or grilled steak. It's so easy and I can<br />
make it ahead of time.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><u><b>Green Bean Casserole</b></u></span><br />
<b>2 16oz cans green beans, drained, 4 C</b><br />
<b>1 can cream of mushroom soup</b><br />

<b>1/8 t pepper</b><br />
<b>1/8 t garlic powder</b><br />
<b>1 t soy sauce</b><br />
<b>1-2/3 C French's fried onions</b><br />
Combine: beans, soup, milk, seasonings and<br />
2/3 onion rings. Pour into a greased 1-1/2 qt<br />
greased casserole. Bake @350º for 25 minutes.<br />
Remove from oven and stir to combine. Top with<br />
remaining 2/3 C onions. Return to the oven for<br />
another 5 minutes.<br />
Serves 6<br />

I love this recipe because it's easy and<br />
I can make it ahead. Then pop it into<br />
the oven in the morning. While it's baking we<br />
can take our morning walk with Sofie the pup<br />
and walk back into the house to the smell of<br />
apple cinnamon French toast and<br />
coffee brewing. Is anything better</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This recipe makes enough for 3-4 servings. It's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just the right size for us because if there's a<br />
serving left over, I can reheat it in the<br />
microwave the next day. Double the recipe<br />
and use a 9" x 13" pan for family or guests. </div>

If you whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
spices in the large bowl, you can just dump in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the bread and apples. Stir until well combined. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let it sit a bit so that the bread really soaks </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
up the mixture. I'll do it that way the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
next time. Saves a bowl to wash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can make this ahead at this point.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. </div>

Eggs, milk, and vanilla. I like to use whole<br />
milk for cooking. If you don't have that<br />
you can substirute about 1/4 C of the milk<br />

I always have a cans of clams in the house<br />
for this favorite, easy, quick dinner.<br />

It's a favorite of ours to order when we go out,<br />
but it's just as good at home. You can add fresh<br />
clams in the shells to the sauce to fancy it up,<br />
but here's the quick version.<br />
I usually have everything else I need.<br />

olive oil until tender and lightly golden.<br />

Add the clam broth, and white wine.<br />
I also add a little chopped fresh oregano,<br />
if I have it, and a dash of Worcestershire<br />
sauce. A lot of clam sauce recipes have<br />
anchovies in them. W-sauce is a<br />
good substitute.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
These extra light and fluffy pancakes may </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just become your new favorites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilT19QIi9cPRBPqTl908ruNqW-TYQ3lbmnfTGJRk788OC-iAjqvaodaW-jhtlo3mI4Qm5Yeo73mdjfnCH6NFaboNOi9NRBneToiNhhtoqcEpeuiAC0Uv1xbxdSrnJKcXw8nLHoKO8D2C4/s1600/IMG_2919.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilT19QIi9cPRBPqTl908ruNqW-TYQ3lbmnfTGJRk788OC-iAjqvaodaW-jhtlo3mI4Qm5Yeo73mdjfnCH6NFaboNOi9NRBneToiNhhtoqcEpeuiAC0Uv1xbxdSrnJKcXw8nLHoKO8D2C4/s400/IMG_2919.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They taste a lot like buttermilk pancakes, but<br />
since I seldom have real buttermilk, I<br />
always have sour cream in the refrigerator. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes these easy to make any time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigjbmltqA35XUzaL1k8bTjxqmo7jcJiQwmbY08sMw8w6wV6LyY3S9gd63OdkJH7zxml_IWFKxCjDmQ8OdKeBN9SrPcR-Hgnq-FQDWkt1wgzAXwhAgNhUCO_6EFwZmbU12ov4X7RyuXviQ/s1600/IMG_2744.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigjbmltqA35XUzaL1k8bTjxqmo7jcJiQwmbY08sMw8w6wV6LyY3S9gd63OdkJH7zxml_IWFKxCjDmQ8OdKeBN9SrPcR-Hgnq-FQDWkt1wgzAXwhAgNhUCO_6EFwZmbU12ov4X7RyuXviQ/s400/IMG_2744.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll get that "buttermilk fluff and tang" taste</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with these pancakes because the sour cream acts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
much the same way as buttermilk in the batter.</div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><b>Strawberry Shortcake Waffles</b></span><br />
<b>Waffles (<a href="http://rita-may-recipes.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-favorite-waffles.html">HERE's my favorite recipe</a>) </b><br />
<b>fresh strawberries sliced</b><br />
<b>lemon juice</b><br />
<b>sugar</b><br />
<b>heavy cream, whipped and sweetened with a drop of vanilla</b><br />
<b>powdered sugar</b><br />
Now here's how to put these yummies together.<br />
1. Prep the strawberries. If you're hulling lots,<br />
use <a href="http://ritamay-days.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-best-tip-to-hull-strawberries.html">THIS</a> tip. Slice the strawberries and<br />
<i> macerate </i>them is a bowl. That just means<br />
to sprinkle them with a bit of lemon juice<br />
and sugar, toss to release their juices.<br />
2. Mix up the waffle batter.<br />
3. Heat the waffle iron.<br />
4. Whip the cream adding a little sugar and a bit<br />
of vanilla<br />
5. Bake the waffles, keep them warm in the<br />
oven along with your plates until you assemble.<br />
6. On warmed plate assemble: waffle, whipped<br />
cream, juicy strawberries. Repeat.<br />
7. Dust it all over with powdered sugar.<br />
<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">Enjoy!</span></i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love oven pancakes. They're often called Dutch </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Babies or German Pancakes. They are easy to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
make because they don't require constant time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the stove. I just need to pop them in the oven</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and walk away to do other things. My oven puff </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pancakes filled with fresh strawberries are a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
regular breakfast around our house. They are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
also a favorite made by everyone in my family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when I found a new version on Pinterest I </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
knew I'd add to the <a href="http://rita-may-recipes.blogspot.com/2010/05/happy-may-day-pancakes.html">Strawberry Puff Pancakes</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Add the pecans, butter, salt, brown sugar, and</div>

orange juice to an 8" skillet and put in oven </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while it preheats to 425º. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love when I find a new recipe and then realize</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I have all the ingredients. That's what</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happened this week when I walked into Publix. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCjU3uryDLZi3xG8cMUYlnPdfAav5sWanlmwKY9aUkHMRvrfJMcJmfXB5TnpzxtFDBlrY8mCgd2H2ChC_Gnwe6NgHqGaKTJWqo5WhspBY3GE4qrxtlzsgUqPBIedGN1x5cNxKEqqRawkg/s1600/IMG_1652.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCjU3uryDLZi3xG8cMUYlnPdfAav5sWanlmwKY9aUkHMRvrfJMcJmfXB5TnpzxtFDBlrY8mCgd2H2ChC_Gnwe6NgHqGaKTJWqo5WhspBY3GE4qrxtlzsgUqPBIedGN1x5cNxKEqqRawkg/s400/IMG_1652.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up their weekly recipe card and read the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
list of ingredients. I already had the chicken </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thawing at home. I also had the rest of the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ingredients too, right down to the marsala </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wine and balsamic glaze. <b><i>Yes!</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I originally bought the balsamic glaze to make a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
caprese appetizer and am happy to find another</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
use for this ingredient.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Larry sliced the onion and the chicken while </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got the other ingredients ready and we had</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a delicious dinner on the patio in less than</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
30 minutes. Plus leftovers for another lunch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or dinner later in the week.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a little more than 1 lb. of chicken. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
