chicken parmesan

Once again Gina Homolka does not disappoint. The original recipe comes from her book The Skinnytaste Cookbook.

This is a tasty and healthy version of Chicken Parmesan that is sure to please. This meal is a mix of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, smothered with basil and tomato marinara sauce and topped with shredded Parmesan. 

The recipe for the marinara sauce was so easy, delicious and fast. I may never buy marinara sauce again. Yum!

chicken sausage, baby kale and red pepper pasta

The original recipe called Orcchiette with Sausage, Baby Kale and Bell Pepper was created by Gina Homolka's from her book The Skinnytaste Cookbook. I was not able to find orcchiette at my grocery store and went with some wheat and gluten free organic rice vegetable twists by Mrs. Leeper's. I also subbed out Romano cheese with Parmesan which goes to show you don't have to follow a recipe exactly and it can still turn out delicious. The final dish turned out great and my husband was sad when he finished his plate and had to wait till the next day to eat it again. Success!
