Chicken Valdostana

This is a classic northern Italian dish ( from the Val de Osta) . It features boneless chicken breasts, Prosciutto, fontina cheese, and mushrooms in a white wine sauce. It is relatively easy and definitely elegant.

Creamy Tuscan Chicken

What is Tuscan chicken? Well.. this recipe was actually inspired by the Olive Garden (an American restaurant chain) and made super popular by Pinterest. As such, there are many variations online. This is our twist on it. This simple creamy chicken recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, but it's also good enough for serving company.

Linguine with Scampi Shrimp and Basil

Prepared Mediterranean-style and tossed in a light sauce with garlic, onions, white wine, and lemon juice. Add your favorite salad to start!

The herbed gravy is so good you may find yourself doubling it. Goes well with a rice pilaf or a Greek salad pita bread.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Healthy broccoli cheddar soup packed with carrots, broccoli, garlic, and cheese.

Creamy White Bean Rosemary Soup

Creamy and delicious
