Lemon Garlic Chicken

I made this last night.  It was delicious.  These ingredients I have most of the time at my house.  So, I was happy to stumble upon the recipe.  I served it with whole pasta and a salad.  If you haven't noticed, this is one of my favorite cooking blogs.  I've made nothing on here that I didn't rave about - simply wonderful - and most of the time super easy :)! Enjoy: Kimberly

Lemon-Garlic Herb Rubbed Chicken
Recipe by Our Best Bites

1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced or pressed garlic
1 large or 2 small lemons, zested and juiced
1/3-1/2 cup minced fresh herbs, preferably a combo of basil, rosemary, and oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4-6 tablespoons (or more) extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts*

*also great on fish and grilled vegetables

Combine garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper.  Add olive oil until mixture comes together like a thick sauce.  If you have a mini food processor, you can blend the mixture until it becomes the consistency of a chunky pesto.  Rub mixture over chicken and/or vegetables and let sit for 20-30 minutes.  When ready to cook, preheat outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.  Cook a few minutes on each side, turning only once, until done (Internal temp should be about 165 degrees).

Oh My!!  We had this tonight for dinner.  All of the boys ate it, including Gray who is 1 and Sam who usually only eats the bread for dinner.  I loved it and it was so easy!  Enjoy!!!   Ingredients:   1 package of penne pasta (I used whole grain) 1/2 t. rosemary 2 packages of sliced pepperoni , halved ( I used 1 package and it seemed to be plenty) 1/4 c. pepperocini (omit if too spicy for kids, but it wasn't really spicy with it.  I will probably use more than 1/4 next time) 1 jar roasted red bell pepper, drained and chopped 3 1/2 c. boiling water 1/2 c. whipping cream (I used milk) 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese   Directions:   In a large pot, layer pasta, rosemary, pepperoni, pepperocini, and roasted red pepper.   Add water and bring to a boil.   Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer until pasta is tender.   Add cream and cheese.  Toss to coat.

Simple Cole Slaw by Ashley

I love coleslaw, all different kinds, but I have never made it before. A girl that I don't know has a recipe blog that I go to often and I got this recipe from her. I loved that it said "simple". Simple I can do. *my Dad loves coleslaw as well, but is kind of a coleslaw snob and he really liked it. *i served it with homemade sloppy joes and tater tots :) Ingredients: 1/3 cup canola-based mayonnaise ( I am sure you can use any kind of mayo, but this is better for you.) 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 3 cups packaged cabbage and carrot coleslaw Directions: Combine mayo, sugar, pepper, salt, and dry mustard with a whisk. Add coleslaw and toss.
