Easy Recipe: Easy Lemon Pasta with Chicken

I found this recipe on Food Network a couple of months ago, and it has made it's way into our regular dinner rotation. It is really easy, and really good. It is a great summer dinner. You can download the recipe card here.

When I make this dinner, I marinate the chicken in a lemon pepper marinade first. I also make extra chicken and then we have some sort of wrap later in the week. This week I am going to make chicken cesar wraps with the left over chicken.

Easy Recipe: Gramma Schrock's Blueberry Muffins

This week's recipe was sent from Sharon over at the Good, True, and Beautiful.

Here is a little background story for the muffins:

This recipe has been a favorite of my husband’s for many years. Whenever I
ask him what he wants me to bake, Gramma Schrock’s is always on the list.
He talks about Gramma Schrock and her legendary muffins to anyone who will
listen. Imagine my surprise to learn from my mother-in-law that she has no
idea who Gramma Schrock is – apparently the recipe was in a church cookbook from
the early 1900’s and the name stuck!

Easy Recipe: Chicken & Rice

My mom and I found this can at an antiques market a few years ago. It sits in my kitchen and holds Lipton tea bags. I'm a coffee drinker 99% of the time, but every now and then I have a cup of tea.

I love the can. I really like the pattern & colors, but mostly, I love it because I think of my mom every time I look at it.

I used the can's design to create my first recipe in my series of Easy Recipes. These recipes should be less than 10 ingredients and take very little time to put together. As a working mom, I know the importance of an easy meal that everyone will like! Little C, who is 16 months, loves this recipe.

The first recipe is the Chicken and Rice recipe my mom makes. It takes about 5 minutes to throw all of the ingredients into one pie plate, then the oven takes over and does the rest. You can make this dish, steam some veggies, throw some crescent rolls in the oven, and have an awesome dinner in no time.

Don't forget - if you have a recipe that is 10 ingredients or less and takes little time to prepare, let me know about it! I'd love to feature your recipe - just send a note to bigblueeyespress [at] gmail [dot] com
