Want a super tasty dinner that is quick to make?  Italian spices and taste mixed with cheese and chicken...yum!  You have to try this dish...it all just works together to make a super tasty dinner. I served mine with a side salad and some fresh garlic bread to make the meal complete. Enjoy ~ Diane.

Easy Chicken Provolone

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Salt and ground black pepper
8-10 3 oz. chicken cutlets 
3 cups tomato marinara/sauce *your choice
8 slices of provolone cheese

Preheat oven to 450.
Heat the oil in large pan, add chicken cutlets (I used boneless, skinless, fat removed, thighs.) place herbs in a small bowl to blend (sprinkle over chicken as it cooks - both sides) Season with salt and pepper. Cook just until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Place a spoonful of the marinara sauce (I used my own fresh canned tomato sauce) in bottom of baking dish and place cutlets over sauce, lay slices of provolone on-top of chicken and sprinkle tomato sauce over and around the cutlets. Bake until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake Bars

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon lemon zest, or the zest of (1) large lemon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup fresh blueberries

Topping Ingredients:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8" square pan with butter or spray with non-stick baking spray. Beat the butter and the sugar together until light and fluffy, about 6-7 minutes. Stir in the vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.

Place the blueberries in a small bowl and sprinkle with a couple tablespoons of the dry flour, stir gently to coat the berries. Add half of the dry ingredients (flour & baking powder) to the mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the sour cream, mix again, and add the remaining dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Gently stir in the blueberries and pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place the flour and sugar for the topping in a small bowl and add the melted butter. Stir lightly with a fork to combine. Sprinkle the sugary crumbs over the batter in the pan.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Let cool before slicing. Enjoy!

2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium onion, sliced
1/2 cup coca cola *not diet
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce

Pour barbecue sauce into shallow bowl. Dip ribs into sauce. Place ribs in slow cooker. Pour any remaining sauce over ribs. Cover and cook on low heat setting 1 hour.

Pickled Okra - for your fridge...

8/16/2014

I made these a few weeks back when I scooped up a deal at the Farmers Market on Okra. I wanted to try adding a bit of white wine vinegar to the brine to see how much of an impact it would have...now, weeks later - I am happy to report that it makes these little okras taste fantastic!! Perfect for snacking, or on an appetizer tray - much better in a Bloody Mary!! The kind of different flavor that will leave people thinking they can't quite guess what it is but, its good!  Diane

Fridge Pickled Okra

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon dill seed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes *optional but, great! 
10 ounces okra, rinsed and pat dry

Combine all the ingredients except the okra in a small sauce pan and gently heat, only until sugar is dissolved.
While that mixture is heating, pack each pint jar with half of the okra.
Once the sugar's dissolved in the brine, remove from heat. Use a canning funnel and a ladle to transfer brine to jars. The ladle is important because you'll be able to scoop up mustard and celery seeds for each jar instead of them just all ending up in the last jar. Top off with just a little water if some of the okra pods are above the brine.
Allow to cool to room temperature and then secure jar lids. Refrigerate for 4 weeks. Shake gently every week to ensure that the flavors evenly distribute.
These should last in the fridge for another month after the aging period.
