About this blog

I would like to share recipes on different ways to enjoy chicken. I decided to choose chicken because I have realized I’m stuck in this routine when it comes to eating chicken and the same several recipes has become boring. There’s tons of recipes online and in cook books and of course I can seem to remember or memorized a handful of them. I like chicken, and it goes great with lots of different food. 
Chicken Marsala over noodles
One of my favorite chicken recipes is Chicken Marsala. When I make this recipe I use noodles instead of potatoes. If you go to an Italian restaurant and order this dish its usually served with mashed potatoes. I personally feel this dish goes better with noodles. But, I'm Italian and my grandmother has always told me when I was little noodles was one thing I had to eat with any dinner meal so it makes sense to me on my preference. Believe it or not, this recipe can be a slow cooker recipe. I have not tried this, I'm kind of nervous to try it because I am so used to making it on the stove top and Im not sure if there would be a taste difference.

As for my picky daughter. She will eat this meal but not mushrooms. If someone from the future came to me and told me not to worry she will grow out of being such a eater or she eats this at 30 and eats the mushrooms I wouldn't believe even a picture. I do hope that she does grow out of it. My other experience with picky eaters is my youngest brother. He was such a picky eater as a child I'm honestly surprised he's 6'1 and is still a picky eater. He's not as bad as he was when he was younger but it's still surprising what he doesn't eat.

Like many I have a full time job and two daughters, time is limited but we all have to eat. However, of my two daughters, my youngest refuses to eat meat that isn’t chicken. I do not consider myself an expert at cooking. The 35-40 minute quick or cheap meals are ideal but slower cooker meals are wonderful and lovely too. I would like for my readers to give any kind of helpful feedback whether it’s recommendations, changes you’ve made and liked or disliked, tips or ideas. I hope to receive different recipes, advice from parents or family members of picky eaters, former/current picky eaters, and any advice is appreciated.
